SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Environmental
Information and Documentation, OMB No. 0915-0324--Extension.
Abstract: HRSA proposes an extension of the Paperwork Reduction Act
approval for the Environmental Information and Documentation (EID)
checklist, which consists of information that the agency is required to
obtain to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 as amended by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. NEPA
establishes the federal government's national policy for protection of
the environment. The EID checklist must be completed and submitted by
applicants for HRSA funds that plan to engage in construction or other
projects that will potentially impact the environment. HRSA uses the
checklist to ensure that decision-making processes are consistent with
NEPA and other related environmental and historic preservation laws.
The extension will support HRSA's implementation of programs with
capital improvements that have the potential to significantly affect
the human environment, such as construction/expansion and alteration/
renovation activities, as defined in the associated HRSA program
guidance, or installation of fixed equipment.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on October 24,
2024, 89 FR 84898, No. 2024-24732; pp. 84898 and 84899. There were no
public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Applicants for HRSA funds
must provide information and assurance of compliance with NEPA on the
EID checklist. This information is reviewed during the Pre-Award stage
(and/or prior to the implementation of the project). The information is
reviewed in the Post Award stage for project changes and the
information is reviewed before the implementation of the project
changes.
