SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Report of DBE Awards and 

Commitments. 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0510. 

Type of Request: Extension to a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: 49 CFR Part 26 establishes 

requirements for the Department of 

Transportation (DOT) so as to comply 

with the mandate by statute including 

1101 (b) of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users Public Law 

109–59 and 49 U.S.C. 47113, Public Law 

105–178. The key part of the collection 

is a requirement that state and local 

governments subject to the DBE program 

report to the Secretary of Transportation 

on DBE participation, as well as 

maintain a directory of DBE firms and 

report to the Secretary concerning the 

composition of the directory. If these 

reporting requirements were not 

available, firms controlled by minorities 

would not achieve the appropriate 

participation in DOT programs, and the 

Department would not be able to 

identify its recipients and evaluate the 

extent to which financial assistance 

recipients have been awarded a 

reasonable amount of contracting 

dollars to DBEs. 

In order to minimize the burden on 

DOT recipients the Department has 

limited its informational request and 

reporting frequency to that necessary to 

meet its program and administrative 

monitoring requirements. The 

information request consists of 17 data 

items on one page and one attachment, 

to be completed on a semi-annual basis 

(for FHWA and FTA programs) or an 

annual basis (for FAA programs). 

Respondents: DOT financiallyassisted state and local transportation 

agencies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,057. 

Estimated Total Burden on 

Respondents: 1,311,000. 

The information collection is 

available for inspection in 

regulations.gov, as noted in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

Comments are Invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Omnibus Household Survey 

Program. 

Background: In 2005, Congress 

passed, and the President signed, the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU; Pub. L. 109–59). 

SAFETEA–LU contained a number of 

legislative mandates including 

providing data, statistics and analyses to 

transportation decision-makers. The 

Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration, Bureau of 

Transportation Statistics (RITA/BTS) 

was tasked to accomplish this legislative 

mandate under 49 U.S.C. 111(c)(5). 

RITA/BTS plans to use the Omnibus 

Household Survey (OHS) to: 

• Assess the public’s evaluation of 

the nation’s transportation system in 

light of the DOT’s strategic goals (safety, 

reduced congestion, global connectivity, 

environmental stewardship and 

security, preparedness and response), 

• provide a vehicle for the operating 

administrations within the DOT as well 

as other governmental agencies, to 

survey the public about current 

transportation issues, and 

• provide national estimates of 

transportation mode usage. 

Each version of the OHS will focus on 

some subset of topics taken from the list 

below. Topics may vary from survey to 

survey since covering all topics in one 

questionnaire would make the 

respondent burden unacceptable:

the Month and the Week Prior to the 

Survey Data Collection

Privately owned vehicle 

Taxi 

Rail transit (subway, streetcar, or light
