HRSA is requesting extension of the approval for the Environmental
Information and Documentation (EID) checklist which consists of
information that the agency is required to obtain to comply with the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). NEPA establishes the

HRSA has developed the EID for applicants of funding that would
potentially impact the environment and to ensure that their decision-
making processes are consistent with NEPA. Applicants must provide
information and assurance of compliance with NEPA on the EID checklist.
The estimated annual burden is as follows:
