Abstract: This ICR covers the
collection of information from those
organizations that receive grants
funding from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under the
authority of section 134 of the Clean Air
Act (CAA). CAA 134 was enacted as
part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
and authorizes EPA to make competitive
grants to states, municipalities, Tribal
governments, and eligible non-profit
recipients to implement the Greenhouse
Gas Reduction Fund, a historic $27
billion investment to combat the climate
crisis by mobilizing financing and
private capital for greenhouse gas- and
air pollution-reducing projects in
communities across the country. Within
the GGRF, EPA designed three
programs; the National Clean
Investment Fund (NCIF), Clean
Communities Investment Accelerator
(CCIA), and Solar for All (SFA). This
ICR covers the collection of information
under awards for all three programs.
EPA will use information from these
reports as part of program-wide public
reporting, except to the extent such
information includes CBI or PII
pursuant to 2 CFR 200.338. Information
claimed as CBI in accordance with this
Notice will be disclosed only to the
extent, and by means of the procedures,
set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Recipients of grants funding from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
under the authority of section 134 of the
Clean Air Act (CAA). CAA 134 was
enacted as part of the Inflation
Reduction Act (IRA) and authorizes EPA
to make competitive grants to states,
municipalities, Tribal governments, and
eligible non-profit recipients to
implement the Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Fund.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
required to obtain or retain a benefit
under section 134 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA).
Estimated number of respondents:
NCIF: 3, CCIA: 3, SFA: 60, Subrecipients: 25 (93 total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly,
semi-annually, annually, or one-time
response, depending on instrument and
respondent.
Total estimated burden: 560,131
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $37,450,170 (per
year), which includes $8,859,143
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service

improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: the target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
The Agency received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register of May 24, 2024

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
All written comments will be
available for public inspection

An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
