SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Alternative Uses of the Right of Way.
Background: Government agencies that acquire real property for a
Federal-aid highway project in which Federal funds participated in any
phase, are charged with managing the acquired property after the
project is completed, as described in 23 CFR 710 subpart D--Real
Property Management. As a part of this consideration, any excess or
available right-of-way (ROW) for potential disposal must be determined
and inventoried. Each State Department of Transportation (SDOT) must
track, manage and update its inventory continually until the property
is disposed.
This survey will collect information that will support analysis of
the current state of the practice of Alternative Uses of the ROW
nationwide. The report will identify current processes and tools used
by SDOTs to identify and track ROW available for alternative uses, the
types of alternative use requests they receive, and any safety,
operational, or legal issues related to alternative uses. The survey
will also identify additional opportunities for improving the existing
processes, tools for identifying and tracking ROW that can streamline
agencies' Property Management programs and provide information to
states that have shown interest in alternative uses.
Respondents: Each of the 52 SDOTs (for the 50 states, the District
of Columbia, and Puerto Rico) will be asked to respond to a written
questionnaire. A subset of the state DOT's will be asked to participate
in follow up interviews.
Frequency: One-time survey.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 2 hours per
survey response and 1 hour per interview.
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.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
Issued on: August 8, 2023.
