SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: State Right-of-Way Operations
Manuals.
OMB Control Number: 2125–0586.
Background: It is the responsibility of
each State Department of Transportation
(State) to acquire, manage and dispose
of real property in compliance with the
legal requirements of State and Federal
laws and regulations. Part of providing
assurance of compliance is to describe
in a right-of-way procedural (operations)
manual the organization, policies and
procedures of the State to such an extent
that these guide State employees, local
acquiring agencies, and contractors who
acquire and manage real property that is
used for a federally funded
transportation project. Procedural
manuals assure the FHWA that the
requirements of the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act)
will be met. The State responsibility to
prepare and maintain an up-to-date
right-of-way procedural manual is set
out in 23 CFR 710.201(c). The regulation
allows States flexibility in determining
how to meet the manual requirement.
This flexibility allows States to prepare
manuals in the format of their choosing,
to the level of detail necessitated by
State complexities. Each State decides
how it will provide service to
individuals and businesses affected by
Federal or federally-assisted projects,
while at the same time reducing the
burden of government regulation. States
are required to update manuals to reflect
changes in Federal requirements for
programs administered under Title 23
U.S.C. The State manuals may be
PO 00000
Frm 00104
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
submitted to FHWA electronically or
made available by posting on the State
Web site.
Respondents: State Departments of
Transportation (52, including the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico).
Frequency: Once initially, then States
update their operations manuals for
review.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 75 hours per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 75 hours for each of the 52 State
Departments of Transportation. The
total is 3,900 burden hours annually.
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 oversight of the
right-of-way program; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (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 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 29, 2009.
