Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 36040 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 120 / Tuesday, June 23, 2015 / Notices In addition to the more formal National TPM Implementation Review, FHWA will conduct yearly informal voluntary TPM State-of-Practice questionnaires related to TPM policy and guidance, technical assistance, and capacity needs. These voluntary information collection actions will occur 1 to 2 times per year. The information will be collected from state, metropolitan, regional, local, and/or tribal transportation agencies via internet-based questionnaires or web applications and used to help FHWA: • Strategically plan to meet ever growing demand for TPM technical assistance needs; • Develop and refine TPM policy and guidance based on stakeholder feedback; • Channel resources to meet capacity development and training needs; and • Identify and prioritize TPM research needs. Lastly, as part of FHWA’s ongoing technical assistance efforts, a TPM Toolbox is being created to help FHWA’s partners self-assess and benchmark their TPM implementation progress, capabilities, and gaps. The TPM Toolbox also helps FHWA streamline the integration and administration of all the efforts described above. To maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the TPM Toolbox, FHWA will collect business contact and organizational demographic (size of organization, location, etc.) information along with the responses submitted as part of the TPM Toolbox’s self-assessment applications. Respondents: The 975 respondents estimate is based on soliciting input from all 52 state transportation agencies, 409 MPOS, and a sampling of transit agencies, RPOs, and other transportation entities. Frequency: Each State, MPO, RPO, and a sampling of transit agencies will be solicited to provide information up to 4 times per year. This is dependent on whether information is being collected on the National Transportation Performance Management Implementation Review and the frequency of state-of-practice questionnaires. Estimated Average Burden per Response: Up to 2 hours per response or 8 hours per year for all responses (4 questionnaires per year times up to 2 hours per questionnaire). Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The total annual burden for all respondents is estimated to be 7,800 burden hours per year (8 burden hours per respondent times 975 respondents). The annual number of burden hours (professional and clerical staff) per VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:39 Jun 22, 2015 Jkt 235001 respondent to answer questions on the current state of the practice, data, methods, and systems used by state, metropolitan, regional, local, and/or tribal transportation entities to support their required TPM processes is estimated to be up to 8 (4 questionnaires per year times up to 2 hours per questionnaire). This annual burden per respondent consists of the staff time of each respondent. The burden was determined as follows: Issued On: June 15, 2015. Michael Howell, Information Collection Officer. Professional Staff Time: Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws: Vessel VELA ANDATO; Invitation for Public Comments 1.5 hour/respondent × 975 respondents × 4 questionnaires per year = 5850 hours 0.5 hours/respondent × 975 respondents × 4 questionnaires per year = 1,950 hours The total annual associated salary cost to respondents is estimated to be $257,400 based on an average salary of $38 per hour (approximately $79,000 per year) for professional staff and $18 per hour (approximately $37,000 year) for clerical staff. Professional staff cost for preparation of work programs: 5,850 hours × $38 per hour = $222,300 Clerical staff time: 1,950 hours × $18 per hour = $35,100 Total annual costs: Subtotal Direct Salaries $257,400 Overhead/fringe benefits at 33%: $84,942 Total annual respondent cost: $342,342 Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the U.S. DOT’s performance, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S. DOT’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information.
