Abstract: The collection of information is necessary in order to receive applications for credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) of 2014, 33 U.S.C. 3903.

WIFIA requires that an eligible entity submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Apr 26, 2023 Jkt 259001 information, as the Secretary or the Administrator may require to receive assistance under WIFIA. In order to satisfy these requirements, EPA must collect an application from prospective borrowers seeking funding.

Total estimated cost: $10,772,065 (per year), which includes $10,000,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 375 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to EPA anticipating fewer collections based on average numbers in the past 3 years. That decrease is offset by a small increase due to a new form.
