government benefit, you may need to
provide the government agency with
documents that show you are a TPS
beneficiary and/or show you are
authorized to work based on TPS.
Examples are:
(1) Your unexpired EAD;
(2) A copy of your Application for
Temporary Protected Status Notice of
Action (Form I–797) for this reregistration; and/or
(3) A copy of your past or current
Application for Temporary Protected
Status Approval Notice (Form I–797), if
you received one from USCIS.
Check with the government agency
regarding which document(s) the agency
will accept. You may also provide the
agency with a copy of this Federal
Register Notice.
Some benefit-granting agencies use
the USCIS Systematic Alien Verification
for Entitlements Program (SAVE) to
verify the current immigration status of
applicants for public benefits. If such an
agency has denied your application
based solely or in part on a SAVE
response, the agency must offer you the
opportunity to appeal the decision in
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE
verification and you do not believe the
response is correct, you may make an
InfoPass appointment for an in-person
interview at a local USCIS office.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 104 / Monday, June 1, 2015 / Notices

Authorities and implementing
regulations establish the purposes of the
grant programs and the types of projects
to be funded. Some list eligibility
criteria as well as activities ineligible for
funding. The authorities and
implementing regulations for the
competitive programs establish
preferences or ranking factors for the
selection of projects to be funded. These
legal requirements make it essential for
an awarding agency to have certain
information so that it funds only eligible
projects, and, in the case of competitive
programs, to select those projects that
will result in the greatest return on the
Federal investment.
Some grants are mandatory and
receive funds according to a formula set
by law or policy. Other grants are
discretionary, and we award them based
on a competitive process. Mandatory
grant recipients must give us specific,
detailed project information during the
application process so that we can
ensure that projects are eligible for the
mandatory funding, are substantial in
character and design, and comply with
all applicable Federal laws. All grantees
must submit financial and performance
reports that contain information
necessary for us to track costs and
accomplishments.
In February 2014, OMB approved our
request to use a new electronic system
(Wildlife Tracking and Reporting
Actions for the Conservation of Species
(Wildlife TRACS)) to collect application
and performance reporting information
on our grant programs. OMB assigned
OMB Control No. 1018–0156, which
expires February 28, 2017. Wildlife
TRACS allows us to take advantage of
newer technology and gives applicants
direct access to enter project
information that can be used to submit
an application through http://
www.grants.gov. Grantees can also
report performance accomplishments in
Wildlife TRACS. We are including the
use of Wildlife TRACS and the
collection of additional information in
this revision to OMB Control No. 1018–
0109. If OMB approves this revision, we
will discontinue OMB Control No.
1018–0156.
We may require all States to directly
enter project information and
performance reporting into Wildlife
TRACS by October 1, 2016. We continue
to offer training and support to States on
entering information into the new
system. When States fully engage in

directly entering all application and
project performance reporting into
Wildlife TRACS, we expect there will be
a reduction in the burden to report the
information. States will become more
adept with experience, and efficiencies
of the electronic system will be realized
starting in the second full year of use.
A majority of WSFR-administered
projects are continuations of similar
actions and/or at the same locations.
Wildlife TRACS is designed to ease the
administrative burden of applying for
and reporting on grants for projects that
fall into these parameters. The table
below reflects the burden reduction that
we expect over the next 3 years. Not all
grantees will directly enter information
into Wildlife TRACS. We will enter
information when we determine the
grantee or the program is such that it is
not efficient or in the best interest of the
program to have grantees enter
information.
To apply for financial assistance
funds, you must submit an application
that describes in substantial detail
project locations, benefits, funding, and
other characteristics. Materials to assist
applicants in formulating project
proposals are available on Grants.gov.
We use the application to determine:
• Eligibility.
• Scale of resource values or relative
worth of the project.
• If associated costs are reasonable
and allowable.
• Potential effect of the project on
environmental and cultural resources.
• How well the proposed project will
meet the purposes of the program’s
establishing legislation.
• If the proposed project is
substantial in character and design.
• For competitive programs, how the
proposed project addresses ranking
criteria.
Persons or entities receiving grants
must submit periodic performance
reports that contain information
necessary for us to track costs and
accomplishments.
In addition to the information
currently collected under OMB Control
No. 1018–0109, we will collect the
following additional information
currently approved under OMB Control
No. 1018–0156:
For mandatory grant program
applications and amendments:
• Geospatial entry of project location.
• Project status (active, completed,
etc.).
