Abstract: This supporting statement is for a revision to an existing Information Collection Request (ICR) for four mobile source related grant programs administered by the Transportation and Climate Division (TCD), within Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). These four programs include: Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Grant Program, Clean School Bus (CSB) Grant Program, Clean HeavyDuty Vehicles (CHDV) Grant Program, and Clean Ports Grant Program. The EPA currently uses ICR No. 2060–0754 to collect information for most major elements of grants administration for these programs, but to reflect the final program design and to further ease the burden for applicants, awardees, and Agency staff, the Agency needs to update this ICR to be able to use improved versions of previously approved instruments and collect information via 3 new reporting instruments to reflect final program design. This ICR revision aims to enhance project reporting instruments to ensure that the project reporting templates align with the final program design and requirements and incorporate user feedback received during the application period for the CHDV and Clean Ports Grant Programs. TCD uses approved procedures and forms to collect necessary information to operate its grant programs and has been providing grants under DERA since 2008. EPA launched the 2024 Clean Port Program in late winter 2024, the 2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program in early spring 2024, and the 2024 DERA grant program in summer 2024, and is overseeing the 2023 Clean School Bus Grantees, who began reporting in mid-2024. While these programs each have unique statutory requirements, there are key aspects that unite them as mobile source emissions reduction efforts, and by combining them as a cohort of programs under one ICR, EPA aims to enrich data quality across our programs and to ease burden on applicants and E:\FR\FM\02JAN1.SGM 02JAN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 102 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 1 / Thursday, January 2, 2025 / Notices awardees considering applying for multiple programs and agency staff overseeing multiple programs. Additionally, collecting data via these program-specific, fillable data templates will enhance the Agency’s oversight of these projects as directed by Congress. Further, doing so will also provide critical real-world performance data that the Agency would not otherwise be able to procure, which can inform future research and policy decisions related to OTAQ’s mission to protect human health and the environment by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources and advancing clean fuels and technology. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those interested in applying for grants under EPA’s CSB, DERA, Clean Heavy Duty, and Clean Ports programs and include but are not limited to the following NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes: 23 Construction; 482 Rail Transportation; 483 Water Transportation; 484 Truck Transportation; 485 Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation; 4854 School and Employee Bus Transportation; 48831 Port and Harbor Operations; 61111 Elementary and Secondary Schools; 61131 Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools; 9211 Executive, Legislative, and Other Government Support; and 9221 Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory for grant recipients. Estimated number of respondents: 623 DERA, 267 CSB, 70 CHDV, and 55 Clean Ports Program respondents annually. Frequency of response: Up to 4 annual responses per year the grant is active. Total estimated burden: 9,108 hours per year; 27,323 hours over ICR Period. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $552,072 per year; $1,656,217 over ICR Period which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: This is revision results in a decrease of 38% of the original estimated temporal burden and 33% reduction in the original estimated cost burden.

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of

    Abstract: This supporting statement is for a revision to an 
existing Information Collection Request (ICR) for four mobile source 
related grant programs administered by the Transportation and Climate 
Division (TCD), within Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office 
of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ). These four programs include: 
Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Grant Program, Clean School Bus 
(CSB) Grant Program, Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles (CHDV) Grant Program, 
and Clean Ports Grant Program.
    The EPA currently uses ICR No. 2060-0754 to collect information for 
most major elements of grants administration for these programs, but to 
reflect the final program design and to further ease the burden for 
applicants, awardees, and Agency staff, the Agency needs to update this 
ICR to be able to use improved versions of previously approved 
instruments and collect information via 3 new reporting instruments to 
reflect final program design. This ICR revision aims to enhance project 
reporting instruments to ensure that the project reporting templates 
align with the final program design and requirements and incorporate 
user feedback received during the application period for the CHDV and 
Clean Ports Grant Programs.
    TCD uses approved procedures and forms to collect necessary 
information to operate its grant programs and has been providing grants 
under DERA since 2008. EPA launched the 2024 Clean Port Program in late 
winter 2024, the 2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program in early spring 
2024, and the 2024 DERA grant program in summer 2024, and is overseeing 
the 2023 Clean School Bus Grantees, who began reporting in mid-2024.
    While these programs each have unique statutory requirements, there 
are key aspects that unite them as mobile source emissions reduction 
efforts, and by combining them as a cohort of programs under one ICR, 
EPA aims to enrich data quality across our programs and to ease burden 
on applicants and

awardees considering applying for multiple programs and agency staff 
overseeing multiple programs. Additionally, collecting data via these 
program-specific, fillable data templates will enhance the Agency's 
oversight of these projects as directed by Congress. Further, doing so 
will also provide critical real-world performance data that the Agency 
would not otherwise be able to procure, which can inform future 
research and policy decisions related to OTAQ's mission to protect 
human health and the environment by reducing air pollution and 
greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources and advancing clean fuels 
and technology.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are those interested in applying for grants under EPA's 
CSB, DERA, Clean Heavy Duty, and Clean Ports programs and include but 
are not limited to the following NAICS (North American Industry

Schools; 9211 Executive, Legislative, and Other Government Support; and 
9221 Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory for grant recipients.
    Estimated number of respondents: 623 DERA, 267 CSB, 70 CHDV, and 55 
Clean Ports Program respondents annually.
    Frequency of response: Up to 4 annual responses per year the grant 
is active.
    Total estimated burden: 9,108 hours per year; 27,323 hours over ICR 
Period. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $552,072 per year; $1,656,217 over ICR Period 
which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
