with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the DOT provides notice that
it will submit an information collection requests (ICR) to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency approval of a proposed

emergency approval by OMB, the Office of the Secretary (OST) will
follow the normal PRA procedures to obtain extended approval for this
proposed information collection. This collection involves applicants
submitting an application for discretionary grant funding under the
``National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant
Program'' (Culvert AOP Program) established by the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, November 15, 2021, ``Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law'', or ``BIL''. DOT is requesting emergency approval
due to the urgency of making the associated funds available to
applicants that meet the eligibility requirements under the law. The
continued viability of these funds is critical in supporting the
transportation infrastructure and fish passage needs across the United
States.

for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
