SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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) authorized the Coronavirus Capital
Projects Fund (``CPF''). The CPF provides $10 billion in funding for
the Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'') to provide grant payments
to States (defined to include the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico), seven territories and freely associated states (including 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 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'').
Section 604(b) of the Act prescribes that the $10 billion be
allocated to eligible grant recipients according to a formula provided
in the statute. Treasury has used this formula to calculate the CPF
grant fund allocations for each eligible recipient and has posted these
allocations on its website. In general, each State (including the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) will receive between
approximately $107 million and $500 million, each of the seven named
territories and freely associated states will receive approximately $14
million, and each Tribal government will receive approximately
$167,000.
Treasury has separately received approval under OMB #1505-0274 for
information collections related to applying for CPF grant awards
(``Applications'') and for specifying the use of funds (``Grant
Plans'').
For non-Tribal entities, the current information collection is used
to solicit information related to quarterly project and expenditure
reports and annual performance reports. Both information collections
are described generally in the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for
States, Territories, and Freely Associated Sates, which provides these
recipients information needed to fulfill their reporting requirements
and compliance obligations.
For Tribal entities, the current information collection will be
used to solicit information for annual reports. The information
collection is described generally in the Compliance and Reporting
Guidance for Tribal Entities, which provides Tribal entities with
information needed to fulfill their reporting requirements and
compliance obligations.
Form: None.
Affected Public: State, Territorial, Tribal and Freely Associated
States Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 609.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly, Annually.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 845.
Estimated Time per Response: Varies from 20 to 80 hours per year
depending on type of respondent and report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 30,352.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
