1.
Identification
of
the
Information
Collection
Title:
Brownfields
Program
 
Revitalization
Grantee
Reporting
(
OMB
Control
Number
2050­
NEW;
EPA
ICR
No.
2104.01).

This
is
a
request
for
a
new
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR).
This
ICR
covers
the
collection
of
information
from
those
organizations
that
receive
grants
from
EPA
under
the
authority
of
subtitle
A
of
the
 
Small
Business
Liability
Relief
and
Brownfields
Revitalization
Act 
(
Public
Law
107­
118,
January
2002).
Subtitle
A
of
the
Act
amends
the
Comprehensive
Environmental
Response,
Compensation,
and
Liability
Act
(
CERCLA),
as
amended,
and
authorizes
EPA
to
award
grants
to
states,
tribes,
local
governments,
and
other
eligible
entities
to
support
the
assessment
and
cleanup
of
brownfields
properties.
With
this
ICR,
EPA s
Office
of
Brownfields
Cleanup
and
Revitalization
(
OBCR)
seeks
authorization
to
collect
information
from
grantees
using
several
standard
forms
that
will
streamline
the
data
collection
effort
and
improve
the
quality
of
information
collected.
The
information
collected
under
this
ICR
supplements
the
minimum
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements
that
grantees
are
subject
to
under
40
CFR
Part
30,
 
Grants
and
Agreements
with
Institutions
of
Higher
Education,
Hospitals,
and
Other
Non­
profit
Organizations 
and
40
CFR
Part
31,
 
Uniform
Administrative
Requirements
for
Grants
and
Cooperative
Agreements
to
State
and
Local
Governments. 
EPA
estimates
that
all
respondents
who
voluntarily
respond
to
this
information
collection
by
electing
to
participate
in
the
Brownfields
grants
program
have
determined
that
the
expected
benefits
of
participation
outweigh
any
burden
associated
with
preparing
the
response.

2.
Need
for/
Use
of
the
Collection
On
January
11,
2002,
the
President
signed
into
law
the
Small
Business
Liability
Relief
and
Brownfields
Revitalization
Act
(
the
 
Brownfields
Amendments ),
which
authorizes
EPA
to
award
several
types
of
grants
to
eligible
entities
on
a
competitive
basis.
Under
subtitle
A
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments,
States,
tribes,
local
governments,
and
other
eligible
entities
can
receive
grants
to:

(
1)
inventory,
characterize,
assess,
and
conduct
planning
and
community
involvement
related
to
brownfield
sites;

(
2)
carry
out
cleanup
activities
at
brownfield
sites;

(
3)
capitalize
revolving
loan
funds
and
provide
sub­
grants
for
cleanup
activities;
and
(
4)
support
the
creation
and
implementation
of
environmental
job
training
and
placement
programs.

DRAFT

Under
the
Brownfields
Amendments,
a
brownfields
site
means
real
property,
the
expansion,
redevelopment,
or
reuse
of
which
may
be
complicated
by
the
presence
or
potential
presence
of
a
hazardous
substance,
pollutant,
or
contaminant.
For
grant
funding
purposes,
EPA
uses
the
term
 
brownfields
property(
ies) 
synonymously
with
the
term
 
brownfields
sites. 

While
the
Agency
collects
basic
grant
information
as
part
of
its
Federal
stewardship
responsibilities
to
manage
and
oversee
recipient
activities
and
expenditures
(
see
40
CFR
Parts
30
and
31),
EPA s
Office
of
Brownfields
Cleanup
and
Revitalization
(
OBCR)
needs
additional
information
from
grantees
to
be
reported
in
a
consistent
manner
in
order
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
the
program
and
to
report
on
program
activities
and
accomplishments
to
Congress
and
other
program
stakeholders.
Specifically,
OBCR
will
use
the
information
collected
from
grantees
to
oversee
the
activities
carried
out
using
grant
funds,
to
evaluate
program
implementation
and
effectiveness,
and
to
meet
the
Agency s
responsibilities
under
the
Government
Performance
and
Results
Act
to
report
on
OBCR s
accomplishments.
The
information
collection
activities
covered
by
this
ICR
are
intended
to:
(
1)
improve
the
alignment
of
reporting
requirements
with
programmatic
performance
measures;
and
(
2)
simplify
and
standardize
reporting
requirements
so
as
to
reduce
uncertainty
and
burden
imposed
on
grantees.
Without
the
information
collection,
OBCR
would
have
limited
access
to
information
needed
to
effectively
assess
the
relationship
between
those
activities
funded
by
EPA s
subtitle
A
brownfields
grants
and
the
intent
of
Congress
with
the
passage
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments.

for
the
information
that
EPA
seeks
under
this

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB.
The
first
notification
of
the
Agency s
request
for
this
new
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
April
4,
2003
(
see
Attachment
D
for
a
copy
of
the
Federal
Register
notice).

3(
c).
Consultations
 
EPA
has
more
than
eight
years
of
experience
managing
a
Brownfields
pilot
program
that
awarded
more
than
670
cooperative
agreements
to
State,
local,
and
Tribal
governments
to
address
brownfields
properties.
For
these
Brownfields
pilot
grants,
EPA
staff
have
worked
closely
with
the
pilot
recipients
to
help
them
participate
in
the
program
and
address
their
brownfields
properties.
As
such,
EPA
has
a
detailed
understanding
of
the
activities
that
grantees
undertake
and
the
burden
they
incur
for
voluntarily
participating
in
EPA s
grants
programs.
In
addition,
during
the
preparation
of
this
ICR
and
the
reporting
forms
that
are
included,
EPA
contacted
eight
Brownfields
pilot
recipients
to
ask
them
specific
questions
about
the
burden
associated
with
completing
the
draft
forms
included
in
this
ICR.
Pilot
recipient
responses
form
the
basis
of
EPA s
calculations
of
the
burden
hours
and
costs.

