The Board will only process a collection under this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions: • the collections are voluntary; • the collections are low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal Government; • the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of concern to other Federal agencies; • any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future; • personally identifiable information is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained; • information gathered will be used only internally for general service improvement and program management purposes and not for release outside of the agency; • information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and • information gathered will yield qualitative information, and the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful information, but will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. Such data uses would require more rigorous designs than the collections covered by this notice. As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.

Abstract: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117– 58, November 15, 2021) (‘‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’’ or ‘‘BIL’’) appropriated $450 million to the PIDP for FY 2024 to make discretionary grants for eligible projects. On March 9, 2024, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118–42) (‘‘FY 2024 Appropriations Act’’) appropriated an additional $120,460,124 for the FY 2024 PIDP grant program. Of that amount, $50 million is available to be awarded as discretionary grants. Altogether, a total $500 million in funding is now available to be awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (Department) for the Port Infrastructure Development Program (Program). This appropriations act allows the Department to make discretionary grants to improve port facilities at or near coastal seaports. The purpose of the Program is to accept applications to make grants. Submitted applications will be reviewed to determine if respondents meet the criteria for selection as grant recipients. The Port Infrastructure Development Program was established under 46 U.S.C. 50302. The statute authorizes the Department of Transportation (‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOT’’) to establish a port infrastructure development program for the improvement of port facilities. To carry out a project under this program, the Department may provide financial assistance, including grants to port authorities or commissions, or to their subdivisions and agents, for port and intermodal infrastructure-related projects.
