Abstract: This ICR presents EPA's estimates for the burden and
costs associated with the information collection activities related to
pollution prevention grant programs and the collection of activity and
results data from the grantees via a standard electronic format. P2
means reducing or eliminating pollutants from entering any waste stream
or otherwise being released into the environment prior to recycling,
treatment, or disposal. EPA's P2 program operates three grant programs
and is developing two new grant programs. The three existing programs
are: The Pollution Prevention State Tribal Assistance Grants (P2 STAG);
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Pollution Prevention Grants (P2 BIL);
and the Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grants. The P2 STAG and SRA
grants are funded through recurring appropriations and require grantees
to provide matching funds. The P2 BIL grants, which are funded through
the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also referred
to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), are also STAG but do not
require grantees to provide matching funds. The two new grant programs
under development are: The Pollution Prevention Grant: Environmental
Justice Through Safer/Sustainable Products (P2 EJ Products); and the
Pollution Prevention Grant: Environmental Justice in Communities (P2 EJ
Facilities). The P2 EJ Products and P2 EJ Facilities grants will also
be supported by BIL funding and, as such, do not require grantee
matching funds.
Form Numbers: 9600-047 and 9600-048.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR may include entities identified by the North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 99200, i.e., State
Governmental entities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit.
Total estimated number of potential respondents: 275 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 5,123 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated annual costs: $431,778 (per year), includes no
annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