3(
d).
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
 
The
information
collection
schedule
is
consistent
with
the
Agency s
reporting
schedule
for
general
assistance
grants.
Less
frequent
collection
may
not
enable
EPA
to
oversee
and
manage
Brownfields
grants
effectively
and
would
lessen
OBCR s
ability
to
report
up­
to­
date
and
accurate
information
on
program
activities
and
accomplishments.
In
consideration
of
the
burden
imposed
on
grantees,
EPA
has
adopted
less
frequent
reporting
for
the
Property
Profile
form
in
which
grantees
are
required
to
update
and
submit
the
form
as
notable
activities
or
changes
occur
at
a
particular
property.
EPA
anticipates
that
recipients
of
assessment,
cleanup,
and
revolving
loan
fund
grants
will
submit
an
updated
Property
Profile
form
to
EPA,
on
average,
two
times
a
year.

Information
Requested
 
The
information
requested
by
EPA
under
this
ICR
includes
information
from
grantees
specific
to
the
activities
undertaken
and
the
accomplishments
that
result
using
Brownfields
grant
funds.
The
information
to
be
collected
by
EPA
will
vary
by
the
type
of
grant
awarded
to
the
respondent.
For
Brownfields
assessment,
cleanup,
and
revolving
loan
fund
grants,
EPA
requires
grantees
to
prepare
an
initial
Property
Profile
form
(
see
Attachment
A)
for
each
property
at
which
grant
funds
are
expended.
The
Property
Profile
form
complements
the
information
collected
as
part
of
the
quarterly
reports
required
by
the
general
assistance
regulations,
and
requests
basic
information
about
each
brownfields
property
covered
by
the
grant,
such
as
property
name,
location,
parcel
number,
and
size.
EPA
requires
grantees
to
update
the
Property
Profile
form
as
notable
activities
or
changes
occur
on
the
property,
but
no
more
frequently
than
quarterly.
For
example,
as
an
assessment
of
the
property
is
completed,
grantees
are
required
to
complete
the
portion
of
the
Property
Profile
form
that
applies
to
assessments,
and
provide
basic
information
to
EPA
on
the
type
of
assessment,
date
of
completion,
and
results
or
findings
of
the
assessment.
Other
sections
of
the
Property
Profile
1For
the
purposes
of
the
Brownfields
grant
program,
EPA
defines
general
purpose
unit
of
local
government
as
a
 
local
government 
as
that
term
is
defined
under
40
CFR
Part
31.

2For
the
purposes
of
the
Brownfields
grant
program,
EPA
uses
the
definition
of
nonprofit
organization
contained
in
Section
4(
6)
of
the
Federal
Financial
Assistance
Management
Improvement
Act
of
1999,

collect
basic
information
on
cleanups
and
any
redevelopment
activities
that
occur
on
the
property,
including
estimates
of
the
number
of
jobs
that
result.

Brownfields
job
training
grantees
are
required
to
complete
on
a
quarterly
basis
the
Brownfields
Job
Training
Performance
Form
(
see
Attachment
B).
The
Job
Training
Performance
Form
includes
six
questions
that
seek
basic
information
on
how
grant
funds
were
used
to
support
job
training
programs
and
the
accomplishments
stemming
from
those
programs.
For
example,
job
training
grantees
will
report
the
number
of
participants
who
have
completed
the
training,
whether
participants
obtained
employment,
and
the
average
hourly
wages
of
participants
who
obtained
employment.

All
respondents
receiving
grants
awarded
under
subtitle
A
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments
are
required
to
complete
and
submit
each
quarter
a
Financial
Management
Form
(
see
Attachment
C)
that
requests
basic
financial
information
for
each
grant.
This
form
will
request
financial
data
to
be
provided
to
EPA
in
a
manner
that
is
consistent
with
the
statutory
framework
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments,
and
allows
for
improved
grant
tracking,
oversight,
and
reporting.
For
example,
grantees
will
use
this
form
to
report
financial
information
to
EPA
separately
on
expenditures
associated
with
hazardous
substance
contamination
and
expenditures
associated
with
petroleum
contamination
only.

The
Information
Collected
 
Agency
Activities,
Collection,
Methodology
and
Information
Management
5(
a).
Agency
Activities
 
EPA
is
responsible
to
Congress
and
other
stakeholders
to
ensure
that
its
resources
are
being
used
efficiently
and
effectively,
to
evaluate
the
progress
of
the
grantees
in
meeting
the
goals
of
EPA s
Brownfields
Cleanup
and
Revitalization
Program,
and
to
share
the
successes,
lessons
learned,
and
best
practices
among
Brownfields
grantees.
EPA
will
collect
the
information
using
standardized
forms
that
minimize
the
burden
on
respondents
while
ensuring
consistent
information
that
can
be
easily
aggregated
and
accurately
reported.
EPA
program
staff
will
review
the
information
collected
to
keep
current
on
grant
activities,
and
will
enter
the
information
into
the
Agency s
Brownfields
Management
System
(
BMS).
EPA
uses
BMS
to
maintain
information
on
all
of
its
Brownfields
grants,
develop
reports
to
support
management
and
program
evaluation
activities,
and
to
report
accomplishments
achieved
as
part
of
the
Agency s
responsibilities
under
GPRA.

5(
b).
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
 
EPA
will
initially
collect
data
under
this
ICR
using
a
standard
set
of
forms,
instructions,
and
guidance
that
are
designed
to
simplify
and
facilitate
the
reporting
requirements
for
grant
recipients.
In
fulfilling
the
requirements
under
the
Government
Paperwork
Elimination
Act
(
Public
Law
105­
277),
EPA
is
currently
developing
an
electronic
reporting
and
information
dissemination
system
that
will
allow
each
grant
recipient
to
report
and
review
its
data
electronically
using
the
internet.
This
on­
line
electronic
reporting
system
will
be
integrated
with
EPA s
BMS
to
further
streamline
the
Agency s
data
management
and
reporting
responsibilities.
EPA
expects
that
this
on­
line
electronic
reporting
system
will
be
available
to
grantees
beginning
in
the
first
quarter
of
FY2004.
EPA
will
modify
its
reporting
DRAFT
­
April
4,
2003
5
guidance
and
provide
training
when
the
electronic
reporting
system
is
in
place.
EPA
anticipates
that
the
electronic
reporting
and
information
dissemination
system
will
reduce
the
burden
placed
on
grant
recipients;
preliminary
estimates
based
on
conversations
with
current
and
former
Brownfields
pilot
recipients
suggest
that
such
a
system
will
reduce
the
reporting
burden
by
as
much
as
50
percent.

