Abstract: This supporting statement is for a revision to an
existing Information Collection Request (ICR) for four mobile source-
related grant programs administered by the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). These
four programs include: Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Grant
Program, Clean School Bus (CSB) Grant Program, Clean Heavy-Duty
Vehicles (CHDV) Grant Program, and Clean Ports Grant Program. The EPA
currently uses this ICR to collect information to administer these
programs, but to reflect the final program design and to further ease
the burden for participants and Agency staff, the Agency needs to
update this ICR to be able to use improved versions of previously
approved instruments and collect information via three new reporting
instruments. This ICR revision enhances project reporting instruments
to ensure that the project reporting templates align with the final
program design and requirements and incorporate user feedback received
during the application period for the CHDV and Clean Ports Grant
Programs.
EPA uses approved procedures and forms to collect necessary
information to operate its grant programs and has been providing grants
under DERA since 2008. EPA launched the Clean Port Program and Clean
Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program in early 2024 and is overseeing the 2023
Clean School Bus Grantees. While these programs each have unique
statutory requirements, there are key aspects that unite them, and by
combining them as a cohort of programs under one ICR, EPA aims to
enrich data quality across our programs and to ease burden on
participants and agency staff overseeing multiple programs.
Additionally, this collection will enhance the Agency's oversight of
these projects as directed by Congress. The data collected will enable
verification each project's programmatic compliance and support the
Agency's commitment to prevent any potential fraud, waste, and abuse.
Finally, the data collected supports OTAQ's mission to protect human
health and the environment by reducing emissions from mobile sources
and advancing clean fuels and technology, in alignment with Pillar 1:
Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American of Administrator Zeldin's
Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative.
