The information requested under this ICR will be collected via performance report forms, including work plans, interim reports, and final reports. *Form numbers:* None. *Respondents/affected entities:* Recipients of financial assistance awards from EPA. *Respondent's obligation to respond:* Mandatory for grant recipients as per reporting requirements included in EPA regulations 2 CFR parts 200 and 1500. *Estimated number of respondents:* 2,662 (per year). *Frequency of response:* Varies. *Total estimated burden:* 87,088 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). *Total estimated cost:* $7,071,495.82 (per year), there are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. *Changes in the estimates:* This is a new collection, and so does not involve any program changes or burden adjustments.
