Title: Prioritization Process Pilot Program.
Background: The Prioritization Process Pilot Program (PPPP) is a
competitive grant program established in Section 11204 of the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-58,
November 15, 2021). The PPPP provides funding to develop and implement
a publicly accessible, transparent prioritization process for the
ranking and selection of projects for inclusion in short-range and
long-range transportation plans, that upon completion can be evaluated
for public benefit. In 2024, FHWA made an award announcement for
approximately $24.7 million for 16 grants.
Respondents: The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), announcing
up to $25 million of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, 2025, and 2026 funding will
be available for the roughly 182 Metropolitan Planning Organizations
(MPOs) that serve a census designated urban area with a population over
200,000, the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and/or Puerto Rico to
apply. FHWA anticipates that over 30 eligible
[[Page 18524]]
applicants will apply for PPPP funding with approximately 120
submissions between the application process, grant agreement, and
project management.
Frequency: Once.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The average burden per
response varies depending on the stage of the process. The application
process takes approximately 15 hours per submission. The grant
agreement takes approximately 3 hours per submission. The project
management stage takes about 4 hours per submission.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 780 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: April 8, 2026.
