    Abstract: HRSA is requesting extension of the approval for the 
Environmental Information and Documentation (EID) checklist which 
consists of information that the agency is required to obtain to comply 
with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). NEPA 
establishes the federal government's national policy for protection of 
the environment. HRSA has developed the EID for applicants of funding 
that would potentially impact the environment and to ensure that their 
decision-making processes are consistent with NEPA.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Applicants must provide 
information and assurance of compliance with NEPA on the EID checklist; 
this information is reviewed in the pre-award stage.
    Likely Respondents: HRSA applicants applying for federal 
construction grants and cooperative agreements.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
