Title: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Performance Progress
Report (PPR) form.
Background: FHWA is administering over 40 competitive grant and
cooperative agreement programs, including those established under the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (November 15, 2021, Pub. L. 117-
58) and the Inflation Reduction Act, 2022 (August 16, 2022, Pub. L.
117-169). The Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR part 200
require recipients of Federal financial assistance awards to monitor
activities under Federal awards to ensure compliance with applicable
Federal requirements and performance expectations are being achieved.
In addition, the regulations require Federal awarding agencies, such as
FHWA, to use OMB-approved common information collections. The FHWA PPR
form will be used by recipients of FHWA grant awards and cooperative
agreements to report performance and progress of a Federal financial
assistance-funded construction or non-construction project.
Respondents: Recipients of a competitive grant or cooperative
agreement award administered by FHWA. Competitive grant or cooperative
agreement recipients include but are not limited to State DOTs as
defined in 23 U.S.C. 101, U.S. Territories, federally recognized
Tribes, and other entities identified as eligible for Federal financial
assistance from FHWA.
Frequency: The information will be collected quarterly,
semiannually, or annually, as required by the Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) for the grant program.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour per respondent per
form per grant or cooperative agreement award. This includes time to
review the form instructions, research existing sources to gather
necessary data, complete and review the form before submitting to FHWA.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: It is expected that
approximately 2,500 respondents will complete up to 4 PPR forms for a
up to 10 grant awards per respondent for an estimated total of 100,000
annual burden 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.
