    Abstract: The Department of the Treasury administers the Direct 
Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program

programs from proceeds in connection with administrative and civil 
penalties paid after July 6, 2012, under the Federal Water Pollution 
Control Act relating to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, and deposited 
into the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund. Direct Component grants are 
awarded to the States of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, 
and 23 Florida counties and 20 Louisiana parishes and Centers of 
Excellence grants are awarded to the States of Alabama, Florida, 
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The information collection for both 
programs identifies the eligible recipients; describes proposed 
activities; determines an appropriate amount of funding; ensures 
compliance with the RESTORE Act, Treasury's regulations, and Federal 
laws and policies on grants; tracks grantee progress; and reports on 
the effectiveness of the programs.
    Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,142.
