# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title:*                     Developing and Recording Costs for Railroad Adjustments.                 

*OMB Control #:*                     2125-0521.                 

*Background:*                     Under 23 U.S.C. 130, the FHWA reimburses the State highway agencies when they have paid for the cost of projects that (1) eliminate hazards at railroad/highway crossings, or (2) adjust railroad facilities to accommodate the construction of highway projects. The FHWA requires the railroad companies to document their costs incurred for adjusting their facilities. The railroad companies must have a system for recording labor, materials, supplies, and equipment costs incurred when undertaking the necessary railroad work. This record of costs forms the basis for payment by the State highway agency to the railroad company, and in turn FHWA reimburses the State for its payment to the railroad company.                 

*Respondents:*                     Approximately 135 railroad companies.                 

*Frequency:*                     Nearly 135 railroad companies are involved in an average of 10 railroad/highway projects per year, so the total frequency is 1,350 railroad adjustments.                 

*Estimated Average Burden per Response:*                     The average number of hours required to calculate the railroad adjustment costs and maintain the required records per adjustment is 12 hours.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     The FHWA estimates that the total annual burden imposed on the public by this collection is 16,200 hours.                 

Authority:The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
