SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Emergency Relief Funding 

Applications. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0525 

Background: Congress authorized in 

Title 23, United States Code, Section 

125, a special program from the 

Highway Trust Fund for the repair or 

reconstruction of Federal-aid highways 

and roads on Federal lands which have 

suffered serious damage as a result of 

natural disasters or catastrophic failures 

from an external cause. This program, 

commonly referred to as the Emergency 

Relief or ER program, supplements the 

commitment of resources by States, 

their political subdivisions, or other 

Federal agencies to help pay for 

unusually heavy expenses resulting 

from extraordinary conditions. The 

applicability of the ER program to a 

natural disaster is based on the extent 

and intensity of the disaster. Damage to 

highways must be severe, occur over a 

wide area, and result in unusually high 

expenses to the highway agency. 

Examples of natural disasters include 

floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, 

tornadoes, tidal waves, severe storms, 

and landslides. Applicability of the ER 

program to a catastrophic failure due to 

an external cause is based on the criteria 

that the failure was not the result of an 

inherent flaw in the facility but was 

sudden, caused a disastrous impact on 

transportation services, and resulted in 

unusually high expenses to the highway 

agency. A bridge suddenly collapsing 

after being struck by a barge is an 

example of a catastrophic failure from 

an external cause. The ER program 

provides for repair and restoration of 

highway facilities to pre-disaster 

conditions. Restoration in kind is 

therefore the predominate type of repair 

expected to be accomplished with ER 

funds. Generally, all elements of the 

damaged highway within its cross 

section are eligible for ER funds. 

Roadway items that are eligible may 

include: Pavement, shoulders, slopes 

and embankments, guardrail, signs and 

traffic control devices, bridges, culverts, 

bike and pedestrian paths, fencing, and 

retaining walls. Other eligible items may 

include: Engineering and right-of-way 

costs, debris removal, transportation 

system management strategies, 

administrative expenses, and equipment 

rental expenses. This information 

collection is needed for the FHWA to 

fulfill its statutory obligations regarding 

funding determinations for ER eligible 

damages following a disaster. The

regulations covering the FHWA ER 

program are contained in 23 CFR part 

668. 

Respondents: 50 State Transportation 

Departments, the District of Columbia,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Highway Bridge and National 

Bridge Inspection Programs previously 

titled National Bridge Inspection 

Standards. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0501. 

Background: The Highway Bridge and 

National Bridge Inspection Programs 

require bridge inspection and reporting 

at regular intervals for all highway 

bridges greater than 20 feet in length 

located on public roads. Title 23, U.S.C., 

Section 144 defines the Highway Bridge 

Program. Title 23, U.S.C., Section 151 

defines the National Bridge Inspection 

Program. They are further defined in 

regulation, 23 CFR 650 C, National 

Bridge Inspection Standards, and 

23 CFR 650 D, Highway Bridge Program. 

Inspections of fracture critical bridges 

and underwater inspections are also 

required at prescribed intervals. The 

bridge inspection information that is 

provided to the FHWA on an annual 

basis is summarized on the Structure 

Inventory and Appraisal (SI&A) Sheet. 

The inspection information is used for 

multiple purposes, including: (1) The 

determination of the condition of the 

Nation’s bridges; (2) as a basis for setting 

initial priorities for the replacement or 

rehabilitation of bridges under the 

Highway Bridge Program (HBP); and (3) 

for apportioning HBP funds to the States 

for bridge replacement or rehabilitation. 

In order to apportion funds for the HBP, 

the law requires that a cost to replace or 

rehabilitate each bridge needs to be 

determined. In order to determine that 

cost, the FHWA collects data on new 

and replaced bridges from the States 

annually. In addition, the information is 

used for strategic national defense needs 

and for preparing an annual report to 

Congress on the status of the Nation’s 

highway bridges. 

Respondents: 52 State highway 

agencies including the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico, and Federal 

agencies will be conducting 286,200 

inspections. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated average burden 

for each inspection is 8 hours. The 

estimated average burden for each cost 

collection report is 90 hours. The 

estimated average burden for follow up 

on critical findings is 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The annual burden associated 

with the inspection is 2,289,600 hours. 

The annual burden associated with the 

cost report is 4,680 hours. The annual 

burden associated with follow up on 

critical findings is 2,080 hours for a 

combined annual burden of 2,296,360 

hours.
