SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Voucher for Federal-aid Reimbursements.
    OMB Control #: 2125-0507.
    Form #: PR-20.
    Background: The Federal-aid Highway Program provides for the 
reimbursement to States for expenditure of State funds for eligible 
Federal-aid highway projects. The Voucher for Work Performed under 
Provisions of the Federal Aid and Federal Highway Acts as amended is 
utilized by the States to provide project financial data regarding the 
expenditure of State funds and to request progress payments from the 
FHWA. Title 23 U.S.C. 121(b) requires the submission of vouchers. The 
specific information required on the voucher is contained in 23 U.S.C. 
121 and 117. Two types of submissions are required by recipients. One 
is a progress voucher where the recipient enters the amounts claimed 
for each FHWA appropriation, and the other is a final voucher where 
project costs are classified by work type. An electronic version of the 
Voucher for Work Performed under Provisions of the Federal Aid Highway 
Acts, as amended, Form PR-20, is used by all recipients to request 
progress and final payments.
    Respondents: 50 State Transportation Departments, the District of 
Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands.
    Estimated Average Annual Burden: The respondents electronically 
submit an estimated total of 12,900 vouchers each year. Each voucher 
requires an estimated average of 30 minutes to complete.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual 
burden is 6450 hours.
    Electronic Access: Internet users may access all comments received 
by the U.S. DOT Dockets, by using the universal resource locator (URL): 
http://dms.dot.gov, 24 hours each day, 365 days each year. Please
