SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: State Right-of-Way Operations
Manuals.
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. In addition to the annual
updates, further lengthy updates of each
manual will be required due to the
amending of 23 CFR 710 and 49 CFR 24
regulations, as prompted by the
enactment of the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP–
21). The updated State manuals may be
submitted to FHWA electronically or
made available by posting on the State
website.
Respondents:

basis and certify every 5 years.

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours:
Regular update of manual: 52
respondents × 15 hours = 780 burden
hours.
23 CFR 710 regulatory revisions: 52
respondents × 225 hours = 11,700
burden hours.
49 CFR 24 regulatory revisions: 112
respondents × 225 hours = 25,200
burden hours.
Total: 780 hrs. + 11,700 hrs. + 25,200

Federal Regulations (CFR), part 24, is
the implementing regulation for the
Uniform Act. 49 CFR 24.301 addresses
payments for actual and reasonable
moving and related expenses. The fixed
residential moving cost schedule is an
administrative alternative to
reimbursement of actual moving costs.
This option provides flexibility for the
agency and affected property owners
and tenants. The FHWA requests the
State Departments of Transportation
(State DOTs) to analyze moving cost
data periodically to assure that the fixed
residential moving cost schedules
accurately reflect reasonable moving
and related expenses. The regulation
allows State DOTs flexibility in
determining how to collect the cost data
in order to reduce the burden of
government regulation. Updated State
fixed residential moving costs are
submitted to the FHWA electronically.
Respondents: State Departments of
Transportation (52, including the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico).
Frequency: Once every 3 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 24 hours per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 24 hours for each of the 52 State
Departments of Transportation. The
total is 1,248 burden hours, once every
3 years, or 416 hours annually.
