SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application, Reports, Post-Award Actions, and Recordkeeping for the Direct Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program under the RESTORE Act.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0250.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Description: The Department of the Treasury administers the Direct Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program authorized under the RESTORE Act. Treasury awards grants for these two programs from proceeds in connection with administrative and civil penalties paid after July 6, 2012, under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act relating to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and deposited into the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund. Direct Component grants are awarded to the States of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and 23 Florida counties and 20 Louisiana parishes and Centers of Excellence grants are awarded to the States of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The information collection for both programs identify the eligible recipients; describes proposed activities; determines an appropriate amount of funding; ensures compliance with the RESTORE Act, Treasury's regulations, and Federal laws and policies on grants; tracks grantee progress; provides for approvals of post-award actions; and reports on the effectiveness of the programs. Treasury's transition in Fiscal Year 23 of both RESTORE Act programs to a new online grants management system will provide the benefit of conversion to more interactive forms, like web-based forms or editable PDFs. The collection has been updated to provide for this transition.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 48.
Estimated Annual Responses: 498.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,979.
Estimated Total Cost: $298,950.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
