party to the proceeding. To become a
party, you must intervene in the
proceeding. For instructions on how to
intervene, see below.
Interventions
Any person, which includes
individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,6 has
the option to file a motion to intervene
in this proceeding. Only intervenors
have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this
proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission’s orders in
the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
To intervene, you must submit a
motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 7 and the regulations under
the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is June 11, 2024.
As described further in Rule 214, your
motion to intervene must state, to the
extent known, your position regarding
the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual,
this could include your status as a
landowner, ratepayer, resident of an
impacted community, or recreationist.

notice allows for an additional 30 days

Abstract: The information is collected
from applicants and recipients of EPA
assistance to monitor adherence to the
programmatic and administrative
requirements of the Agency’s financial
assistance program. The information
collected is used to make awards, pay
recipients, and collect information on
how Federal funds are being spent. EPA
needs this information to meet its
Federal stewardship responsibilities.
This ICR renewal requests authorization
for the collection of information under

Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
EPA’s General Regulation for Assistance
Programs, which establishes minimum
management requirements for all
recipients of EPA grants or cooperative
agreements (assistance agreements).
These regulations include only those
provisions mandated by statue or added
by EPA to ensure sound and effective
financial assistance management with
respect to Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) utilization. The
information required by these
regulations will be used by EPA award
officials to make assistance awards and
assistance payments and to verify that
the recipient is using Federal funds
appropriately.
Form numbers: listed in supporting
statement.
Respondents/affected entities: The
primary recipients of EPA assistance
agreements are state and local
governments, Indian Tribes, educational
institutions, and not-for-profit
institutions.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain an assistance
agreement (40 CFR part 30, 40 CFR part
31, and 40 CFR part 33 for awards made
prior to December 26, 2014, and 2 CFR
200, 2 CFR 1500, and 40 CFR part 33 for
awards made after December 26, 2014).
Estimated number of respondents:
9,821(total).
Frequency of response: On occasion,
quarterly, and annually.
Total estimated burden: 302,030
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $19,719,538 (per
year), which includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
increase of 207,424 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase occurred for several
reasons. First, EPA received
unprecedented levels of funding to
award grants under the American
Rescue Plan (ARP), the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Bill (BIL), and the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This led
to a significant increase in number of
grant applications received and awards
made under various EPA grant
programs. EPA also revised its approach
to more accurately estimate the number
of ongoing grant recipients who are
subject to the requirements for record
keeping and submittal of quarterly
progress reports. In addition, EPA
reviewed the burden assumptions in the
ICR to ensure that they reflect the
Agency’s current experiences under its
grant programs. EPA made adjustments
to increase the burden hour estimates

municipalities, and other entities,\6\ has the option to file a motion
