the public health emergency with
respect to the Coronavirus Disease
(COVID–19).
The current information collection is
being used to solicit information related
to:
• Annual performance reports
submitted by CPF recipients that are
States, Territories, or freely associated
states. This report is being renewed
without changes;
• Quarterly project and expenditure
reports submitted by CPF recipients that
are States, Territories, or freely
associated states. The requirements for
this report are being amended as
described below; and
• Annual project and expenditure
reports submitted by CPF recipients that
are Tribal governments. The
requirements for this report are being
amended as described below.
The Compliance and Reporting
Guidance for States, Territories, and
Freely Associated States, and the
Compliance and Reporting Guidance for
Tribal Governments provide recipients
with information needed to fulfill their
reporting requirements and compliance
obligations. Data is submitted to
Treasury using a web-based portal and
in accordance with specific data
requirements.
Project and expenditure reports must
be submitted quarterly for the duration
of the period of performance for States,
Territories, and freely associated states,
and annually for the duration of the
period of performance for Tribal
governments. The project and
expenditure report contains a set of
standardized questions to ascertain the
recipient’s use of funds received as of
the date of reporting, as well as the
status of individual projects. Treasury
will make the data submitted by
recipients publicly available.
Performance reports must be
submitted annually for recipients that
are States, Territories, and freely
associated states for the duration of the
period of performance. These
performance reports contain detailed
performance data corresponding to the
‘‘Programs’’ specified previously in a
recipient’s Grant Plan. This will include
information on efforts to improve equity
and engage communities. The
performance report is largely freely
written text, and while there are certain
data and topics that recipients must
cover in the performance report, it is
mostly free-form written content.
Recipients are required to publish the
performance report on their website and
provide the reports to Treasury.
Proposed Changes: On June 2, 2023,
Treasury received approval for a
revision to this information collection

on an emergency processing basis.
Treasury presently seeks non-emergency
approval for the same revision in
accordance with normal PRA clearance
procedures. The revision is to add two
new fields for recipients to report on
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) identifiers in order to uniquely
identify the precise location of CPF
funded broadband projects. The revision
is the same for States, Territories, Freely
Associated States, and Tribal recipients.
Treasury expects that recipients have
these FCC identifiers on-hand, and the
estimated burden remains unchanged.
1. Provider ID. The Provider ID is the
identifier that the FCC assigns to every
internet Service Provider (ISP). Any
entity undertaking a broadband
infrastructure project already has this
number.
2. Fabric ID. The Fabric ID is assigned
to every ‘‘broadband serviceable
location’’ in the ‘‘fabric’’, a database of
all serviceable locations. For example,
an apartment building which is
broadband serviceable will have a
unique Fabric ID assigned by the FCC.
CPF recipients who are completing
broadband projects are required to
provide the Fabric IDs for the locations
that they are serving.
Background Justifying the Changes.
Section 60105 of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–
58) required the FCC to establish an
online mapping tool with broadband
locations funded by Federal agencies.
As a result, CPF reporting guidance has
been updated.
Form: Compliance and Reporting
Guidance for States, Territories, and
Freely Associated States; Compliance
and Reporting Guidance for Tribal
Governments.
Affected Public: State, Territorial,
Freely Associated State, and Tribal
governments receiving CPF grant funds.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
609.
Frequency of Response: States,
Territories, and freely associated states:
4 times per year for project and
expenditure reports, and 1 time per year
for performance reports; Tribal
governments: 1 time per year.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: 845.
Estimated Time per Response: 62
hours for State project and expenditure
reports. 80 hours for State performance
reports. 50 hours for Tribal annual
reports.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 30,352.
