SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Highway Bridge and National

OMB Control #: 2125–0501.
Background: The Highway Bridge and
National Bridge Inspection Programs
PO 00000
Frm 00090
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
10507
require bridge inspection and reporting
at regular intervals for all highway
bridges greater than 20 feet in length
located on public roads. Title 23, U.S.C.,
section 144 defines the Highway Bridge
Program. Title 23, U.S.C., section 151
defines the National Bridge Inspection
Program. They are further defined in
regulation, 23 CFR 650 C, National
Bridge Inspection Standards, and 23
CFR 650 D, Highway Bridge Program.
Inspections of fracture critical bridges
and underwater inspections are also
required at prescribed intervals. The
bridge inspection information that is
provided to the FHWA on an annual
basis is summarized on the Structure
Inventory and Appraisal (SI&A) Sheet.
The inspection information is used for
multiple purposes, including: (1) The
determination of the condition of the
Nation’s bridges; (2) as a basis for setting
initial priorities for the replacement or
rehabilitation of bridges under the
Highway Bridge Program (HBP); and (3)
for apportioning HBP funds to the States
for bridge replacement or rehabilitation.
In order to apportion funds for the HBP,
the law requires that a cost to replace or
rehabilitate each bridge needs to be
determined. In order to determine that
cost, the FHWA collects data on new
and replaced bridges from the States
annually. In addition, the information is
used for strategic national defense needs
and for preparing an annual report to
Congress on the status of the Nation’s
highway bridges.
Respondents: 52 State highway
agencies including the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico, and Federal
agencies.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The estimated average burden
for each inspection is 8 hours. The
estimated average burden for each cost
collection report is 90 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: The annual burden associated
with the inspection is 2,289,600 hours.
The annual burden associated with the
cost report is 4,680 hours for a
combined annual burden of 2,294,280
hours.
Electronic Access: Internet users may
access all comments received by the
U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL–401, by
using the universal resource locator
(URL): https://dms.dot.gov, 24 hours
each day, 365 days each year. Please
follow the instructions online for more
information and help.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1.48.
