SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program.
Background: The Department of Transportation's Office of the
Secretary and the Federal Highway Administration are committed to a
comprehensive strategy to address the unacceptable number of traffic
deaths and serious injuries occurring on our roads and streets. The
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Section 24112 aligns with the
Department's safety priority through the creation of the Safe Streets
and Roads for All Grant Program. This grant program supports local
initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets.
This grant program is for Metropolitan Planning Organizations,
political sub-divisions of a State, federally recognized Tribal
governments and multijurisdictional groups of the entities comprised
above.
This grant program includes both grant funds to develop a
comprehensive safety action plan; to conduct planning, design and
development activities for projects and strategies identified in a
comprehensive action plan or to carry out projects and strategies
identified in a comprehensive action plan. To receive applications for
grant funds, evaluate the effectiveness of projects that have been
awarded grant fund and to monitor project financial conditions and
project progress, a collection of information is necessary.
Eligible applicants will request grant funds in the form of a grant
application. This grant application will assist in soliciting proposals
for funding from eligible applicants. In addition, reporting
requirements will be submitted by grant recipients during the grant
agreement, implementation, and evaluation phases.
Responding to the grant opportunity is on a voluntary-response
basis, utilizing an electronic grant platform. The grant application is
planned as a one-time information collection and OST/FHWA estimates
that the application will take approximately 20 hours to complete an
application for a comprehensive action plan grant and approximately 100
hours to complete an application for a implementation grant.
Respondents: Metropolitan planning organizations, political
subdivisions of a State, federally recognized Tribal
[[Page 25077]]
governments and multijurisdictional groups of entities comprised above.
Frequency: Once each year.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 20 hours for
the comprehensive action plan grants and 100 hours for the
implementation grants per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Approximately 120 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FHWA's performance; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
