SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Innovative Finance and Equal Access for Over the Road
Busses.
Abstract for Innovative Finance: The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), Office of Operations and Office of the Chief Financial Officer,
jointly collects information related to State Infrastructure Banks
(SIB), Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicles, and Toll Credits. This
information is published on FHWA's public websites to monitor activity
in each innovative finance program. This information satisfies the
requirement under 23 U.S.C. 610(g)(7) for each SIB to make an annual
report to the Secretary on its status no later than September 30 of
each year and such other reports as the Secretary may require. The data
will also satisfy new requirements under section 11503 of the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58,
effective November 15, 2021, requiring the Secretary to make available
a publicly accessible website on which States shall post the amount of
toll credits that are available for sale or transfer.
The data includes activity, volume, and balances. The data is
published annually on the Center for Innovative Finance's website.
Information from this collection is used for the proper stewardship and
oversight of each program, as well as compliance with each program's
Federal statute.
Abstract for Equal Access for Over the Road Busses: Section 11523
of the recently enacted Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted as
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58 (Nov. 15,
2021) amended 23 U.S.C. 129 to add reporting requirements to the equal
access provisions for over the road busses. Specifically, not later
than 90 days after the date of enactment of the BIL, a public authority
that operates a toll facility shall report to the Secretary any rates,
terms, or conditions for access to the toll facility by public
transportation vehicles that differ from the rates, terms, or
conditions applicable to over-the-road buses.
Further, a public authority that operates a toll facility shall
report to the Secretary any change to the rates, terms, or conditions
for access to the toll facility by public transportation vehicles that
differ from the rates, terms, or conditions applicable to over-the-road
buses by not later than 30 days after the date on which the change
takes effect.
Respondents: State governments of the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the
Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands share this burden.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated average
reporting burden per response for the annual collection and processing
of the data is 149 hours for each of the States (including local
governments), the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin
Islands.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The estimated total annual burden
for all respondents is 8,195 hours.
Public Comments Invited

collections, including: (1) Whether the proposed
