The information collection activities will occur primarily at the program-level through the State Capitalization Grant Agreement/Intended Use Plan and Annual Report. The information on the Intended Use Plan (IUP) is needed annually to describe how the state intends to use available State Revolving Fund (SRF) funds for the year to meet the objectives of the Clean Water Act (CWA) or Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and to further the goal of protecting public health. The Annual Report is needed to provide detailed information on how the state has met its goals and objectives of the previous fiscal year as stated in the IUP and Grant Agreement. The CWA and SDWA require this information to ensure the national accountability, adequate public review and comment, fiscal integrity, and consistent management needed to achieve public health and statutory compliance objectives.
There is a total decrease of 16,958 hours in the average annual total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the end of supplemental capitalization grants appropriated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to both SRF programs after Fiscal Year 2026.
