L. 105–178). The IBRC program was continued in SAFETEA–LU, but was renamed as the IBRD program. Funds are provided to the States under as the IBRD program to pay the Federal share of the cost of projects that demonstrate innovative accelerated bridge design and construction technology and the application of innovative material technology in the repair, rehabilitation, replacement, or new construction of bridges and other highway structures. For each of the fiscal years 2005 through 2009, approximately $13.1 million will be available. For FY 2006, approximately $2.2 million is available for the IBRC program, and approximately $5.1 million for the IBRD program after reduction of funds pursuant to the Departments of Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, and the District of Colombia, independent Agencies Appropriations Act 2006 (Pub.

The IBRD activities include identification and selection of candidate projects from 50 State DOTs, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, which meet one or more goals of the program as established by the Congress. Approximately 25 projects will be selected that meet one or more program goals as follows: A. The development of new, costeffective, innovative highway bridge applications; B. The development of construction techniques to increase safety and reduce construction time and traffic congestion; C. The development of engineering design criteria for innovative products, materials, and structural systems for use in highway bridges and structures; D. The reduction of maintenance costs and life-cycle costs of bridges, including VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:46 Jun 16, 2006 Jkt 208001 costs of new construction, replacement or rehabilitation of deficient bridges; E. The development of highway bridges and structures that will withstand natural disasters; F. The documentation and wide dissemination of objective evaluations of the performance and benefits of these innovative designs, materials, and construction methods; G. The effective transfer of resulting information and technology; and, H. The development of improved methods to detect bridge scour and economical bridge foundation designs that will withstand bridge scour. Additional activities include collection of project information; documentation, promotion and wide dissemination of objective evaluations of the performance and benefits of these innovative designs, materials, and construction methods resulting from the project studies. Respondents: 50 State Departments of Transportation, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Frequency: Annual. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
