Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 84184 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 231 / Monday, December 4, 2023 / Notices Although the regulations require reporting, there is no prescribed format for reporting this information to FHWA. Thus, FHWA receives varied reports that often lack the critical information necessary to evaluate whether the metrics identified in the State DOT’s SOW have been met, and the number and demographic breakdown of DBEs that have participated in the program. Without this data provided in a manner that can easily be converted into national reports, FHWA is unable provide meaningful stewardship and oversight or to measure the effectiveness of DBE/SS Programs nationally. The national picture created by this report will enable HCR to indicate notable implementation efforts and improve its deployment of technical assistance to FHWA divisions offices. Also, standardized data will improve FHWA’s ability to meaningfully respond to stakeholder inquiries, including Congress, regarding program accomplishments. Further, with standardized data of program results, FHWA can better support requests for additional funding. The information required to populate the DBE/SS SOW template is based on existing requirements found in 23 CFR 230, subpart C; therefore, State DOTs should have the information to populate the SOW readily available. The information will merely be entered in an electronic fillable form as opposed to submitting a paper copy. The electronic system will also directly pre-populate the State’s Annual Accomplishment Report with the metrices identified in the State’s SOW. The information FHWA proposes to collect in its DBE/SS Accomplishment Report is based on existing reporting requirements found in 23 CFR 230, subpart B and the State DOT’s individual detailed statement of work; therefore, State DOTs should have this information readily available. In addition, the fillable format will streamline the State’s reporting process by eliminating the States’ need to duplicate language from the SOW into the Annual Report. While the requirements will not change, use of the SOW template and Accomplishment Report form will benefit State DOTs and FHWA by making the submissions more uniform in size and content, streamlining the submission and review process, and pair the performance metrics more easily with their accomplishments. By providing the SOW template along with this reporting format, FHWA aims to improve its stewardship and oversight of the DBE/SS Program, while ensuring State DOTs are effectively administering VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:20 Dec 01, 2023 Jkt 262001 these discretionary grants for the benefit of DBEs. Respondents: State Departments of Transportation Agencies responsible for submitting DBE/SS Statement of Work for the purpose of increasing the capacity and to improve the overall business practices of DBEs. Frequency: DBE/SS SOW are submitted annually (upon funding availability); Accomplishment Reports are submitted every year by July 31st. Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated number of hours for each of the 52 recipients to compile and submit the requested data is estimated to be no more than four employee hours annually. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated total annual burden for 53 recipients is 212 hours annually. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the FHWA’s performance; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA 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. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB’s clearance of this information collection.

Abstract: Form Letter 21–914 is primarily used to gather information which is necessary to verify whether a veteran or beneficiary who is receiving benefits at the full-dollar rate based on U.S. residency continues to meet the residency requirements. Continued eligibility to benefits at the full-dollar rate cannot be determined without complete information about a veteran’s or beneficiary’s residency. No substantive changes have been made to this form. However, the burden estimate has decreased due to (1) a decrease in the number of minutes it takes to fill out the form, and (2) the respondent total has also decreased since the previous approval due to the estimated number of receivables averaged over the past year. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
