(EPA’s) and the Administration’s
commitment to achieving
environmental justice and embedding
environmental justice into Agency
programs, EPA released the Thriving
Communities Grantmaking Program
(TCGM) funding opportunity. The
Thriving Communities Grantmaking
program is a reimagining of the longstanding Environmental Justice (EJ)
Small Grants Program specifically
designed to address the needs of
underserved communities and
marginalized groups through the
provision of direct funding. Historically,
the Agency has managed the EJ Small
Grants directly, moving forward EPA
plans to award 11+ cooperative
agreement(s) to pass-through entities
(referred to as Grantmakers) in
collaboration with EPA to design and
build their own processes to receive and
evaluate competitive community project
applications. This competitive
subawards program called EJ Thriving
Communities Subgrants will fund the
initial development of community led
environmental justice projects. The
pass-through model removes the
requirement of applying through the
federal grants process and decreases the
amount of time it takes to award federal
funds. With this Information Collection
Request (ICR), EPA seeks authorization
to collect information to track progress
made by the 11+ Grantmakers and their
partnerships. Collection of this
information enables EPA to assess and
manage the TCGM Program, which
ensures responsible stewardship of
public funds; rigorous evidence-based
learning and improvement; and
transparent accountability to the
American public. This ICR also requests
authorization for the Grantmakers to
collect input and insights from
communities who seek to obtain
subawards via the Thriving
Communities Subgrant program, as well
as stakeholders who have valuable
experience and expertise in community
engagement and empowerment. These
information collections will enable the
Grantmakers and their partners to
document local priorities, needs, and
norms to ensure that they develop
useful and relevant outreach efforts and
subgrant opportunities regionally and
nationwide. Feedback about the
accessibility and effectiveness of the
subgrant opportunities will enable the
Grantmakers to conduct selfassessments of their work and identify
best practices and areas for
improvement. Furthermore, each
Grantmaker will offer specific
application standards for a competitive
community application for subaward

funding. Lastly, this ICR requests
authorization for the Grantmakers to
collect information from subrecipients,
in order to track progress made in their
funded projects.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: To be
determined.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory for grant recipients as per
reporting requirements included in EPA
regulations 2 CFR parts 200 and 1500,
and voluntary for public outreach
information collections via surveys and
focus groups.
Estimated number of respondents: To
be determined. This data will be
available for the next public review
period.
Frequency of response: To be
determined. This data will be available
for the next public review period.
Total estimated burden: To be
determined. This data will be available
for the next public review period.
Total estimated cost: To be
determined. This data will be available
for the next public review period.
Changes in the Estimates: This is a
new collection; therefore there is no
change in burden.

Records
Federal Labor Relations
Authority.
ACTION: Notice of a new system of
records.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Labor
Relations Authority (FLRA) is issuing
public notice of an intent to introduce
a new system of records entitled,
‘‘Privacy Act Requests and Appeals.’’
This notice publishes details of the new
system as set forth below.
DATES: This notice action shall be
applicable immediately, which will
become effective February 7, 2024.
Comments will be accepted on or
before: February 7, 2024.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,

subject line of the message.
Mail: Thomas Tso, Senior Agency
Official for Privacy, Federal Labor
Relations Authority, 1400 K Street NW,
Washington, DC 20424–0001.
Instructions: Do not mail written
comments if they have been submitted
via email. Interested persons who mail
written comments must submit an
original and 4 copies of each written
comment, with any enclosures, on 81⁄2

comments by hand.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have any questions, please contact
Thomas Tso, Solicitor, Senior Agency
Official for Privacy, at (771) 444–5779.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Privacy Act of 1974 requires that each
agency publish notice of all the systems
of records that it maintains. This
document proposes the introduction of
a new system of records. The ‘‘Freedom
of Information Act Request and Appeal
Files’’ is the system that the FLRA uses
to provide the public with a single
location to submit and track Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and related
requests and appeals filed with the
FLRA. The FLRA had used this single
system to track Privacy Act requests,
which are often combined with FOIA
requests, see 82 FR 49813 (October 27,
2017). Other agencies have also treated
Privacy Act and FOIA requests as a
singular system of records. E.g.,
Department of Treasury, Freedom of
Information Act/Privacy Act Request
Records, 81 FR 78266 (Nov. 7, 2016).
The FLRA now proposes a new
system of records, titled ‘‘Privacy Act
Requests and Appeals,’’ to separate
Privacy Act request records as an
independent system of records.
Pursuant to the Creating Advanced
Streamlined Electronic Services for
Constituents Act of 2019 (‘‘CASES
Act’’), Public Law 116–50, 133 Stat.
1073 (2019), the Office of Management
and Budget’s M–21–04, ‘‘Modernizing
Access to and Consent for Disclosure of
Records Subject to the Privacy Act,’’
asks agencies to ‘‘provide a digital
service option to ensure that individuals
have the ability to digitally request
access to or consent to disclosure of
their records’’ covered by the Privacy
Act. M–21–04 also asks agencies to
‘‘review SORNs governing systems of
records that include Privacy Act
requests for access to and consent to
disclosure of records, and, if necessary,
modify those SORNs, as well.’’ The
FLRA determined that a separate system
