SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Tunnel Inspection Program.
OMB Control No.: 2125-0640.
Background: This collection is necessary to meet legislative
requirements of 23 U.S.C. 144 and 23 CFR part 650, subpart E--National
Tunnel Inspection Standards which require States, Federal agencies, and
Tribal governments to: (1) perform, and report inventory and element
data from, initial, routine, damage, in-depth, and special inspections
as appropriate for all highway tunnels on public roads, and (2) report
critical findings on highway tunnels. The critical findings information
is periodically provided to the FHWA. The tunnel information is used
for multiple purposes, including: (1) the determination of the
condition of the Nation's tunnels; (2) for various reports to Congress
on Tunnel Safety; (3) for conducting oversight of the National Tunnel
Inspection Program at the State, Federal agency, and Tribal level; and
(4) for strategic national defense needs.
Respondents: 42 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 4
Federal agencies. The number of inspection per respondent varies in
accordance with the National Tunnel Inspection Standards.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated average burden
for each tunnel inspection is 40 hours. The estimated average burden
for reporting critical findings is 40 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The annual burden hours
associated with this renewal is 15,880 hours. This estimated figure is
based on annual instances for tunnel inspections multiplied by 40 hours
(13,960 hours); plus 40 hours for follow up on critical findings
multiplied by 48 respondents (1,920 hours) for a combined annual burden
of 15,880 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: February 6, 2024.
