Federal Highway Administration August 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Agency Information Collection Activities: Notice of Request for Extension and Change of Title of a Currently Approved Information Collection
Document Number: E7-17339
Type: Notice
Date: 2007-08-31
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
The FHWA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval for renewal and change of title of an existing information collection that is summarized below under Supplementary Information. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. As part of FHWA's ongoing effort to reduce the overall burden on the public, four currently approved information collections associated with the accommodation or relocation of utility facilities in the right-of-way of highway facilities are being combined into a single collection (2125-0519) with a new title of Utility Adjustments, Agreements, Eligibility Statements, and Accommodation Policies. Since each collection involves information regarding Federal regulations on utilities, this request will allow FHWA to streamline the collection process for the respondents with the ultimate goal of lowering the overall information collection burden. In addition to the proposed burden-hour reductions, by combining these collections, FHWA will be in a position to communicate collection activity from the respondents in one process, thus allowing for greater efficiency for both FHWA and the public. These four current information collections include:
