Title: Statement of Materials and

Construction Involving Federal Funds.

OMB Number: 2125–0033.

Type of Request: Reinstatement,

without change, of a previously

approved collection for which approval

has expired.

Affected Public: Contractors.

Abstract: The form ‘‘FHWA–47

‘‘Statement of Materials and Labor Used

by Contractors on Highway

Construction Involving Federal Funds’’

is needed in order to obtain information

on the usage of materials and labor in

highway construction. Title 29 U.S.C. 2

authorizes the Department of Labor to

collect the labor-related information

using its own forces or by getting the

information from other Federal

agencies. An informal agreement has

been reached for FHWA to collect the

desired data for the Department of

Labor. This information is used by

FHWA for estimating current material

usage and cost distribution on Federalaid highway construction contracts to

aid in planning for future requirements

based on anticipated program levels.

There is also considerable interest by

industry, particularly suppliers of

highway construction materials, for the

usage information derived from the

FHWA–47 forms. This data is collected

from contracts of $1,000,000 or more on

the National Highway System and is not

considered confidential. The respondent

must submit the FHWA–47 form after

the project has been completed.

Estimated Annual Burden Hours:

7,475.

Number of Respondents: 650.

Address: Send comments to the Office

of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
