SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Temporary Waivers of 49 CFR part 24 Regulatory Requirements.
Background: As Lead Agency for the Uniform Relocation Assistance
and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act), the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) may issue temporary waivers of specific
non-statutory regulatory requirements of 49 CFR part 24 under section
24.7 for its Federal-aid programs. A section 24.7 waiver is needed when
programmatic circumstances in a State or on a nationwide basis require
alternate procedures be allowed to meet program needs for relocating
persons displaced as part of a highway project.
The requests for waiver of some regulatory requirements of 49 CFR
part 24 are infrequent, for good cause and occur on a case by case
basis to address programmatic or project related nuances or
circumstances. The temporary waiver of specific 49 CFR part 24 non-
statutory regulatory requirements by FHWA ensures that displaced
persons receive the relocation assistance necessary to move to and
occupy replacement housing or for a nonresidential displaced person to
move to a replacement location.
Use of temporary waivers of specific 49 CFR part 24 regulatory
requirements by a State Department of Transportation (SDOT) are
voluntary, and requests to implement alternate procedures in accordance
with such temporary waivers of specific 49 CFR part 24 regulatory
requirements are granted on either a programmatic or case by case
project basis as approved by FHWA.
The nominal amount of information the SDOT obtains as part of its
use of the temporary waiver is readily available from sources used as
part of their normal relocation work, and without cost to the displaced
person or the SDOT. The information is used to document the
determination of benefit amounts made by the SDOT to make the monetary
needs for successful relocation of a displaced person within their
financial means.
Respondents: 52.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 780.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
Issued On: April 22, 2022.

Information Collection Officer.