5(
c).
Small
Entity
Flexibility
 
This
information
collection
request
is
expected
to
affect
small
governmental
jurisdictions,
which
are
defined
as
governments
of
cities,
counties,
towns,
townships,
villages,
school
districts,
or
special
districts
with
populations
of
less
than
50,000.
This
definition
may
also
include
Indian
Tribes,
in
keeping
with
the
President s
Federal
Indian
Policy.
EPA
has
considered
whether
to
establish
different
reporting
requirements
for
small
entities
and
has
determined
that:
(
1)
different
reporting
requirements
among
grantees
will
result
in
inconsistent
data
that
may
lessen
the
Agency s
ability
to
oversee
and
report
on
program
activities
and
accomplishments;
(
2)
the
burden
imposed
by
this
information
collection
is
relatively
small
and
small
entities
should
not
be
unduly
burdened
by
the
reporting
requirement;
and
(
3)
the
Brownfields
grants
program
is
voluntary
and
respondents
who
elect
to
participate
in
this
program
have
determined
that
the
expected
benefits
of
participation
outweigh
any
burden
associated
with
preparing
the
response.

5(

Schedule
 
The
information
to
be
collected
under
this
ICR
shall
not
occur
more
frequently
than
quarterly.
Brownfields

If

by

those

or
a

in

(

Estimating
respondent
costs
­
To
estimate
the
unit
burden
(
hours)
and
hourly
rate
for
each
information
collection
activity,
EPA
relied
on
its
extensive
experience
working
closely
with
Brownfields
pilot
grant
recipients,
as
well
as
in­
depth
interviews
with
eight
current
or
former
pilot
grant
recipients
specific
to
this
ICR.
Those
interviewed
were
shown
draft
copies
of
all
forms
and
accompanying
instructions
and
guidance
that
would
be
used
for
reporting
and
asked
to
estimate
(
1)
the
number
of
hours
that
would
be
required
to
perform
each
task;
and
(
2)
the
labor
mix
required
to
perform
each
task
(
e.
g.,
percentage
of
management,
technical,
clerical).
The
data
gathered
from
these
interviews
was
then
analyzed
to
estimate
the
unit
burden
and
labor
mix.

The
unit
labor
cost
(
dollars)
for
this
burden
estimate
is
a
weighted
hourly
rate
based
upon
the
estimated
labor
mix
and
wage
rates
gathered
from
the
U.
S.
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS).
Across
all
tasks,
data
from
consultations
indicate
that
the
average
grantee
will
incur
15%
of
its
burden
with
executive/
managerial
staff
labor,
5%
with
professional
specialty
staff
labor,
70%
with
technical
labor,
and
10%
with
administrative
support
or
clerical
labor.
This
labor
mix
was

applied
to

National
Compensation
Survey
(

data
issued
in

for
a
weighted
hourly
rate
of
$
29.57.

Cleanup,
assessment,
and
revolving
loan
fund
grant
recipients
will
be
required
to
report
progress
with
a
 
Property
Profile 
form
(
see
Attachment
A).
EPA
anticipates
that
the
initial
completion
of
this
form
will
require
approximately
1
hour.
Grantees
will
be
required
to
update
this
form
as
grant
milestones
are
achieved,
though
not
more
frequently
than
quarterly.
It
is
estimated
that
each
update
will
require
approximately
1.5
hours
for
a
unit
burden
of
$
44.36.
It
is
estimated
that
each
form
will
be
updated
an
average
of
twice
per
year.

Job
training
grant
recipients
will
be
required
to
report
progress
on
a
quarterly
basis
using
EPA s
 
Brownfields
Job
Training
Performance
Form 
form
(
see
Attachment
B).
Grantees
will
be
required
to
report
progress
on
a
quarterly
basis,
with
each
update
requiring
approximately
5
hours
for
a
unit
burden
of
$
147.85.
The
majority
of
this
burden
stems
from
the
collection
of
salary
or
wage
information
from
job
training
program
participants
who
are
able
to
find
employment.

All
grantees
who
receive
federal
funding
under
the
authority
of
subtitle
A
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments
will
be
required
to
complete
a
Financial
Management
Form
(
see
Attachment
C).
Grantees
will
be
required
to
report
information
using
this
form
on
a
quarterly
basis,
with
each
report
requiring
approximately
2
hours
for
a
unit
burden
of
$
59.14.

All
grants
awarded
under
subtitle
A
of
the
Brownfields
Amendments
cover
a
period
of
performance
of
two
years.
Based
on
the
Agency s
experience
under
its
pilot
grants
program,
EPA
estimates
that
at
the
end
of
two
years,
approximately
75
percent
of
grants
will
receive
a
no­
cost
extension,
approximately
20
percent
of
grantees
will
receive
supplemental
awards,
and
5
percent
of
grants
will
close
out.
Grantees
that
receive
either
a
no­
cost
extension
or
a
supplemental
award
will
be
required
to
continue
to
report
on
their
grant
activities
using
the
forms
authorized
under
this
ICR.
This
burden
is
included
in
the
estimated
number
of
responses
per
year
and,
therefore,
the
overall
burden
calculation
estimated
for
this
ICR.

Start­
up
costs
to
meet
the
Brownfields
grants
reporting
requirements
are
minimal
and
are
a
part
of
the
customary
and
usual
expenses
incurred
by
grantees.
There
are
no
capital
costs
related
to
Brownfields
reporting
requirements.
Therefore,
total
start­
up
and
capital
costs
are
zero.
There
are
no
operation
and
maintenance
costs
required.

