10812 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users of 2005 (SAFETEA–LU) which 

calls for the development and delivery 

of courses for the transportation 

community and requires the 

involvement and satisfaction 

measurement of transportation partners. 

One vital component involved in 

reaching those goals is providing 

training pertaining to highway 

activities, making sure that 

professionals and members of the public 

have access to the best, most accurate 

information. Towards this goal, the NHI 

develops and implements applicable 

training programs. To manage this 

increasingly complex task and to make 

the training process more accessible and 

useful, NHI is currently planning an 

automated online training management 

tool—the NHI Web Portal. The training 

evaluation and registration forms collect 

basic participant data for recordkeeping 

and basic course and instructor 

evaluation information for customer 

feedback about what NHI is doing well 

and what we need to improve. 

Respondents: Approximately 200 

students submit applications for the 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

and approximately 20,000 students for 

the NHI. 

Frequency: The Eisenhower 

Transportation Fellowship frequency is 

annually. The NHI is by learning 

session. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated burden to 

complete the application for the 

Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship 

is 3 hours. The estimated burden to 

complete each training evaluation and 

registration for the NHI form is 3 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 1,600 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’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (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, including the use of 

electronic technology, 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.
