SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Site Assessment Report--Detailed Damage Inspection Report
(DDIR).
Background:--A Detailed Damage Inspection Report (DDIR) is an
official document prepared under the Federal Highway Administration's
(FHWA) Emergency Relief (ER) Program, authorized by Title 23 of the
United States Code. The purpose of the DDIR is to provide a thorough
assessment of roadway and bridge damages caused by natural disasters or
catastrophic events, such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other
emergencies.
The report documents the specific site location, roadway
classification, and jurisdiction, along with detailed descriptions of
the observed damage. It also includes supporting documentation such as
photographs, maps, and inspection notes to establish the nature and
extent of the damages. Cost estimates for both emergency repairs and
permanent repairs are included, along with proposed contracting
methods.
Additionally, the DDIR evaluates the potential for resilience
improvements, ensuring compliance with federal requirements that
promote cost-effective measures to minimize future damage and repair
needs. The completed report serves as the foundation for determining
eligibility of a site under the ER program.
In addition to establishing site eligibility, the DDIR is also used
to develop the Program of Projects required under 23 U.S.C. 125, which
compiles all eligible sites and their associated cost estimates.
Respondents: 50 State DOTs, local and state governments, District
of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, United States territories of
American Samoa, Guam, N Marina Is., and the Virgin Islands (4
territories), etc.
Frequency: One per damaged site.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 hours per each assessment.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 112 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.