Property
Profile
Reporting
Guidance
(
Note:
OMB
Review/
Approval
is
pending
for
the
Property
Profile
form)

Overview:
The
Property
Profile
form
requires
the
grant
recipient
to
provide
three
general
categories
of
information,
only
one
of
which
is
optional:

 
Background
information
about
each
property
targeted
by
an
assessment,
cleanup,
or
RLF
grant
recipient
(
e.
g.,
name,
street
address,
lat/
long,
acres,
historical
use,
ownership
information)
required
to
provide
context
and
specifics
about
the
grantee s
property
targeted
activities
and
accomplishments.

 
Quantitative
information
regarding
required
performance
measures
reporting
to
provide
data
to
support
evaluation
of
most
of
the
performance
measures
related
to
these
types
of
grants
(
e.
g.,
assessment
activities,
cleanup
activities,
leveraged
funding,
reuse,
and
other
leveraged
accomplishments
such
as
job
creation).

 
Anecdotal
information
(
reporting
is
optional)
to
illustrate
some
of
the
unique
characteristics
or
innovative
approaches
undertaken
to
assess,
cleanup,
and/
or
reuse
the
targeted
property
or
impacted
community.

Compared
to
the
Quarterly
Reports,
each
Property
Profile
contains
information
relating
only
to
a
specific
property
targeted
by
the
grantee.
Quarterly
Reports
should
not
contain
property
specific
information
except
to
identify
area­
wide/
regional
redevelopment
projects
and
their
relation
to
one
or
more
targeted
properties.
Please
note
that,
in
most
instances,
this
information
is
accessible
by
the
public
under
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(
FOIA)
and
may
be
distributed
by
EPA
to
the
public
unless
one
of
FOIA
exclusions
is
applicable.

When
to
Submit:
Original
Profiles.
Grantees
should
originate
a
Property
Profile
when
a
grantee
targets
a
property
for
EPA
brownfields
grant
funded
activities.
For
assessment
grants,
this
will
typically
mean
when
assessment
or
planning
activities
are
initiated
at
the
property
using
the
grant
funds.
For
cleanup
and
RLF
grants,
this
will
typically
mean
when
cleanup
activities
are
initiated
at
the
property
using
the
grant
funds.
For
RLF
grants,
this
may
also
mean
when
a
subgrant
or
loan
package
is
completed
for
a
specific
property.
A
Profile
should
not
be
created
just
because
the
grant
recipient
community
is
targeting
the
property;
allowable
activities
funded
by
the
EPA
brownfields
grant
must
be
undertaken
at
the
property
for
the
Profile
to
be
initiated.

Updated
Profiles.
Property
Profiles
should
be
updated
as
activities
(
e.
g.,
assessment,
cleanup,
reuse,
state
voluntary
cleanup
program
participation)
and
accomplishments
(
e.
g.,
cleanup
completed,
reuse
underway,
significant
leveraged
funding
received)
dictate
and
then
submitted
along
with
the
next
required
Quarterly
Report.
For
example,
a
Profile
should
be
updated
upon:
completion
of
a
Phase
2
assessment;
receipt
of
a
no
cleanup
action/
cleanup
complete
document;
completion
of
cleanup
activity;
initiation/
completion
of
the
planned
reuse
project.
In
addition,
a
DRAFT
­
April
4,
2003
18
Profile
should
be
updated
as
the
property
background
information
changes
or
if
there
are
other
anecdotal
information
and
successes
that
the
grant
recipient
wants
to
share
with
EPA.
Grantees
should
also
revise
and
submit
updated
Profiles
for
all
targeted
properties
when
the
grant
is
being
closed­
out.

To
Whom
to
Submit:
Grantees
should
submit
all
Property
Profiles
to
their
EPA
Regional
Project
Officer
and
the
EPA
Headquarters
Data
Manager.
EPA
is
developing
a
web­
based
(
i.
e.,
electronic)
reporting
and
information
dissemination
system
to
facilitate
future
grantee
reporting.

Definitions
and
Other
Instructions
for
Completing
Property
Profiles:
This
section
provides
definitions
for
several
of
the
performance
measures
and
other
data
points

Section
II.
Property
Background
Information
This
section
provides
basic
background
information
about
the
targeted
property.
To
a
large
extent,
much
of
this
information
is
historical
(
e.
g.,
name,
street
address,
lat/
long,
size,
description/
history)
and
should
be

in
the
original
version
of
the
profile,
with
updates
only
as
necessitated
by
changed
circumstances.
EPA,
or
its
contractors,
will
assist
grant
recipients
in
obtaining
lat/
long
information.

For
purposes
of
grantee
reporting,
a
 
property 
is
defined
as
a
contiguous
piece
of
land
under
unitary
ownership,
at
the
time
it
first
benefits
from
EPA
brownfields
grant
funded
activities.
A
property
may
contain
several
smaller
components,
parcels,
or
areas;
all
reporting,
unless
otherwise
indicated,
should
be
provided
for
the
property

number).
Additional
guidance
regarding
EPA s
Data
Standards
for
geographic
information
will
be
provided
by
the
grantee s
EPA
Project
Officer.
For
each
property

by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant,
the
grantee
must
also
indicate
the

If
you
would
like
to
provide
in
a
brief
narrative
description
(
i.
e.,
this
information
is
optional),
the
grantee
can
describe
the
property
by
providing
information
about
the
history
of
the
property,
including
past
owners
and
past
uses
leading
to
any
real
or
perceived
environmental
contamination.
Additional
information
about
the
current
use,
zoning,
and
ownership
of
the
property
should
also
be
provided.

Section
III.
Environmental
Assessment
Information
In
this
section,
the
grantee
should
provide
information
relating
to:
(
A)
assessment
activities
conducted
or
leveraged
by
the
EPA
grant;
and
(
B)
basic
information
(
e.
g.,
contamination)
discovered
during
the
assessment
activity.
This
section
is
mandatory
for
assessment
grants.
For
cleanup
and
RLF
grants,
assessment
activities
must
be
reported
only
if
the
grant
leverages
post­
grant
award
assessment
assistance
or
funding.

