Title: Eisenhower Transportation
Fellowship Program.
OMB Control #: 2125–0617.
Background: The Eisenhower
Transportation Fellowship Program is
comprised of two programs, the
Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship
and the National Highway Institute
(NHI). The purpose of the Eisenhower
Transportation Fellowship is to advance
transportation education and research,
and attract qualified students to the
field of transportation. The Eisenhower
Transportation Fellowship allows for
the collection and analysis of vital
program information from student
transportation education programs, also
serving as a management tool to
measure program performance and
evaluate effectiveness in meeting
Federal intent and workforce
development common goals and
objectives. An application form is used
to collect basic information from the
emcdonald on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

student to determine eligibility and
qualifications for fellowship.
The NHI calls for the development
and delivery of courses for the
transportation community and requires
the involvement and satisfaction
measurement of transportation partners.
One vital component involved in
reaching those goals is providing
training pertaining to highway
activities, making sure that
professionals and members of the public
have access to the best, most accurate
information. Towards this goal, the NHI
develops and implements applicable
training programs. To manage this
increasingly complex task and to make
the training process more accessible and
useful, NHI has automated an online
training management tool—the NHI
Web Portal. The training evaluation and
registration forms collect basic
participant data for record keeping and
basic course and instructor evaluation
information for customer feedback about
what NHI is doing well and what we
need to improve.
Respondents: Approximately 200
students submit applications for the
Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship
and approximately 20,000 students for
the NHI.
Frequency: The Eisenhower
Transportation Fellowship frequency is
annually. The NHI is by learning
session.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The estimated burden to
complete the application for the
Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship
is 3 hrs, 600 hrs annually. The estimated
burden to complete each training
evaluation and registration for the NHI
form is 3 minutes, 1000 hrs annually.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 1,600 hours
annually.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Utilization of the Private Sector
for Surveying and Mapping Services.
Background: Section 1517 of MAP–
21, the Moving Ahead for Progress in
the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 112–141),
requires the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a survey of all States to
determine the percentage of projects
carried out under title 23, United States
Code, in each State that utilize private
sector sources for surveying and
mapping services. Additionally, Section
306 of Title 23, United States Code,
requires the Secretary of Transportation
to issue guidance to encourage States to
utilize, to the maximum extent
practicable, private sector sources for
surveying and mapping services for
projects under title 23 of the United
States Code; and, to develop a process
for the oversight and regular monitoring
of each State’s use of the private sector
to provide these services.
The FHWA, via a survey, will be
requesting information from the State
Transportation Agencies to determine
the percent of projects in each state for
which private sector sources were
utilized for surveying and mapping
services. Included in the survey will be
the request for information from the
State transportation agencies, on the
extent to which they use the private
sector for surveying and mapping
activities. Information obtained from the
survey will be used to issue revised
guidance recommending appropriate
roles for government and private sector
surveying activities and in continuing to
encourage States to use private sector
sources to provide these services. The
survey results will also be used to
develop a process for the oversight and
regular monitoring of each State’s use of

the first year and 78 hours in the followup years.
