SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHWA published a Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day public comment period on this information collection on
November 18, 2025, at 90 FR 51806. No comments were received.
Title: Noise Abatement Inventory Request.
OMB Control: 2125-0645.
Background: 23 CFR 772.13(f) requires State DOTs to maintain an
inventory of constructed noise abatement measures, the information to
be requested, and for FHWA to collect it via OMB collection
requirements. The parameters in the information to be collected include
location, design information, costs, project information and what land
uses the abatement measure is protecting from noise. The information is
used to create a national inventory that allows us to see trends over
time, share the information with the public, and use it for research
projects.
Respondents: 52 respondents of the 50 State DOTs, District of
Columbia, and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Three-year approved clearance.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: On the average, the estimate
is 8 hours per response. The average of 8 hours includes the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering the
data, reviewing it, and maintaining it. Note: Some respondents may have
far less time than 8 hours, since they have done this before and their
information is easily accessible.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated annual burden
hours are 416, which is based on an average of 8 hours per respondent
and 52 respondents, which are the 50 State DOTs, the District of
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
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: January 26, 2026.
