The Department’s estimated burden for this information collection is the following: For New Applications Expected Number of Respondents: Approximately 250 per year. Frequency: Once. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours for each new Application. For Funding Agreements Expected Number of Respondents: Approximately 35 in Year 1, 2 and 3. Frequency: Once. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 hours for each new Funding Agreement. For Project Monitoring Expected Number of Respondents: Approximately 60 in Year 1, 70 in Year 2, 80 in Year 3. Frequency: Quarterly. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 hours for each request for Quarterly Progress and Monitoring Report. Estimated Total 3-Year Burden on Respondents: 79,700 hours. (New Applicants [75,000 hrs], New Awardees/ Recipients [700 hrs] + Prior Awardees/ Recipients [4000 hrs]). The following is detailed information and instructions regarding the specific reporting requirements for each report identified above: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Application Stage To be considered to receive a INFRA grant, a project sponsor must submit an application to DOT containing a project narrative, as detailed in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. The project narrative should include the information necessary for the Department to determine that the project satisfies eligibility requirements. Applications must be submitted through www.Grants.gov. Instructions for submitting applications can be found at https://www.transportation.gov/ buildamerica/infragrants. The application must include the Standard Form 424 (Application for Federal Assistance), Standard Form 424C (Budget Information for Construction Programs), cover page, and the Project Narrative. The application should include a table of contents, maps, and graphics, as appropriate, to make the information VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:16 Jan 07, 2022 Jkt 256001 Hrs 0 Freq 0 Number 0 20 Hrs Freq 0 easier to review. The Department recommends that the application be prepared with standard formatting preferences (i.e., a single-spaced document, using a standard 12-point font such as Times New Roman, with 1inch margins). The project narrative may not exceed 25 pages in length, excluding cover pages and table of contents. The only substantive portions that may exceed the 25-page limit are documents supporting assertions or conclusions made in the 25-page project narrative. If possible, website links to supporting documentation should be provided rather than copies of these supporting materials. If supporting documents are submitted, applicants should clearly identify within the project narrative the relevant portion of the project narrative that each supporting document supports. At the applicant’s discretion, relevant materials provided previously to a modal administration in support of a different USDOT financial assistance program may be referenced and described as unchanged. OST estimates that it takes approximately 100 person-hours to compile an application package for a INFRA application. Since OST expects to receive 250 applications per funding round, the total hours required are estimated to be 25,000 hours (100 hours × 250 applications = 25,000 hours) on a one-time basis, per funding round. Number 0 40 Hrs Freq 0 0 .............. Project Monitoring Stage OST requires each recipient to submit quarterly reports during the project to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of Federal funds under the grant. The requirements comply with 2 CFR part 200 and are restated in the funding agreement. During the project monitoring stage, the grantee will complete Quarterly Progress Reports to allow DOT to monitor the project budget and schedule. OST estimates that it takes approximately 5 person-hours to develop and submit a quarterly progress report. OST expects approximately 35 projects to be awarded per funding round, while grants awarded in prior years will reach completion during the year and would no longer need to submit these reports. OST expects recipients and awardees from 2016– 2021 will require 3800 hours to submit project monitoring reports while new recipients and awardees will require 700 hours from 2022–2024. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48. Issued in Washington, DC. John Augustine, Director of the Office of Infrastructure Finance and Innovation, Office of the Under Secretary for Transportation Policy. [FR Doc. 2022–00135 Filed 1–7–22; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P Funding Agreement Stage DOT enters a funding agreement with each recipient. In the agreement, the recipient describes the project that DOT agreed to fund, which is typically the project that was described in the INFRA application or a reduced-scope version of that project. The agreement also includes a project schedule, budget, and project related climate change and equity planning and policies. OST estimates that it takes approximately 6 person-hours to respond to provide the information necessary for funding agreements. Based on previous rounds of INFRA awards, OST estimates that there will likely be 35 agreements negotiated per additional funding round. The total hours required are estimated to be 120 (6 hours × 35 agreements = 210 hours) on a one-time basis, per funding round.
