SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Tribal Transportation Program Safety Fund (TTPSF).
    Background: The TTPSF is authorized within the Tribal 
Transportation Program (TTP) under section 202(e) of title 23, United 
States Code (U.S.C.) which reads ``to be allocated based on an 
identification and analysis of highway safety issues and opportunities 
on tribal land, as determined by the Secretary, on application of the 
Indian tribal governments''. The Federal Highway Administration has 
developed an application process which is described in a Notice of 
Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The current NOFO was published on June 7, 
2022.
    Respondents: Eligible applicants to the TTPSF are the 574 
federally-recognized Indian Tribes as described in 89 FR 944 or future 
updates published in the Federal Register.
    Frequency: Applications are accepted on an annual basis during a 
60-90 day application intake period.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: A complete application 
consists of a completed application form and project narrative 3-7 
pages in length, on average. An average of 130 applications are 
received annually from an average of 95 eligible applicants. Each 
application is estimated to take an average of 3 hours to complete.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual 
burden is 285 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the FHWA's performance; (2) the accuracy of 
the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality, 
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that 
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic 
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request 
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
