Program. EPA proposes to collect information from this program's grant
recipients. Specifically, EPA proposes to have all EE grantees use the
progress report form, detailed in the supporting statement, when
drafting their Quarterly Progress Reports and Final Reports. By
requiring all EE Grantees to use the EE Local Grant Progress Report
Form, EPA's Office of Environmental Education will be equipped to
gather data on this grant program's outputs, outcomes, the total number
of individuals reached, and the total number of underserved communities
reached. This information will help EPA ensure projects are on schedule
to meet their goals and produce high-quality environmental outputs.
Additionally, requiring all EE grantees to submit their Quarterly and
Final reports using the proposed form will allow EPA's Office of
Environmental Education to accurately track and report the overall
impact of this grant program as well as contribute to the Agency's
Justice40 reporting requirements.
Form Numbers: EPA Form Number 5800-082.
Respondents/affected entities: Local education agencies, colleges
or universities, state education or environmental agencies, nonprofit

agrees to submit progress reports on a quarterly basis to the EPA
Project Officer within thirty (30) days after each reporting period and

(120) days after the expiration or termination of the approved project
period.
Estimated number of respondents: 240 (per year).
Frequency of response: Four times per year for the Quarterly
