On January 13, 2023, Treasury received emergency clearance from OMB to update the approved collection and add two new forms for recipients to submit requests to waive the new domestic preference requirements under BABAA.

    Title: Application, Reports, 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. Centers of 
Excellence grants are awarded to the States of Alabama, Florida, 
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The information collection for both 
programs identifies 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;

[[Page 47560]]

tracks grantee progress; and reports on the effectiveness of the 
programs.
    Section 70914(a) of BABAA prohibits Direct Component recipients 
(and subrecipients, as applicable) from using RESTORE Act funds to 
purchase foreign-sourced iron, steel, manufactured products, or 
construction materials unless Treasury approves a waiver pursuant to 
section 70914(b) of BABAA. On January 13, 2023, Treasury received 
emergency clearance from OMB to update the approved collection and add 
two new forms for recipients to submit requests to waive the new 
domestic preference requirements under BABAA. Treasury requested an 
emergency clearance for the forms to be completed by January 13, 2022, 
which was the expiration date of Treasury OGCR's six-month general 
applicability public interest adjustment period waiver and therefore 
was the effective date of BABAA requirements for RESTORE Act Direct 
Component program. The Agency was delayed in requesting the clearance 
from OIRA because the required waiver information that must be 
collected by agencies for cross-posting waivers to the GSA-managed Made 
in America Office (MIAO) website was finalized on December 8, 2022. 
Posting waivers on the centralized waiver transparency website is a 
requirement for federal agencies to be compliant with the 
implementation of BABAA. Treasury now seeks clearance through the 
normal 60-day public comment process for clearance under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of the updated information collection as required by 5 
CFR 1320.8(d).
    Treasury has also made substantive changes to the Multiyear 
Implementation Plan Narrative Form through a consolidation of 
application questions to reduce requests for duplicative information 
and revised the requirements of the Milestones and Measures Application 
Form, Milestones Report and Status of Performance Report that reduces 
the burden on the applicant to demonstrate progress made to achieve the 
scope of work. No other changes to the information collection are 
proposed by Treasury at this time.
    The revised application forms and supplemental information may be 
obtained on Treasury's RESTORE Act website at https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-markets-financial-institutions-and-fiscal-service/restore-act.
    Form Number: None.
    Affected Public: State and Local Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 563
    Estimated Time per Response: 11.3 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,340.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
