[Docket No. DOT–OST–2018–0108] 

Vendor and Grantee Invoice 

Submission Process Change 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of enforced change with 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The DOT invites the public 

and other Federal agencies to comment 

on a proposed vendor invoice 

submission change. DOT will submit 

the proposed information collection 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. This 

notice sets forth new processes and 

procedures for vendors and grantees 

that submit invoices and receive 

payments for DOT Operating 

Administrations (OAs). Existing users of 

DOT’s eInvoicing system, including 

grantees and vendors, will also be 

required to use Login.gov. DOT’s 

objective is to improve efficiency and 

reduce unnecessary burden on vendors 

and grantees by eliminating existing 

manual processes for invoice entry, 

invoice approvals and user registration 

to reduce costs, increase timeliness of 

payments, and improve data quality. 

Introducing e-authentication to facilitate 

user validation and account 

management will greatly reduce the 

burden on vendors and grantees by 

eliminating the current paper based 

registration process. This electronic 

invoicing process is currently used by 

DOT’s grantee community and was 

successfully piloted to select vendors. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 24, 2018.
