Department of Transportation codified at 49 CFR part 18. The 
information collected, retained and provided by the State and local

conformance with Federally mandated reporting requirements. OMB 
provides management and oversight of the circular. OMB also provides 
for a standard figure of seventy burden hours per grantee for 
completion of required forms. This collection covers only those DOT 
programs that utilize the standard OMB forms SF 269, SF 270, SF 271, SF 
272 and SF 424.
    Respondents: State and local governments receiving Federal 
financial assistance from the DOT.

the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.
