report, including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you
receive a multiyear award, you must
submit an annual performance report
that provides the most current
performance and financial expenditure
information as directed by the Secretary
under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary
may also require more frequent
performance reports under 34 CFR
75.720(c). For specific requirements on
reporting, please go to www.ed.gov/
fund/grant/apply/appforms/
appforms.html.
5. Performance Measures: The
Secretary has established the following
key performance measures for assessing
the effectiveness of the NASNTI
Program:
(a). The percentage of first-time, full-
time degree-seeking undergraduate
students at four-year NASNTIs who
were in their first year of postsecondary
enrollment in the previous year and are
enrolled in the current year at the same
NASNTI;
(b). The percentage of first-time, full-
time degree-seeking undergraduate
students at two-year NASNTIs who
were in their first year of postsecondary
enrollment in the previous year and are
enrolled in the current year at the same
NASNTI;
(c). The percentage of first-time, full-
time degree-seeking undergraduate
students enrolled at four-year NASNTIs
who graduate within six years of
enrollment; and
(d). The percentage of first-time, full-
time degree-seeking undergraduate
students enrolled at two-year NASNTIs
who graduate within three years of
enrollment.
6. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: Whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

approval of a new collection. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor and
a person is not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
EPA is soliciting comments and
information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. The EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the
EPA will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The purpose of this
information collection is to identify the
infrastructure needs of public water
systems for the 20-year period from
January 2020 through December 2039.
The EPA’s Office of Ground Water and
Drinking Water will collect these data to
comply with sections 1452(h) and
1452(i)(4) of the Safe Drinking Water
Act (42 U.S.C. 300j–12). This data
collection effort will include the 2020
State DWINSA and the 2020 Native
American DWINSA. For the State
DWINSA, the EPA will collect the 20-
year need for systems that are in all 50
states, the U.S. territories (Guam, U.S.
Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana
Islands, and American Samoa), Puerto
Rico, and the District of Columbia. The
EPA will use a questionnaire to collect
capital investment need information
from selected community water systems
(CWSs) and not-for-profit
noncommunity water systems
(NPNCWSs). The EPA will collect data
from NPNCWSs serving 10,000 or fewer
persons and small CWSs serving 3,300
or fewer persons through site visits. For
the Native American DWINSA, the EPA
will survey selected American Indian
and Alaska Native Village CWSs and
NPNCWSs. These systems will receive
the same data collection instrument as
the systems selected for the 2020 State
DWINSA, except that American Indian
and Alaska Native Village water systems
will not receive questions related to
American Iron and Steel because those
requirements do not apply to these
systems. Participation in the survey is
voluntary. The data from the
questionnaires will provide the EPA
with new information from the field to
assist in the 2020 update to the
Agency’s assessment of the nationwide
infrastructure needs of public water
systems. As mandated by section
1452(a)(1)(D)(ii) of the Safe Drinking
Water Act, the EPA uses the results of
the latest survey to allocate Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
monies among states, territories, the
EPA Regions (for direct implementation
programs), and the Navajo Nation.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: The
respondents for the 2020 Drinking
Water Infrastructure Needs Survey and
Assessment are CWSs, NPNCWSs, state
agencies, the EPA Regions, and the
Navajo Nation.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
3,969 (total).
Frequency of response: One time.
Total estimated burden: 14,510 hours
(average per year over three years).
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $734,686
(average per year over three years),
includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: This ICR does
not modify an existing ICR. An ICR was
prepared for the previous survey effort
done in 2015, which is outside of the 3-
year window for modifying an existing
ICR for a new effort. For purposes of this
reinstatement, the EPA has provided a
