In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public

SUMMARY:
impact the environment. HRSA utilizes
the checklist to ensure that decisionmaking processes are consistent with
NEPA. The revisions will update some

term ‘‘grant’’ to ‘‘award’’ and ‘‘grantee’’
to ‘‘award recipient.’’
Need and Proposed Use of the

checklist. This information is reviewed
during the pre-award stage.
Likely Respondents: HRSA applicants
applying for federal construction grants
and cooperative agreements.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
