SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: State Right-of-Way Operations 

Manuals, OMB Control Number 2125– 

0586. 

Background: It is the responsibility of 

each State Department of Transportation 

(State) to acquire, manage and dispose 

of real property in compliance with the 

legal requirements of State and Federal 

laws and regulations. Part of providing 

assurance of compliance is to describe 

in a right-of-way procedural (operations) 

manual the organization, policies and 

procedures of the State to such an extent 

that these guide State employees, local 

acquiring agencies, and contractors who 

acquire and manage real property that is 

used for a federally funded 

transportation project. Procedural 

manuals assure the FHWA that the 

requirements of the Uniform Relocation 

Assistance and Real Property 

Acquisition Policies Act (Uniform Act) 

will be met. The State responsibility to 

prepare and maintain an up-to-date 

right-of-way procedural manual is set 

out in 23 CFR 710.201(c). The regulation 

allows States flexibility in determining 

how to meet the manual requirement. 

This flexibility allows States to prepare 

manuals in the format of their choosing, 

to the level of detail necessitated by 

State complexities. Each State decides 

how it will provide service to 

individuals and businesses affected by 

Federal or federally-assisted projects, 

while at the same time reducing the 

burden of government regulation. States 

are required to update manuals to reflect 

changes in Federal requirements for 

programs administered under Title 23 

U.S.C. The State manuals may be 

submitted to FHWA electronically or 

made available by posting on the State 

web site. 

Respondents: State Departments of 

Transportation (52, including the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico). 

Frequency: Once initially, then States 

update their operations manuals for 

review. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 75 hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 75 hours for each of the 52 State 

Departments of Transportation. The 

total is 3,900 burden hours annually. 

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 oversight of the 

right-of-way program; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden; (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 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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1.48.
