strategies identified in a comprehensive 

safety action plan; or to carry out 

projects and strategies identified in a 

comprehensive safety action plan. To 

receive applications for grant funds, 

evaluate the effectiveness of projects 

that have been awarded grant funds, and 

monitor project financial conditions and 

project progress, a collection of 

information is necessary. 

Eligible applicants will request Safe 

Streets and Roads for All funds in the 

form of a grant application. Additional 

information submission will be required 

of grant recipients during the grant 

agreement, implementation, and 

evaluation phases. 

Responding to the grant opportunity 

is on a voluntary-response basis, 

utilizing an electronic grant platform. 

The grant application is planned as a 

one-time information collection. DOT 

estimates that it will take approximately 

30 hours to complete an application for 

a comprehensive safety action plan 

grant and approximately 110 hours to 

complete an application for an 

implementation grant. 

Respondents: Metropolitan planning 

organizations, political subdivisions of a 

State, Federally recognized Tribal 

governments and multijurisdictional 

groups of these entities. 

Frequency: One time per grant 

application. 

During the project management phase, 

the grantee will complete quarterly 

progress and monitoring reports to 

ensure that the project budget and 

schedule are maintained to the 

maximum extent possible, that 

compliance with Federal regulations 

will be met, and that the project will be 

completed with the highest degree of 

quality. Reporting responsibilities 

include quarterly program performance 

reports using the Performance Progress 

Report (SF–PPR) and quarterly financial 

status using the SF–425 (also known as 

the Federal Financial Report or SF– 

FFR). 

Respondents: Grant recipients. 

Frequency: quarterly throughout the 

period of performance. 

During the project management phase, 

each grantee that expends $750,000 or 

more during their own fiscal year in all 

Federal awards must have a single or 

program-specific audit conducted for 

that year in accordance with the 

provisions of 2 CFR 200.501. (The 

$750,000 threshold is not limited to Safe 

Streets and Roads for All funding.) This 

reporting responsibility is required 

annually and uses a form, the SF–SAC. 

It is estimated that this survey will take 

an average of 100 hours for large 

auditees and 21 hours for all other 

auditees to complete, including the time 

for reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information. 

Respondents: Grant recipients. 

Frequency: annually during any fiscal 

year in which $750,000 or more in any 

Federal funds are expended, throughout 

the period of performance. 

During the project evaluation phase, 

the reporting requirement is necessary 

to assess program effectiveness for the 

Federal government and to comply with 

Subsection 24112(g). This report 

provides information regarding how the 

project is achieving the outcomes that 

grantees have targeted to help measure 

the effectiveness of the Safe Streets and 

Roads for All Grant Program. In 

addition, under Subsection 24112(h), at 

the end of the period of performance for 

a grant under the program each grant 

recipient is required to submit a report 

that describes the costs of each eligible 

project carried out using the grant 

funds; the outcomes and benefits 

generated; the lessons learned; and any 

recommendations relating to future 

projects or strategies. 

Respondents: Grant recipients. 

Frequency: one time after the period 

of performance ends. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 

• Application phase: approximately 

30 hours for the comprehensive safety 

action plan grants and 110 hours for the 

implementation grants per respondent. 

• Grant Agreement phase: 

approximately 1 hour per respondent 

(comprehensive safety action plan or 

implementation grant). 

• For grantees expending $750,000 or 

more of all Federal funds in a fiscal year 

only: 

Approximately 100 hours for large 

grantees. 

Approximately 21 hours for all other 

grantees. 

• Project Management phase: 8 hours 

annually per grant. 

• Project Evaluation phase: 12 hours 

annually per implementation grant; 2 

hours annually per action plan grant. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 

First year: Approximately 41 hours, 

including grant application, for 

comprehensive safety action plan grants 

and approximately 131 hours, including 

grant application, for implementation 

grants. 

Subsequent years (cumulative): 10 

hours for action plan grants (expected 

period of performance: 2 years); 48 

hours for implementation grants 

(expected period of performance: 5 

years); add 100 hours for single audits 

for large grantees and 21 hours for all 

other grantees expending $750,000 or 

more of Federal funds in a single fiscal 

year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Traffic Incident 

Management Annual Self-Assessment 

(TIMSA). 

Background: Each of the over 6 

million crashes per year presents a 

safety danger to motorists and 

responders while often causing delays 

on the nation’s roads. It is critical to 

safety and mobility for these crashes to 

be mitigated as efficiently and safely as 

possible. To address these concerns, 

dozens of Traffic Incident Management 

(TIM) Programs have been established 

throughout the country over the past 

25–30 years. Most of the top 75 

metropolitan areas and several rural 

areas have some form of TIM Program, 

often coordinated through a multidisciplinary committee comprised of all 

the response disciplines. The TIMSA 

tool was established to help regions 

assess the level of TIM Program 

maturity and to identify areas for 

improvement. 

The information is used by each 

jurisdiction to better understand 

opportunities for improving safety and 

mobility in their region. The FHWA also 

uses the data to assess progress of the 

FHWA national TIM program and 

identify opportunities to help regions 

improve. 

Respondents: Approximately 100 

individuals will complete the 

questionnaire in collaboration with an 

estimated average of 5 other 

participants. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 1–2 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200.

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions 

on the Mid-States Corridor Project in 

Indiana 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of limitation on claims 

for judicial review of actions by FHWA 

and other Federal agencies. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces final 

actions taken by FHWA and the United 

States Fish and Wildlife Service 

(USFWS) relating to the proposed MidStates Corridor Project in southern 

Indiana. The public is advised that 

FHWA issued a Record of Decision 

(ROD) which concludes the Tier 1 MidStates Corridor Project studies. The ROD 

is combined with the Mid-States 

Corridor Project Tier 1 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

prepared by FHWA and the Indiana 

Department of Transportation (INDOT). 

DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising 

the public of final agency actions 

subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim 

seeking judicial review of the Federal 

agency actions on the highway project 

will be barred unless the claim is filed 

on or before February 12, 2024. If the 

Federal law that authorizes judicial 

review of a claim provides a time period 

of less than 150 days for filing such 

claim, then that shorter time period still 

applies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that FHWA has approved 

the Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the Mid-States 

Corridor Project and issued the 

combined FEIS/ROD on September 15, 

2023. The FHWA used a tiered EIS for 

the Mid-States Corridor Project in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA); the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations implementing NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500 through 1508), FHWA’s 

regulations implementing NEPA (23 

CFR part 771), and Section 4(f) (23 CFR 

part 774). The Tier 1 FEIS included indepth analysis of environmental, 

transportation, and economic impacts 

and estimated project costs. The Tier 1 

EIS also analyzed a reasonable range of 

corridor alternatives, which led to 

identification of Refined Alternative P 

as the selected alternative. The FHWA 

has concurred in that recommendation. 

The Tier 1 FEIS and ROD established 

Sections of Independent Utility (SIUs) 

for the project. A Tier 2 NEPA study 

will be conducted for each SIU prior to 

construction and will include 

identification of specific alignments and 

alternatives. The Tier 2 studies will be 

more closely tailored to address 

transportation needs within the SIUs, 

and evaluation of alternatives will 

include consideration of the social, 

economic, traffic, cost, and 

environmental impacts among other 

factors. 

This FEIS and ROD identified Refined 

Alternative P as the Selected 

Alternative. Decisions in the FEIS and 

ROD included, but were not limited to, 

the following: 

1. Purpose and need for the project. 

2. Range of alternatives for analysis. 

3. Screening of alternatives and the 

identification of alternatives to be 

carried forward for more detailed