Section
III.
A.
Assessment
Activities
The
assessments
completed
performance
measure
captures
the
total
number
of
assessments
completed
directly
with,
or
leveraged
by,
EPA
brownfields
grant
funding.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant,
the
grant
recipient
must
identify
the
type
of
assessments
conducted
and
their
completion
dates
along
with
the
amount
of
EPA
grant
funds
used
for
each
assessment.

This
measure
captures
the
number
of
properties
that
have
environmental
assessments
completed
either
by
the
grant
recipient
using
grant
funds,
in
whole
or
in
part,
or
leveraging
non­
grant
funds
(
i.
e.,
outside
of
the
brownfields
cooperative
agreement).
A
property
should
be
credited
with
a
Phase
1
environmental
assessment
completion
when
an
environmental
professional
or
state
official
has
prepared
an
environmental
assessment
report,
in
accordance
with
the
all
appropriate
inquiry
standard
set
forth
in
the
Brownfields
Law
(
CERCLA
§
101(
35)),
that
has
been
accepted
by
the
grant
recipient.

Assessment
funding
information
should
be
described
by
source
(
e.
g.,
EPA
brownfields
grant,
state
community
development
grant,
HUD
BEDI
funding,
private
developer)
and
amount.
Assessment
activity
conducted
and
funded
prior
to
award
of
the
grant
should
not
be
provided
(
i.
e.,
pre­
award
activities
are
not
considered
leveraged
and
should
not
be
reported).

Section
III.
B.
Assessment
Findings
In
addition
to
the
funding
information,
the
grantee
should
indicate
which
classes
of
contaminants
have
been
identified
through
the
assessment
activities
(
e.
g.,
petroleum,
VOCs,
metals,
asbestos,
lead,
mine
waste,
controlled
substances,
PCBs).

The
no
cleanup
required
performance
measure
captures
the
total
number
of
assessed
properties
that
do
not
require
environmental
cleanup
before
reuse
may
proceed.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant,
the
grant
recipient
must
indicate
whether
cleanup
is
required
as
soon
as
the
assessment
activity
is
complete
enough
to
make
the
determination.
An
 
environmental
cleanup 
is
defined
as
any
cleanup
that
is
required
at
DRAFT
­
April
4,
2003
20
a
property
as
a
result
of
contamination
by
any
hazardous
substance,
petroleum
product,
or
solid
waste
at
levels
that
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
and
the
environment.
The
 
no
cleanup
required 
determination
is
generally
made
by
the
grant
recipient
or
property
owner
 
typically
in
conjunction
with
state
voluntary
response
officials
and/
or
certified
environmental
professionals
following
an
environmental
assessment
of
the
property
 
to
indicate
that
the
property
does
not
have
any
contaminants
at
levels
that
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
or
the
environment.

Section
IV.
Environmental
Cleanup
Information
In
this
section,
the
grantee
should
provide
information
relating
to:
(
A)
cleanup
activities
conducted
or
leveraged
by
the
EPA
grant;
and
(
B)
basic
information
relating
to
the
cleanup
activity.
This
section
is
mandatory
for
cleanup
and
RLF
grants.
For
assessment
grant
recipients,
cleanup
activities
must
be
reported
only
if
the
cleanup
activity
is
undertaken
at
a
property
that
has
been
assessed
under
the
assessment
grant,
directly
or
through
leveraging.

Section
IV.
A.
Cleanup
Activities.
The
cleanup
completed
performance
measure
captures
the
number
of
properties
that
have
environmental
cleanups
completed
such
that
reuse
may
proceed.
A
property
is
given
credit
for
the
completion
of
cleanup
activities
when
one
of
the
following
conditions
applies:
(
1)
a
 
clean 
or
 
no
further
action 
letter
(
or
its
equivalent)
has
been
issued
by
the
state
under
its
voluntary
response
program
(
or
its
equivalent)
for
the
cleanup
activities
at
the
property;
or
(
2)
the
grant
recipient
or
property
owner,
upon
the
recommendation
of
an
environmental
professional,
has
determined
and
documented
that
on­
property
work
is
finished
and
any
needed
institutional
or
engineering
controls
are
in
place
and
functional.
Ongoing
operation
and
maintenance
activities
or
monitoring
may
continue
after
a
cleanup
completion
designation
has
been
made.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant,
the
grant
recipient
must
also
indicate
whether
institutional
controls
(
e.
g.,
non­
engineered
instruments,
such
as
administrative
or
legal
controls)
are
required
as
part
of
the
cleanup
or
containment
activity
to
help
minimize
the
potential
for
exposure
to
contamination
and/
or
restricts
land
or
resource
use.

Cleanup
funding
information
should
be
described
by
source
(
e.
g.,
EPA
brownfields
grant,
HUD
CBDG
funding,
local
tax
increment
financing,
private
developer)
and
amount
for
the
cleanup
activities.
For
all
RLF
grants,
to
the
extent
that
the
cleanup
funding
for
a
targeted
property
is
attributable
to
an
RLF
loan
or
subgrant,
the
type
(
e.
g.,
nonprofit
organization,
developer)
and
name
of
the
borrower/
subgrantee
should
be
provided
along
with
the
value
of
the
loan
issued
(
i.
e.,
when
the
loan
document
is
signed
and
legally
binding)
or
subgrant
awarded.
Cleanup
activity
funded
and
conducted
prior
to
award
of
the
grant
should
not
be
included
(
i.
e.,
pre­
award
activities
are
not
considered
leveraged
and
should
not
be
reported).

Section
IV.
B.
Cleanup
Findings.
The
types
of
contaminants
removed/
addressed
performance
measure
captures
the
number
and
types
of
several
specified
classes
of

21
contaminants
(
e.

mine
waste,
controlled
substances,
PCBs)
that
are
either
treated
on
the
property
or
treated
and/
or
disposed
at
another
location.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant
and
undergoing
cleanup
activities,
the
grant
recipient
must
report
the
classes
of
contaminants
removed
or
otherwise
addressed.

