7 Information on State-specific strategic highway 

safety plans is available at https://

8 Information on FHWA proven safety 

countermeasures is available at: https://

highway safety plan.7 INFRA projects 

will be required to incorporate 

appropriate elements that respond to 

priority areas identified in that plan and 

are likely to yield safety benefits. 

Second, INFRA projects will incorporate 

appropriate safety-related activities that 

the Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) has identified as ‘‘proven safety 

countermeasures’’ due to their history of 

demonstrated effectiveness.8

After selecting INFRA recipients, the 

Department will work with those 

recipients on a project-by-project basis 

to determine the specific safety 

requirements that are appropriate for 

each award. 

b. Other Administrative and Policy 

Requirements 

All INFRA awards will be 

administered pursuant to the Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards found in 2 CFR part 

200, as adopted by USDOT at 2 CFR part 

1201. A project carried out under the 

INFRA program will be treated as if the 

project is located on a Federal-aid 

highway. All INFRA projects are subject 

to the Buy America requirement at 23 

U.S.C. 313. Additionally, applicable 

Federal laws, rules and regulations of 

the relevant operating administration 

administering the project will apply to 

the projects that receive INFRA grants, 

including planning requirements, 

Stakeholder Agreements, and other 

requirements under the Department’s 

other highway, transit, rail, and port 

grant programs. For an illustrative list of 

the applicable laws, rules, regulations, 

executive orders, policies, guidelines, 

and requirements as they relate to an 

INFRA grant, please see http://

www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/Freight/ 

infrastructure/nsfhp/fy2016_gr_exhbt_c/ 

index.htm. 

The applicability of Federal 

requirements to a project may be 

affected by the scope of the NEPA 

reviews for that project. For example, 

under 23 U.S.C. 313(g), Buy America 

requirements apply to all contracts that 

are eligible for assistance under title 23, 

United States Code, and are carried out 

within the scope of the NEPA finding, 

determination, or decision regardless of 

the funding source of such contracts if 

at least one contract is funded with Title 

23 funds. 

3. Reporting 

a. Progress Reporting on Grant Activity 

Each applicant selected for an INFRA 

grant must submit the Federal Financial 

Report (SF–425) on the financial 

condition of the project and the project’s 

progress, as well as an Annual Budget 

Review and Program Plan to monitor the 

use of Federal funds and ensure 

accountability and financial 

transparency in the INFRA program. 

b. Reporting of Matters Related to 

Integrity and Performance 

If the total value of a selected 

applicant’s currently active grants, 

cooperative agreements, and 

procurement contracts from all Federal 

awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000 

for any period of time during the period 

of performance of this Federal award, 

then the applicant during that period of 

time must maintain the currency of 

information reported to the System for 

Award Management (SAM) that is made 

available in the designated integrity and 

performance system (currently the 

Federal Awardee Performance and 

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) 

about civil, criminal, or administrative 

proceedings described in paragraph 2 of 

this award term and condition. This is 

a statutory requirement under section 

872 of Public Law 110–417, as amended 

(41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by section 

3010 of Public Law 111–212, all 

information posted in the designated 

integrity and performance system on or 

after April 15, 2011, except past 

performance reviews required for 

Federal procurement contracts, will be 

publicly available.

this notice, please contact the Office of 

the Secretary via email at INFRAgrants@

applicants receive accurate information 

about eligibility or the program, the

H. Other Information 

1. Protection of Confidential Business 

Information 

All information submitted as part of, 

or in support of, any application shall 

use publicly available data or data that 

can be made public and methodologies 

that are accepted by industry practice 

and standards, to the extent possible. If 

the application includes information the 

applicant considers to be a trade secret 

or confidential commercial or financial 

information, the applicant should do the 

following: (1) Note on the front cover 

that the submission ‘‘Contains 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI)’’; (2) mark each affected page 

‘‘CBI’’; and (3) highlight or otherwise 

denote the CBI portions. 

The Department protects such 

information from disclosure to the 

extent allowed under applicable law. In 

the event the Department receives a 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

request for the information, USDOT will 

follow the procedures described in its 

FOIA regulations at 49 CFR 7.17. Only 

information that is ultimately 

determined to be confidential under that 

procedure will be exempt from 

disclosure under FOIA. 

2. Publication of Application 

Information 

Following the completion of the 

selection process and announcement of 

awards, the Department intends to 

publish a list of all applications 

received along with the names of the 

applicant organizations and funding 

amounts requested. Except for the 

information properly marked as 

described in Section H.1., the 

Department may make application 

narratives publicly available.

1On March 1, 2018, OFAC created a new list, 

titled the List of Foreign Financial Institutions 

Subject to Correspondent Account or PayableThrough Account Sanctions (the ‘‘CAPTA List’’). 

The CAPTA List will include foreign financial 

institutions subject to correspondent or payablethrough account sanctions pursuant to sanctions 

authorities including the Ukraine Freedom Support 

Act of 2014, as amended by the Countering 

America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, and 

the North Korea Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 

510, as well as the specific strict conditions or 

prohibitions to which the foreign financial 

institutions are subject. It eventually will be 

expanded to include foreign financial institutions 

subject to correspondent or payable-through 

account sanctions pursuant to additional 

authorities, including the Iranian Financial 

Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 561, which are 

currently identified on OFAC’s Part 561 List. At 

that time, by separate action, OFAC will move the 

name of the foreign financial institution on the Part 

561 List, along with the relevant prohibition or 

strict condition(s) to which the foreign financial 

institution is subject, to the CAPTA List. This will 

not impact the relevant reporting requirement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Iranian Financial Sanctions 

Regulations Report on Closure by U.S. 

Financial Institutions of Correspondent 

Accounts and Payable-Through 

Accounts. 

OMB Number: 1505–0243. 

Abstract: Section 561.504(b) of the 

Iranian Financial Sanctions Regulations, 

31 CFR part 561 (the IFSR), specifies 

that a U.S. financial institution that 

maintained a correspondent account or 

payable-through account for a foreign 

financial institution whose name is 

added to the Part 561 List 1 on OFAC’s 

website (www.treasury.gov/ofac) as 

subject to a prohibition on the 

maintaining of such accounts must file 

a report with OFAC that provides full 

details on the closing of each such 

account within 30 days of the closure of 

the account. This collection of 

information assists in verifying that U.S. 

financial institutions are complying 

with prohibitions on maintaining 

correspondent accounts or payablethrough accounts for foreign financial 

institutions listed on the Part 561 List. 

The reports will be reviewed by the U.S. 

Department of the Treasury and may be 

used for compliance and enforcement 

purposes by the agency. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

being made to the notice at this time. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: U.S. financial 

institutions operating correspondent 

accounts or payable-through accounts 

for foreign financial institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

The likely respondents and recordkeepers affected by this collection of 

information in section 561.504(b) are 

U.S. financial institutions operating 

correspondent accounts or payable 

through accounts for foreign financial 

institutions. Since the date this 

reporting requirement was added to the 

IFSR (February 27, 2012) through June 

18, 2015, OFAC added the names of two 

foreign financial institutions to the Part 

561 List, of which one remains. No 

foreign financial institution was added 

to the Part 561 List during the current 

reporting period (through December 15, 

2018), and the number of respondents to 

this collection has been zero. For future 

notices, OFAC will continue to report 

retrospectively on the number of 

respondents during the reporting 

period. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 

hours per response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: While no responses are expected, 

an estimate of 1 response (2 hours) is 

being included to account for the 

possibility that someone could have to 

provide a notification in the future. 

Request for Comments 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. 

Approved: December 17, 2018.
