SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Planning and Research Program Administration.
OMB Control #: 2125-0039.
Background: Under the provisions of Title 23, United States Code,
Section 505, 2 percent of Federal-aid highway funds in certain
categories that are
[[Page 37547]]
apportioned to the States are set aside to be used only for State
Planning and Research (SPR). At least 25 percent of the SPR funds
apportioned annually must be used for research, development, and
technology transfer activities. In accordance with government-wide
grant management procedures, a grant application must be submitted for
these funds. In addition, recipients must submit periodic progress and
financial reports. In lieu of Standard Form 424, Application for
Federal Assistance, the FHWA uses a work program as the grant
application. The information contained in the work program includes
task descriptions, assignments of responsibility for conducting the
work effort, and estimated costs for the tasks. This information is
necessary to determine how FHWA planning and research funds will be
utilized by the State Transportation Departments and if the proposed
work is eligible for Federal participation. The content and frequency
of submission of progress and financial reports specified in 23 CFR
part 420 are specified in OMB Circular A-102 and the companion common
grant management regulations.
Respondents: 52 State Transportation Departments, including the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Annual.
Estimated Average Annual Burden per Response: 560 hours per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 29,120 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the U.S. DOT's performance,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of the U.S. DOT's estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (3) ways 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.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
Issued On: June 17, 2022.
