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.
