Title: Accelerated Implementation and Deployment of Advanced
Digital Construction Management Systems, also known as Advanced Digital
Construction Management Systems (ADCMS).
Background: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administers
the Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS) program.
It was established by Congress in Section 5513 of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and is codified in Federal statute at 23
U.S.C. 503(c)(5).
The purpose of the ADCMS program is to promote, implement, deploy,
demonstrate, showcase, support, and document the application of
advanced digital construction management systems and practices. The
program's goals include maximizing interoperability with other systems,
boosting productivity, managing complexity, reducing project delays and
cost overruns, and enhancing worker safety and environmental benefits
through more efficient projects.
The program provides competitive grants to eligible entities,
including State Departments of Transportation, applying alone or in
partnership with Local Agencies, Tribes or Private Industry. The FHWA
announced the availability of up to $34 million for fiscal year 2026
grants to support these workforce and technology development efforts.
Respondents: The NOFO announcing up to $34 million of Fiscal Year
(FY) 2026, funding for ADCMS competitive grants will be available for
local and State transportation agencies, which may partner with
institutions of higher education and businesses on <a href="http://grants.gov">grants.gov</a>. FHWA is
expecting roughly 35 applicants to apply for ADCMS grant funding.
Frequency: NOFOs and grant solicitations may be published annually
by FHWA but are subject to the availability of funds in appropriations
or, any legislation signed into law authorizing funds.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 132 hours per respondent per
applicant.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: It is expected that the
respondents will complete approximately 35 applications for the
program, for an estimated total of 4,620 annual burden hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1)
[[Page 56942]]
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: September 2, 2026.
