SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Risk-Based Asset Management Plans.
Background: Under 23 U.S.C. 119(e) and implementing regulations at
23 CFR part 515, State Departments of Transportation (DOT) are required
to develop Risked-Based Asset Management Plans (AMP) for the National
Highway System (NHS) to improve or preserve the condition of the assets
on and the performance of the NHS. Each State DOT must also annually
demonstrate to FHWA that it has implemented an AMP that meets the
requirements of 23 U.S.C. 119(e) and 23 CFR part 515 (23 CFR
515.13(b)(2)), and each State DOT must submit its processes for the
development of its AMP to FHWA for certification and recertification
every four years following the year of initial certification (23 U.S.C.
119(e)(6)). Section 11105(3) of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
(Pub. L. 117-58) added the requirement in 23 U.S.C. 119(e)(4)(D) that
risk management and lifecycle cost analyses in AMPs discuss extreme
weather and resilience.
Respondents: There are 52 State Departments of Transportation
(State DOT) that are required to submit information (State DOTs).\1\ Of
these, 17
[[Page 46986]]
State DOTs already conduct extreme weather and resilience analyses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are considered
States for the purposes of the Federal-aid highway program. See 23
U.S.C. 101(a)(28).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequency: Annually (to demonstrate implementation of an AMP) and
every 4 years (when submitting processes for the development of an AMP
for recertification).
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Per State DOT, the estimated
annual burden is 884 hours for the general AMP preparation, plus an
additional 1,560 burden hours per State DOT that does not already
perform extreme weather and resilience analyses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual
burden is 100,568 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 May 24, 2024.
