Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 197 / Friday, October 9, 2020 / Notices
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: We issue financial
assistance through grants and
cooperative agreement awards to
individuals; commercial organizations;
institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations; foreign entities;
and State, local, and Tribal
governments. The Service administers a
wide variety of financial assistance
programs, authorized by Congress to
address the Service’s mission, as listed
in the System for Award Management
(SAM) Assistance Listings, previously
referred to as the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance. SAM provides
public descriptions of assistance listings

of Federal programs, projects, services,
and activities that provide assistance or
benefits to the American public. It
contains financial and non-financial
assistance programs administered by
departments and establishments of the
Federal government. The Assistance
Listings are assigned unique numbers
and provide information on program
types, the specific type of assistance for
each program, and the applicable
financial assistance authorities for each
program. See the Service’s active
Assistance Listings on SAM.gov at
https://beta.sam.gov/
search?index=cfda&page=1&
organization_id=100156642.
The Service currently manages the
following types of assistance programs:
• Formula Grants
• Project Grants
• Project Grants (Discretionary)
• Cooperative Agreements
(Discretionary Grants)
• Direct Payments with Unrestricted
Use
• Use of Property, Facilities, and
Equipment
• Provision of Specialized Services
• Advisory Services and Counseling
• Dissemination of Technical
Information
• Training
Some assistance programs are
mandatory and award funds to eligible
recipients according to a formula
prescribed in law or regulation. Other
programs are discretionary and award
funds based on competitive selection
and merit review processes. Mandatory
award recipients must give us specific,
detailed project information during the
application process so that we may
ensure that projects are eligible for the
mandatory funding, are substantial in
character and design, and comply with
all applicable Federal laws. Applicants
to discretionary programs must give us
information as dictated by the program
requirements and as requested in the
notice of funding opportunity (NOFO),
including that information that
addresses ranking criteria. All recipients
must submit financial and performance
reports that contain information
necessary for us to track costs and
accomplishments. The recipients’
reports must adhere to schedules and
rules in 2 CFR part 200, ‘‘Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards.’’ Part 200 prescribes
the information that Federal agencies
must collect, and financial assistance
applicants and recipients must provide
to receive benefits under Federal
financial assistance programs, and
supports this information collection.

The Service provides technical and
financial assistance to other Federal
agencies, States, local governments,
Native American tribes,
nongovernmental organizations, citizen
groups, and private landowners for the
conservation and management of fish
and wildlife resources. The process
begins with the submission of an
application. The respective program
reviews and prioritizes proposed
projects based on their respective
project selection criteria. Pending
availability of funding, applicants can
submit their application documents to
the Service through the Federal
Grants.gov website or through the
Department’s grants management
system (currently the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services’
GrantSolutions), when solicited by the
Service through a Funding Opportunity.
As part of this collection of
information, the Service collects the
following types of information requiring
approval under the PRA:
A. Application Package: We use the
information provided in applications to:
(1) Determine eligibility under the
authorizing legislation and applicable
program regulations; (2) determine
allowability of major cost items under
the Cost Principles at 2 CFR 200; (3)
select those projects that will provide
the highest return on the Federal
investment; and (4) assist in compliance
with laws, as applicable, such as the
National Environmental Policy Act, the
National Historic Preservation Act, and
the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970. The full application package
(submitted by the applicant) generally
includes the following:
• Required Federal financial
assistance application forms (SF–424
suite of forms, as applicable to specified
project).
• Project Narrative—generally
includes items such as:
Æ Statement of need,
Æ Project goals and objectives,
Æ Methods used and timetable,
Æ Description of key personnel
qualifications,
Æ Description of stakeholders or other
relevant organizations/individuals
involved and level of involvement,
Æ Project monitoring and evaluation
plan, and/or
Æ Other pertinent project specific
information.
• Pertinent project budget-related
information—generally includes items
such as:
Æ Budget justification,
Æ Indirect cost statement,
Æ Federally-funded equipment list,
and/or

Æ Certifications and disclosures.
B. Amendments: Recipients must
provide written explanation and submit
prior approval requests for budget or
project plan revisions, reporting due
date extensions, or other changes to
approved award terms and conditions.
The information provided by the
recipient is used by the Service to
determine the eligibility and
allowability of activities and to comply
with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.
C. Reporting Requirements: Reporting
requirements associated with financial
assistance awards generally include the
following types of reports:
• Federal Financial Reports,
• Performance reports, and
• Real Property Status Reports, when
applicable.
D. Recordkeeping Requirements: In
accordance with 2 CFR 200.333,
financial records, supporting
documents, statistical records, and all
other non-Federal entity records
pertinent to a Federal award must be
retained for a period of 3 years after the
date of submission of the final
expenditure report or, for Federal
awards that are renewed quarterly or
annually, from the date of the
submission of the quarterly or annual
financial report, respectively, as
reported to the Federal awarding agency
or pass-through entity (in the case of a
subrecipient) (unless an exemption as
described in 200.333 applies that
requires retention of records longer than
3 years).
Proposed Revisions
Consolidation of OMB Control No.
1018–0007 into 1018–0100
The Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669 et seq.)
and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish
Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 777 et seq.,
except 777e–1) provide authority for
Federal assistance to the States for
management and restoration of fish and
wildlife. These Acts and the regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 50 CFR 80, subpart D, require
that States, territories, and the District of
Columbia annually certify their hunting
and fishing license sales. The Service’s
Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
(WSFR) program currently collects those
certifications under OMB Control No.
1018–0007, ‘‘Annual Certification of
Hunting and Sport Fishing Licenses
Issued, 50 CFR 80, Subpart D.’’ The
WSFR program continues to enhance
use of their ‘‘Wildlife Tracking and
Reporting Actions for the Conservation
of Species (TRACS)’’ system to collect
information electronically from
financial assistance applicants and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:26 Oct 08, 2020

Jkt 253001

recipients. As of Federal fiscal year
2021, WSFR will begin using TRACS to
collect State license data and
certifications electronically. As this
control number includes the Wildlife
TRACS system collection, in this
revision we are consolidating the OMB
Control No. 1018–0007 information
collection requirements into this
collection. If OMB approves this
request, we will discontinue OMB
Control Number 1018–0007.
Consolidation of OMB approvals for
Service financial assistance-related
collections into a single collection
reduces burden on the public by
ensuring consistency in the application
and award administration processes
across all Service financial assistance
programs.
Foreign Aid Transparency and
Accountability Act Compliance
We have begun implementation of the
enhanced results-oriented
accountability requirements in the
Foreign Aid Transparency and
Accountability Act (Pub. L. 114–191),
OMB guidance memorandum M–18–04,
‘‘Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines
for Federal Departments and Agencies
that Administer United States Foreign
Assistance,’’ and OMB revisions to 2
CFR part 200 published August 13, 2020
(85 FR 49506). To meet the enhanced
requirements, some programs may
collect more performance information
than previously collected.
Title of Collection: Administrative
Procedures for U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service Financial Assistance Programs.
OMB Control Number: 1018–0100.
