SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting

for reference.
Information Collection Request Title: Environmental Information and
Documentation (EID), OMB No. 0915-0324, Extension.
Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval of an extension for the EID
checklist which consists of information that the agency is required to
obtain to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). NEPA establishes the federal government's national policy for
protection of the environment. HRSA has developed the EID for
applicants of funding that would potentially impact the environment and
to ensure that their decision-making processes are consistent with
NEPA.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Applicants must provide
information and assurance of compliance with NEPA on the EID checklist.
This information is reviewed in the Pre-Award stage (and/or prior to
the implementation of the project). The information is reviewed in the
Post-Award stage for project changes and the information is reviewed
before the implementation of the project changes.
Likely Respondents: HRSA applicants applying for federal loan
guarantees, federal construction grants, and cooperative agreements.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.

Director, Executive Secretariat.
