SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Corps Water Infrastructure 
Financing Program (CWIFP) Preliminary Application; OMB Control Number 
0710-XXXX.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 15.
    Average Burden per Response: 50 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 750.
    Needs and Uses: The Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act 
of 2014 (WIFIA, see also at 33 U.S.C. 3901-3914) authorizes entities 
such as corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, state 
infrastructure financing authorities, and federal, tribal, state or 
local government entities are eligible to receive federal credit 
assistance. The Preliminary Application collection requirement is 
necessary to (1) validate the eligibility of the prospective borrower 
and the proposed project, (2) perform a preliminary creditworthiness 
assessment, (3) perform a preliminary engineering and environmental 
feasibility assessment, and (4) evaluate the project against the 
selection criteria. Based on evaluation of the Preliminary Application, 
USACE will invite prospective borrowers to submit an application for 
projects likely to proceed to closing. Only five applicants are 
expected to move forward with the application process, and thus the 
Application is not subject to the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act and not included in this information collection proposal.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Private 
Sector; Federal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Vlad Dorjets.
