SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Relocation Assistance Personal Interviews for FHWA Federal
and Federally Assisted Programs under the Uniform Relocation Assistance
and Real Property Acquisition Polies Act of 1970, as amended (Uniform
Act).
Background: This program implements 42 U.S.C. 4602, concerning
acquisition of real property and relocation assistance for persons
displaced by FHWA Federal and federally assisted programs. It requires
the provision of relocation assistance and payments to U.S. citizens
and persons legally present in the United States. The information
collected consists of a personal interview of affected persons to
establish eligibility for relocation assistance and payments.
Displacing agencies will request each person who is to be displaced by
a FHWA Federal or federally assisted project to voluntarily assist the
agency in determining the benefits that their household, business,
farm, or non-profit organization may be eligible to receive through the
personal interview to determine their needs and preferences related to
the move. This information is not required from the displaced person
for the agency to proceed.
Respondents: Any of the 56 State Departments of Transportations
(52, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico), and the United
States territories of American Samoa, Guam, N. Mariana Is., and the
Virgin Islands of the United States (4 territories), local government
agencies, persons administering projects or programs receiving
financial assistance for expenditures of Federal funds on acquisition
and relocation payments and required services to displaced persons that
are subject to the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970, as amended, (Uniform Act) for determination of
Uniform Act relocation program benefit amounts, and file maintenance.
Frequency: The information will be collected once per displacement
of a household, business, farm, or non-profit organization.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1.5 hours per respondent per
personal interview.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: It is expected that the
respondents will complete approximately 4,800 personal interviews for
an estimated total of 6,900 annual burden 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
[[Page 79334]]
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: September 24, 2024.
