Agency Requests for Renewal of a Previously Approved Information Collection: SBTRC Regional Field Offices Intake Form (DOT F 4500) and SBTRC Regional Field Offices Quarterly Report Form (DOT F 4502)
Document Number: 2012-2044
Type: Notice
Date: 2012-01-31
Agency: Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation
The OSDBU invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves the following two (2) forms that have an expiration date of 01/31/2012, and are presently in use. The SBTRC forms have added the term of Regional Field Offices Intake Form and Regional Field Offices Quarterly Report Form, respectively. The Regional Field Offices Intake Form (No. DOT F 4500) is used to document the type of assistance provided to each small business that is enrolled in the database of the Program. The use of the Regional Field Office Quarterly Report Form (No. DOT F 4502) highlights activities such as counseling, marketing, meetings/ conferences, and services to businesses as completed during the quarter. The Quarterly Report Form provides a more composite and comprehensive review of the Field Offices' activities over a longer time frame. The information will be used to ascertain whether the program is providing services to its constituency, the small business community, and is done so in a fair and equitable manner. The information collected is necessary to determine whether small businesses are participating in DOT funded and DOT assisted opportunities with the DOT. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13.
Notice of Funding Availability for the Department of Transportation's National Infrastructure Investments Under the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations, 2012; and Request for Comments
Document Number: 2012-1996
Type: Notice
Date: 2012-01-31
Agency: Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation
This notice announces the availability of funding and requests proposals for the Department of Transportation's National Infrastructure Investments. In addition, this notice announces selection criteria and pre-application and application requirements for the National Infrastructure Investments. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-055, Nov. 18, 2011) (``FY 2012 Appropriations Act'') appropriated $500 million to be awarded by the Department of Transportation (``DOT'') for National Infrastructure Investments. This appropriation is similar, but not identical to the appropriation for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or ``TIGER Discretionary Grant'', program authorized and implemented pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ``Recovery Act''). Because of the similarity in program structure, DOT will continue to refer to the program as ``TIGER Discretionary Grants.'' As with previous rounds of TIGER, funds for the FY 2012 TIGER program are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area or a region. Through this notice, DOT is soliciting applications for TIGER Discretionary Grants. In the event that this solicitation does not result in the award and obligation of all available funds, DOT may decide to publish an additional solicitation(s).