Section
V.
Reuse
and
Other
Leveraged
Accomplishments
In
this
section,
the
grantee
should
provide
information
relating
to
redevelopment
activities
and
other
non­
assessment
or
cleanup
accomplishments
leveraged
by
the
EPA
grant
and
basic
information
relating
to
the
leveraged
activities.
This
section
is
mandatory
for
all
grant
types
where
targeted
properties
undergo
subsequent
reuse
activities.

The
redevelopment
underway
performance
measure
captures
the
number
of
properties
that
have
reuse
activities
underway.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant
that
leverages
reuse
funding
or
assistance,
the
grant
recipient
must
also
identify
the
number
of
acres
on
the
property
where
greenspace
(
e.
g.,
parks,
wildlife
refuges,
nature
trails)
is
created
or
preserved
through
the
redevelopment
project. 
Redevelopment
activities
underway 
include
on­
property
work
initiated
for
any
such
activity,
except
the
environmental
cleanup
activities
necessary
to
prepare
the
property
for
reuse.

The
funds
leveraged
performance
measure
captures
the
cumulative
value
of
non­
grant
dollars
linked
and
leveraged
to
support
additional,
related
activities
of
the
grant
recipient.
This
measure
captures
funding
leveraged
only
after
the
grant
has
been
awarded.
These
leveraged
funds
may
be
used
to
support
allowable
activities
(
e.
g.,
inventory,
assessment,
cleanup)
as
captured
in
the
previous
sections
and
activities
that
cannot
be
funded
by
the
EPA
grant
(
e.
g.,
redevelopment
construction,
transportation
improvements)
which
should
be
reported
in
this
section.

Redevelopment
funding
information
should
be
described
by
source
(
e.
g.,
state
brownfields
grant/
tax
incentive,
HUD
BEDI
funding,
local
tax
increment
financing,
private
developer)
and
the
value
of
the
funding
amount
for
the
reuse
activities.
Leveraged
redevelopment
funding
may
be
used
for
any
non­
assessment
or
cleanup
activities
that
prepares
the
property
for
sustainable
reuse.
Redevelopment
may
include
non­
commercial
reuses
(
e.
g.,
parks,
wildlife
refuges,
nature
trails,
and
green
spaces,
non­
profit
community
health
care
facility)
as
well
as
commercial
or
industrial
uses
(
e.
g.,
the
expansion
or
remodeling
of
an
existing
business,
industry,
or
housing
project,
the
construction
of
a
new
business,
industry,
or
housing
project).
Reuse
activities
conducted
and
funded
prior
to
award
of
the
grant
should
not
be
included
(
i.
e.,
pre­
award
activities
are
not
considered
leveraged
and
should
not
be
reported).

To
the
extent
that
funding
for
program/
grant­
level
activities
and/
or
redevelopment
activities
have
been
leveraged
but
cannot
be
discretely
allocated
to
one
or
more
targeted
properties,
the
leveraged
funding
should
be
described
in
the
Quarterly
Report
(
i.
e.,
not
in
the
Property
Profile),
accompanied
by
a
description
of
the
amount
leveraged,

activity
funded,
funding
source,
and
which
specific
properties
or
areas
(
if
any)
benefit
from
the
funding.

The
jobs
leveraged
performance
measures
captures
the
number
of
jobs
that
have
been
leveraged
as
a
result
of
EPA
brownfield
grant
activities
at
a
property.
For
each
property
targeted
by
an
EPA
brownfields
grant,
the
grant
recipient
must
identify
the
total
number
of
all
jobs
leveraged
during
the
assessment,
cleanup,
construction,
and
redevelopment
at
the
property.
The
grant
recipient
should
indicate
the
number
of
jobs
of
a
short­
term
nature
(
i.
e.,
with
a
duration
of
less
than
one
year)
typically
leveraged
during
the
assessment,
cleanup,
and
construction
stage;
and
the
number
of
jobs
of
a
long­
term
nature
that
typically
occur
as
a
result
of
the
new
or
enhanced
reuse
at
the
property
(
i.
e.,
with
a
duration
of
more
than
one
year).

Section
VI.
Property
Ownership
Information
This
section
seeks
to
capture
data
about
the
changes
in
property
ownership
that
have
occurred
during
the
grant
period.
This
information
will
help
EPA
assess
whether
the
bona

prospective
purchaser
(
BFPP)
liability
protection,
provided
in
the
Brownfields
Amendments
to
the
Comprehensive
Emergency
Response,
Compensation,
and
Liability
Act
(
CERCLA
or
Superfund),
is
facilitating
property
transfers.
Grant
recipients
also
have
the
option
of
indicating
that
they
do
not
know
whether
the
BFPP
exemption
has
had
an
impact
on
property
transfers.

Section
VII.
Anecdotal
Property
Information
(
Optional
Reporting)
This
section
is
optional
for
all
grant
recipients
and
seeks
to
capture
other,
anecdotal
information
about
the
property
that
the
grant
recipient
wants
to
share
with
EPA
for
use
in
its
evaluation
of
the
success
of
the
grant
and
for
its
use
in
developing
communications
materials
to
promote
the
brownfields
program
and
grants.

Section
VII.

of
environmental
threats,
use
of
existing
infrastructure,
community
involvement)
should
be
highlighted
as

funded
and/
or
leveraged
through
the
grant
at
the
targeted
property.
Any
such
activities
that
are
not
linked

Participants
completing
training:
This
measure
captures
the
number
of
job
training
participants
who
completed
the
grant
recipient s
job
training
program.
Each
quarterly
report
should
include
the
incremental
changes
occurring
during
the
reporting
period,
as
well
as
the
cumulative
totals
accomplished
since
the
beginning
of
the
cooperative
agreement.

