Title: Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0277.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Description: Section 604 of the Social Security Act (the ``Act''),
as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,
Public Law 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021) established the Coronavirus Capital
Projects Fund (``CPF''). The CPF provides $10 billion in funding for
the U.S. Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'') to make payments
according to a statutory formula to States (defined to include each of
the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico), seven
territories and freely associated states (the United States Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of
Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau), and Tribal governments \1\ to
carry out critical capital projects directly enabling work, education,
and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the
public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-
19).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ An eligible Tribal government is the recognized governing
body of any Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo,
village, community, component band, or component reservation,
individually identified (including parenthetically) in the list
published most recently as of the date of enactment of this Act
pursuant to section 104 of the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe
List Act of 1994 (25 U.S.C. 5131). The State of Hawaii, for
exclusive use of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and the
Native Hawaiian Education Programs to assist Native Hawaiians, is
also eligible to apply for funding under this funding category.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current information collection is being used to solicit
information related to quarterly project and expenditure reports and
annual performance reports submitted by CPF recipients that are states,
territories, or freely associated states. For these recipients, the
information collection is being renewed without changes.
Treasury is adding to this information collection Compliance and
Reporting Guidance that will be used to solicit information related to
annual project, expenditure and performance reports submitted by CPF
recipients that are Tribal governments.
The Compliance and Reporting Guidance provides recipients with
information needed to fulfill their reporting requirements and
compliance obligations. Data is submitted to Treasury using a web-based
portal and in accordance with specific data requirements.
Project and expenditure reports must be submitted quarterly for the
duration of the period of performance for States, territories, and
freely associated states, and annually for the duration of the period
of performance for Tribal governments. The project and expenditure
report contains a set of standardized questions to ascertain the
recipient's use of funds received as of the date of reporting, as well
as the status of individual projects. Treasury will make the data
submitted by recipients publicly available.
Performance reports must be submitted annually for all recipients
for the duration of the period of performance. For states, territories,
and freely associated states, the performance report will contain
detailed performance data corresponding to the ``Programs'' specified
previously in a recipient's Grant Plan. This will include information
on efforts to improve equity and engage communities. The performance
report is largely freely written text, and while there are certain data
and topics that recipients must cover in the performance report, it is
mostly free-form written content. Recipients are required to publish
the performance report on their website and provide the reports to
Treasury. Treasury will make the performance reports and associated
data submitted by recipients publicly available. For Tribal
governments, the performance report will also be free-form written
content, but is shorter and less detailed.
Form: Compliance and Reporting Guidance for States, Territories,
and Freely Associated States; Compliance and Reporting Guidance for
Tribal Governments.
Affected Public: State, Territorial, Freely Associated State, and
Tribal governments receiving CPF grant funds.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 609.
Frequency of Response: States, territories, and freely associated
states: 4 times per year for project and expenditure reports, and 1
time per year for performance reports; Tribal governments: 1 time per
year.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 845.
Estimated Time per Response: 62 hours for State project and
expenditure reports. 80 hours for State performance reports. 50 hours
for Tribal annual reports.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 46,852.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
