Abstract: This is a request for a renewal of an existing Information Collection Request (ICR) due to expire on April 30, 2009. This ICR authorizes the collection of information under EPA's General Regulation for Assistance Programs that establishes the minimum management requirements for all recipients of EPA grants or cooperative agreements (assistance agreements). 40 CFR Part 30, "Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations," establishes the management requirements for institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations, as well as procurement requirements for non-governmental recipients. 40 CFR Part 31, "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments," includes the management requirements for States, local governments, and Indian Tribal governments. These regulations include only those provisions mandated by statute, required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars, or added by EPA to ensure sound and effective financial assistance management. In addition, under Executive Orders 11625, 12138, and 12432, EPA is required to promote and report on programs to assist minority and women-owned enterprises. Under P.L. 101-507 and P.L. 102-389, EPA is required to set aside funds for socially and disadvantaged individuals/firms under the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 537(a) (5) and (6). This ICR combines all of these requirements under OMB Control Number 2030-0020. EPA award officials will use the information required by these regulations to make assistance awards, to make assistance payments, and to verify that the recipient is using Federal funds appropriately to comply with Federal requirements.
