    Abstract: This notice announces the collection of information 
related to the U.S. EPA National Environmental Information Exchange 
Network (NEIEN) Grant Program. EPA proposes to collect information from 
the NEIEN grantees on assistance agreements EPA has awarded. 
Specifically, for each project, EPA proposes to have grantees submit 
semi-annual reports on the progress and current status of each goal and 
output, completion dates for outputs, and any problems encountered. 
This information will help EPA ensure projects are on schedule to meet 
their goals and produce high quality environmental outputs. New award 
recipients will complete one Quality Assurance Reporting Form for each 
award. This form provides a simple means for grant recipients to 
describe how quality will be addressed throughout their projects. 
Additionally, the Quality Assurance Reporting Form is derived from 
guidelines provided in the NEIEN 2011 Grant Solicitation Notice.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 5300-26 (Semi-Annual Progress Report Form) 
and EPA Form 5300-27 (Quality Assurance Reporting Form).

[[Page 22518]]

    Respondents/affected entities: State, tribal, and territorial 
environmental government offices.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (2 CFR part 200 and 2 
CFR part 1500).
    Estimated number of respondents: 200 (total).
    Frequency of response: Twice per year for the Semi-Annual Progress 
Report Form; one time per grant for the Quality Assurance Reporting 
Form.
    Total estimated burden: 340 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $17,979 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 5 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
grants that are awarded annually.
