The Department of
Transportation (DOT) invites public
comments on a request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve the revision and amendment of
a previously approved Information
Collection Request (OMB Control #
2105–0563) in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The previous approval granted the
Department of Transportation authority
to collect information involving
National Infrastructure Investments or
‘‘TIGER II’’ Discretionary Grants
pursuant to Title I of the Transportation,
Housing and Urban Development, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act for
2010 (the ‘‘FY 201 Appropriations Act’’).
The Office of the Secretary of
Transportation (‘‘OST’’) is referring to
these grants as ‘‘TIGER II Discretionary
Grants.’’ The original collection of
information was necessary in order to
receive applications for grant funds
pursuant to the Transportation, Housing
and Urban Development, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010
(‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act’’), Title
I—Department of Transportation, Office
of the Secretary, National Infrastructure
Investments, Public Law 111–117, 123
Stat. 3034. The purpose of the TIGER II
Discretionary Grants program is to
advance projects that will have a
significant impact on the Nation,
Metropolitan area or a region.
This revision revises the original
request to include an additional
information collection. The additional
information to be collected will be used
to, and is necessary to, evaluate the
effectiveness of projects that have been
awarded grant funds and to monitor
project financial conditions and project
progress in support of the Supplemental
Discretionary Grants for Capital
Investments in Surface Transportation
Infrastructure, referred to by the
Department as ‘‘Grants for
Transportation Investment Generating
Economic Recovery’’, or ‘‘TIGER’’
Discretionary Grants program
authorized and implemented pursuant
to the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the
‘‘Recovery Act’’) (OMB Control Number:
2105–0560) and the grants for National
Infrastructure Investments under the FY
2010 Appropriations Act or TIGER II’’
Discretionary Grants. The purposes of
the TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary
Grant programs include promoting
economic recovery and supporting
projects that have a significant impact
on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a
region.