Participants
obtaining
employment:
This
measure
captures
the
number
of
job
training
graduates
who
have
obtained
jobs,
of
any
kind.
Each
grant
recipient
must
identify
the
incremental
number
of
program
graduates
who
found
employment
during
the
reporting
period
and
the
current
cumulative
total
number
of
graduates
who
found
employment
since
the
beginning
of
the
cooperative
agreement.
The
cumulative
total
should
only
increase;
the
grant
recipients 
quantitative
reporting
of
the
cumulative
total
should
not
reflect
any
decreases
for
graduates
who
had
obtained
employment,
but
later
report
losing
their
jobs.
A
grant
recipient
can
narratively
describe
any
reported
job
losses.
Self­
employed
graduates
should
be
counted.

Average
hourly
wage:
This
measure
captures
the
average
hourly
wage
of
job
training
graduates
in
their
initial
post­
training
employment.
Each
grant
recipient
must
identify
the
hourly
wage
for
the
first
job
that
each
employed
graduate
secures
after
completing
the
job
training
program.
Anecdotal
information
about
subsequent
jobs
and
wages
may
also
be
narratively
provided
by
the
grant
recipient.

Funds
leveraged:
This
measure
captures
the
total
number
of
non­
grant
dollars
linked
and
leveraged
to
support
additional,
related
activities
of
the
grant
recipient.
This
measure
captures
funding
leveraged
only
after
the
grant
has
been
awarded.
These
leveraged
funds
may
be
used
to
support
activities
that
cannot
be
funded
by
the
EPA
grant
(
e.
g.,
transportation
or

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structures
(
OMB
Control
No.
2040
 
0213,
EPA
ICR
Number
1838.02).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
March
31,
2003.
Note
that
the
Agency
is
substituting
the
term
  
Phase
III  
for
  
Phase
II  ,
in
the
title
of
the
original
ICR,
to
correspond
to
the
revised
structure
of
the
rulemaking.
Under
the
PRA
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
In
accordance
with
the
PRA,
this
notice
announces
the
submission
of
a
revised
ICR
from
the
EPA
to
the
OMB
for
review
and
approval.
EPA
requests
approval
to
contact
80
respondents
from
the
original
survey
for
clarifications
of
their
responses
and
to
request
their
316(
b)
environmental
studies.
EPA
also
requests
approval
to
conduct
a
survey
of
two
industries
(
offshore
and
coastal
oil
and
gas
extraction
facilities
(
OCOGEFs)
and
seafood
processing
vessels)
potentially
subject
to
Section
316(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(
CWA),
33
U.
S.
C.
1326(
b).
EPA
was
made
aware
of
these
two
industries
from
public
comments
received
on
the
proposed
Phase
I
rule
(
65
FR
49060).
These
industries
were
not
surveyed
in
the
original
information
collection.
For
this
request,
EPA
has
revised
the
original
ICR
questionnaires
to
customize
them
for
the
OCOGEFs
and
Seafood
Processing
Vessels.
Responses
to
this
Industry
Detailed
Questionnaire
will
help
EPA
better
characterize
the
design,
location,
construction,
and
operation
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
at
industrial
facilities
throughout
the
U.
S.
Section
316(
b)
provides
that
any
standard
established
pursuant
to
Sections
301
or
306
of
the
CWA
and
applicable
to
a
point
source
shall
require
that
the
location,
design,
construction,
and
capacity
of
cooling
water
intake
structures
reflect
the
best
technology
available
for
minimizing
adverse
environmental
impact.
EPA
is
developing
regulations
implementing
Section
316(
b)
of
the
CWA,
33
U.
S.
C.
1326(
b)
pursuant
to
a
Consent
Decree
in
Riverkeeper
v.
Whitman
[
93
civ.
0314
(
AGS)].
The
baseline
data
will
help
EPA
frame
regulatory
options
and
define
further
research
needs
regarding
the
relationship
of
cooling
water
intake
structures,
intake
technologies,
and
environmental
impacts.
The
economic
and
financial
information
will
help
EPA
to
assess
facility­
level
and
firm­
level
impacts
of
complying
with
the
proposed
regulations
and
also
enable
EPA
to
carry
out
required
economic
analyses,
including
Regulatory
Impact
Analysis
(
RIA),
cost/
benefit
analysis,
and
small
business
analysis.
In
order
to
fully
evaluate
costs
associated
with
a
proposed
Section
316(
b)
regulations,
EPA
will
consider
the
costs
associated
with
performing
Section
316(
b)
demonstration
studies,
additions
and
modifications
to
cooling
water
intake
structures
and
equipment,
and
operating
and
monitoring
costs
associated
with
the
regulations.
EPA
has
the
authority
to
collect
this
information
under
Section
308
of
the
CWA
(
33
U.
S.
C.
1318).
Accordingly,
responses
to
the
questionnaires
(
Industry
Technical
Questionnaire
and
Industry
Economic
Questionnaire)
would
be
mandatory.
In
accordance
with
40
CFR
part
2,
subpart
B,
Section
2.203,
the
survey
will
inform
respondents
of
their
right
to
claim
information
as
confidential.
The
survey
provides
instructions
on
the
procedures
for
making
Confidential
Business
Information
(
CBI)
claims,
and
the
respondents
also
will
be
informed
of
the
terms
and
rules
governing
protection
of
CBI
obtained
under
the
CWA.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA s
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.

Abstract:
The
Small
Business
Liability
Relief
and
Brownfields
Revitalization
Act
(
Public
Law
107
 
