Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) makes
competitive financial assistance awards to support projects that tackle
environmental, public health, and energy challenges across the country.
This is accomplished by working directly with community-based
organizations (CBOs) and state, local, territorial, and tribal
governments that have strong ties to the communities in which they are
working. EPA fosters a collaborative approach to tackling some of the
most critical challenges in the most overburdened communities by
encouraging projects that involve multiple stakeholders including
States, local governments, and tribal governments. To help get
resources and funding to underserved and overburdened communities EPA
offers Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem Solving (EJCPS) and
Environmental Justice Government to Government (EJG2G) cooperative
agreement programs. With this Information Collection Request (ICR), EPA
seeks authorization to collect post-award information in the form of
semi-annual progress reports and final reports from each grantee to
track their progress, with respect to effectiveness (e.g., the extent
to which projects achieved their objectives, goals, and targets),
efficiency (e.g., the extent to which projects delivered activities and
outputs on schedule and within budget), and equity (e.g., the extent to
which investments and benefits flowed to disadvantaged communities that
are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution).
Collection of this information enables EPA to assess and manage the
EJCPS and EJG2G programs, which ensures responsible stewardship of
public funds; rigorous evidence-based learning and improvement; and
transparent accountability to the American public.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Recipients of financial assistance
awards.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory for recipients of
financial awards to obtain or retain a benefit (2 CFR parts 200 and
1500).
Estimated number of respondents: 217.
Frequency of response: Varies.
Total estimated burden: 17,360 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $994,554 (per year), including $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: This is a new collection, and so does not
involve any program changes or burden adjustments.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
