by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, the Federal Aid in 
Sport Fish Restoration Act, the Anadromous Fish Conservation Act, the 
Endangered Species Act and the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection 
and Restoration Act. The Service uses the information collected to make 
awards, including determining if the estimated cost is reasonable, the 
cost sharing is consistent with the applicable program statutes, and 
whether sufficient Federal funds are available for obligation. The 
State uses the forms to request funds and identify proposed cost 
sharing. An amendment to the Grant Agreement is initiated by the 
grantee (State) to request a change to a previously approved Grant 
Agreement. The information is used to revise a previous funding 
obligation or document the approval of revisions requested.

to Grant Agreement).
    Frequency: Annually.
    Description of Respondents: State and Territorial governments.

each form per respondent.

Territorial governments will submit an average of 26 grant agreements 
and/or amendments and that \1/2\ of such grants will be amended.)
    Annual Burden House: 1,456.
