Abstract:
This information collection is needed for FSA to identify eligible States for blender pump funding to encourage increased ethanol use. FSA requires each State to submit an application to FSA on a form specified by FSA. States will be required to report on the funding distribution, which may require third party reporting depending on how the States distribute the funds.
Emergency Justfication:
This request is for OMB review and emergency approval of a collection of information necessary for a Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership (BIP) Grants to States. FSA is expected to publish the Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) in the Federal Register on or around June 10, 2015. FSA is expecting to have the grantees to submit applications no later than July 10, 2015. Therefore, we are requesting emergency approval of the new information collection package no later than June 10, 2015. In NOFA, FSA is requesting comments on the information collection request of BIP in order to submit the regular request to get a three-year approval from OMB after receiving the 6-month OMB emergency approval.
