SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Application, Reports, Post-Award Actions, and Recordkeeping 
for the Direct Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants 
Program under the RESTORE Act.
    OMB Control Number: 1505-0250.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Description: The Department of the Treasury administers the Direct 
Component and the Centers of Excellence Research Grants Program 
authorized under the RESTORE Act. Treasury awards grants for these two 
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 identify 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; provides for 
approvals of post-award actions; and reports on the effectiveness of 
the programs. Treasury's transition in Fiscal Year 23 of both RESTORE 
Act programs to a new online grants management system will provide the 
benefit of conversion to more interactive forms, like web-based forms 
or editable PDFs. The collection has been updated to provide for this 
transition.
    Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 48.
    Estimated Annual Responses: 498.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,979.
    Estimated Total Cost: $298,950.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
