SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 12680]]
Title and OMB Number: EAC Progress Report; 86 FR 73747 (Page 73747-
73748, Document Number: 2021-28199)
Purpose
This proposed information collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on December 28, 2021 and allowed 60 days for
public comment. In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, EAC has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the
information collection listed below. The purpose of this notice is to
allow an additional 30 days for public comment from all interested
individuals and organizations.
The EAC Office of Grants Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible for
distributing, monitoring and providing technical assistance to states
and grantees on the use of federal funds. EAC/OGM also reports on how
the funds are spent to Congress, negotiates indirect cost rates with
grantees, and resolves audit findings on the use of HAVA funds.
The EAC Progress Report has been developed for both interim and
final progress reports for grants issued under HAVA authority. This
revised format builds upon that report for the various grant awards
given by EAC and provides terminology clarification. The Progress
Report will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier for
them to administer federal grant and cooperative agreement programs
through standardization of the types of information required in
progress reports--thereby reducing their administrative effort and
costs.
Public Comments
We are soliciting public comments to permit the EAC to:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of the Office of Grants Management.
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of burden for this
proposed collection, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
<bullet> Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are
public record. Before including any detailed personal information, you
should be aware that your comments as submitted, including your
personal information, will be available for public review. OMB approval
is requested for 3 years.
Respondents: All EAC grantees.
