responsibilities. This ICR renewal requests authorization for the 
collection of information under EPA's General Regulation for Assistance 
Programs, which establishes minimum management requirements for all 
recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance 
agreements). Recipients must respond to these information requests to 
obtain and/or retain a benefit (Federal funds). For awards made prior 
to December 26, 2014, 40 CFR part 30, ``Grants and Agreements with

by statute, required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial 
assistance management. For awards made after December 26, 2014, 2 CFR 
200 and EPA's implementation of 2 CFR 200 at 2 CFR 1500 ``Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for 
Federal Awards'' establishes the management requirements for all entity 
types. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by 
statute, required by OMB Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound and 
effective financial assistance management. This ICR combines all of 
these requirements under OMB Control Number 2030-0020. The information
