SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: DOT Technical Assistance PRA.
OMB Control Number: 2105-0584.
Type of Request: Renewal of information collection.
Background: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA,
Public Law 117-58) created several programs at the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) that allow local governments, non-profit
organizations, tribal governments, and other political subdivisions of
state or local governments to apply directly for DOT discretionary
grant funding.
For the Asset Concession and Innovative Finance Assistance Program
(also known as the Innovative Finance and Asset Concession Program),
project sponsors will make an application in response to a Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Successful applicants will receive
reimbursable grants to hire staff or procure technical assistance to
develop projects. Preparation of each NOFO response is estimated to
require 30 hours of staff time. Successful applicants must also prepare
progress reports as a condition of funding. Progress reporting is
estimated to require four hours per year. Each grant has a three-year
period of performance.
For the Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program, project sponsors
will make an application in response to a NOFO. The application process
is streamlined for this program and is estimated to require 19 hours to
complete. Successful applicants must also prepare progress reports as a
condition of funding. Progress reporting is estimated to require four
hours per year. Each grant has a three-year or two-year period of
performance.
