Abstract: Authorized by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. § 3901–3914) and 33 CFR Part 386, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers collects information from entities seeking federal credit assistance for water infrastructure projects. The collection uses a two-step process starting with ENG Form 6176 (Preliminary Application), which evaluates project eligibility, engineering feasibility, and creditworthiness. Selected applicants are then invited to submit ENG Form 6177 (Final Application), which gathers the detailed financial and risk analysis data required to negotiate and finalize the credit agreement. Both applications are completed and submitted securely through the web-based CWIFP application portal.
