Information Collection Request for the BEACH Act Grant Program Submitted to OMB
On June 27, 2005, EPA announced in the Federal Register (70 FR 36935) that we submitted the ICR for the BEACH Act grant program to OMB for review. EPA collects certain information from grant recipients as a condition of the grants, and this ICR is EPA's estimate of the cost of reporting the information to EPA.
