SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition 
Regulations for Federal and Federally Assisted Programs.
    OMB Control #: 2105-0508
    Background: This program implements 42 U.S.C. 4602, concerning 
acquisition of real property and relocation assistance for displaced 
persons for Federal and federally-assisted programs. It prohibits the 
provision of relocation assistance and payments to persons not legally 
in the United States (with certain exceptions). The information 
collected consists of a certification of residency status from affected 
persons to establish eligibility for relocation assistance and 
payments. Displacing agencies will require each person who is to be 
displaced by a Federal or federally-assisted project, as a condition of 
eligibility for relocation payments or advisory assistance, to certify 
that he or she is lawfully present in the United States.
    Respondents: Federal agencies, State highway agencies, local 
government highway agencies, and airport sponsors receiving financial 
assistance for expenditures of Federal funds on acquisition and 
relocation payments and required services to displaced persons.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,460 for file maintenance and 52 
state highway agencies for statistical reports.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: The average burden per 
response is 16.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 25,000 hours.
    Electronic Access: Internet users may access all comments received 
by the U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL-401, by using the universal resource 
locator (URL): http://dms.dot.gov, 24 hours each day, 365 days each 
year. Please follow the instructions online for more information and 
help.

     Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
