SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Performance Progress
Report (PPR) Form.
Background: FHWA is administering over 40 discretionary grant and
cooperative agreement programs, including those established under the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, (November 15, 2021, Pub. L. 117-58) and the
Inflation Reduction Act, 2022 (August 16, 2022, Pub. L. 117-169). The
Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR part 200 require
recipients of Federal financial assistance awards to monitor activities
under Federal awards to ensure compliance with applicable Federal
requirements and performance expectations are being achieved. In
addition, the regulations require Federal awarding agencies, such as
FHWA, to use OMB-approved common information collections. The FHWA PPR
form will be used by recipients of FHWA grant awards and cooperative
agreements to report performance and progress of a Federal financial
assistance-funded construction or non-construction project.
Respondents: Recipients of a discretionary grant or cooperative
agreement award administered by FHWA. Discretionary grant or
cooperative agreement recipients include but are not limited to State
DOTs as defined in 23 U.S.C. 101, U.S. Territories, Federally
recognized tribes, and other entities identified as eligible for
federal financial assistance from FHWA.
Frequency: The information will be collected quarterly,
semiannually, or annually, as required by the Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) for the grant program.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour per respondent per
form per grant award. This includes time to review the form
instructions, research existing sources to gather necessary data,
complete and review the form before submitting to FHWA.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: It is expected that
approximately 2,500 respondents will complete up to 4 PPR forms for a
up to 10 grant awards per respondent for an estimated total of 100,000
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
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