118)
(  
the
Brownfields
Amendments  )
was
signed
into
law
on
January
11,
2002.
The
Act
amends
the
Comprehensive
Environmental
Response,
Compensation,
and
Liability
Act
(
CERCLA),
as
amended,
and
authorizes
EPA
to
award
grants
to
states,
tribes,
local
governments,
and
other
eligible
entities
to
assess
and
clean
up
brownfields
sites.
Under
the
Brownfields
Amendments,
a
brownfields
site
means
real
property,
the
expansion,
redevelopment,
or
reuse
of
which
may
be
complicated
by
the
presence
or
potential
presence
of
a
hazardous
substance,
pollutant,
or
contaminant.
For
grant
funding
purposes,
EPA
uses
the
term
  
brownfields
property(
ies)  
synonymously
with
the
term
  
brownfields
sites.  
The
Brownfields
Amendments
authorize
EPA
to
award
several
types
of
grants
to
eligible
entities
on
a
competitive
basis.
Under
subtitle
A
of
the
Small
Business
Liability
Relief
and
Brownfields
Revitalization
Act,
States,
tribes,
local
governments,
and
other
eligible
entities
can
receive
assessment
grants
to
inventory,
characterize,
assess,
and
conduct
planning
and
community
involvement
related
to
brownfields
properties;
cleanup
grants
to
carry
out
cleanup
activities
at
brownfields
properties;
grants
to
capitalize
revolving
loan
funds
and
provide
subgrants
for
cleanup
activities;
and
job
training
grants
to
support
the
creation
and
implementation
of
environmental
job
training
and
placement
programs.
Grant
recipients
have
general
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements
as
a
condition
of
their
grant
that
result
in
burden.
A
portion
of
this
reporting
and
record
keeping
burden
is
authorized
under
40
CFR
parts
30
and
31
and
identified
in
the
EPA s
general
grants
ICR
(
OMB
Control
Number
2030
 
0020).
EPA
requires
Brownfields
program
grant
recipients
to
maintain
and
report
additional
information
to
EPA
on
the
uses
and
accomplishments
associated
with
the
funded
brownfields
activities.
EPA
has
prepared
several
forms
to
assist
grantees
in
reporting
the
information
and
to
ensure
consistency
of
the
information
collected.
EPA
will
use
this
information
to
meet
Federal
stewardship
responsibilities
to
manage
and
track
how
program
funds
are
being
spent,
to
evaluate
the
performance
of
the
Brownfields
Cleanup
and
Redevelopment
Program,
to
meet
the
Agency s
reporting
requirements
under
the
Government
Performance
Results
Act,
and
to
report
to
Congress
and
other
program
stakeholders
on
the
status
and
accomplishments
of
the
grants
program.
This
ICR
addresses
the
burden
imposed
on
grant
recipients
that
are
associated
with
those
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
that
are
specific
to
grants
awarded
under
Subtitle
A
of
the
Small
Business
Liability
Relief
and
Brownfields

Act.
This

Environmental
Impact

LO
 
Lack
of
Objections
The
EPA
review
has
not
identified
any
potential
environmental
impacts
requiring
substantive
changes
to
the
proposal.
The
review
may
have
disclosed
opportunities
for
application
of
mitigation
measures
that
could
be
accomplished
with
no
more
than
minor
changes
to
the

Environmental
Concerns
The
EPA
review
has
identified
environmental
impacts
that
should
be
avoided
in
order
to
fully
protect
the
environment.
Corrective
measures
may
require
changes
to
the
preferred
alternative
or
application
of
mitigation
measures
that
can
reduce
the
environmental
impact.
EPA
would
like
to
work
with
the
lead
agency
to
reduce
these

EO
 
Environmental
Objections
The
EPA
review
has
identified
significant
environmental
impacts
that
must
be
avoided
in
order
to
provide
adequate
protection
for
the
environment.
Corrective
measures
may
require
substantial
changes
to
the
preferred
alternative
or
consideration
of
some
other
project
alternative
(
including
the
no
action
alternative
or
a
new
alternative).
EPA
intends
to
work
with
the
lead
agency
to
reduce
these
impacts.

EU
 
Environmentally
Unsatisfactory
The
EPA
review
has
identified
adverse
environmental
impacts
that
are
of
sufficient
magnitude
that
they
are
unsatisfactory
from
the
standpoint
of
public
health
or
welfare
or
environmental
quality.
EPA
intends
to
work
with
the
lead
agency
to
reduce
these
impacts.
If
the
potentially
unsatisfactory
impacts
are
not
corrected
at
the
final
EIS
stage,
this
proposal
will
be
recommended
for
referral
to
the
CEQ.
Adequacy
of
the
Impact
Statement
Category
1
 
Adequate
EPA
believes
the
draft
EIS
adequately
sets
forth
the
environmental
impact(
s)
of
the
preferred
alternative
and
those
of
the
alternatives
reasonably
available
to
the
project
or
action.
No
further
analysis
or
data
collection
is
necessary,
but
the
reviewer
may
suggest
the
addition
of
clarifying
language
or
information.

Category
2
 
Insufficient
Information
The
draft
EIS
does
not
contain
sufficient
information
for
EPA
to
fully
assess
environmental
impacts
that
should
be
avoided
in
order
to
fully
protect
the
environment,
or
the
EPA
reviewer
has
identified
new
reasonably
available
alternatives
that
are
within
the
spectrum
of
alternatives
analyzed
in
the
draft
EIS,
which
could
reduce
the
environmental
impacts
of
the
action.
The
identified
additional
information,
data,
analyses,
or
discussion
should
be
included
in
the
final
EIS.

Category
3
 
Inadequate
EPA
does
not
believe
that
the
draft
EIS
adequately
assesses
potentially
significant
environmental
impacts
of
the
action,
or
the
EPA
reviewer
has
identified
new,
reasonably
available
alternatives
that
are
outside
of
the
spectrum
of
alternatives
analyzed
in
the
draft
EIS,
which
should
be
analyzed
in
order
to
reduce
the
potentially
significant
environmental
impacts.
EPA
believes
that
the
identified
additional
information,
data,
analyses,
or
discussions
are
of
such
a
magnitude
that
they
should
have
full
public
review
at
a
draft
stage.
EPA
does
not
believe
that
the
draft
EIS
is
adequate
for
the
purposes
of
the
NEPA
and/
or
section
309
review,
and
thus
should
be
formally
revised
and
made
available
for
public
comment
in
a
supplemental
or
revised
draft
EIS.
On
the
basis
of
the
potential
significant
impacts
involved,
this
proposal
could
be
a
candidate
for
referral
to
the
CEQ.

Summary:
EPA
expressed
environmental
concerns
with
project

overall
forest
health,
including
commutative
impacts.
The

the
potential
for

that
could
impact
