SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Strategic Innovation for 

Revenue Collection (SIRC) Program 

Grant Application. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0676. 

Background: In adherence with 5 CFR 

1320.13, this is a request for approval 

for an emergency clearance for 

processing of information related to a 

new collection of information for the 

SIRC Program grant application 

submission and quarterly reporting 

requirements for FY 2023–2024 program 

of projects awards. The collection of 

information will support 

implementation of title III—Research, 

Technology, and Education, sec. 13001. 

Strategic Innovation for Revenue 

Collection (a) and (b) of the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

(Public Law No: 117–58 or also referred 

to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure LawBIL (see Exhibit A page 12). The Office 

of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) 

and the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) has 

coordinated on the development of 

public information to solicit responses 

to a Notice of Funding Opportunity 

(NOFO) for the SIRC Program. Awarded 

funds to eligible applicants will test the 

feasibility of a road usage fee and other 

user-based alternative revenue 

mechanisms (referred to in this section 

as ‘‘user based alternative revenue 

mechanisms’’) to help maintain the 

long-term solvency of the Highway 

Trust Fund. 

• The information will be received by 

the FHWA to fulfill the grant 

application submittal requirements and 

agreements prescribed in the NOFO. 

• The collection of information will 

include grant application forms and 

narratives, grant agreements, and project 

management quarterly reporting. 

• The purpose of the collection is to 

receive information relevant to 

evaluating applications to the SIRC 

grant program, per the NOFO, and 

reporting requirements agreed to by 

recipients of the Grants. 

• The obligation to respond to the 

collection of information is voluntary 

and is required to obtain or retain a 

benefit. 

The Strategic Innovation for Revenue 

Collection (SIRC) Program seeks to fund 

pilot projects that test the 

implementation of user-based 

alternative revenue mechanisms that 

utilize a road user fee structure for 

eligible entities to test the feasibility of 

the program objectives outlined in 

section 133001(b)(3), as prescribed in 

Exhibit A of this document. Grant 

awards test innovative ways to replace 

or supplement the Federal gas tax to 

maintain the long-term solvency of the 

Highway Trust Fund. The collection of 

information is necessary to receive 

applications for grant funds, evaluate 

the effectiveness of projects that have 

been awarded grant funds, and monitor 

project financial conditions and project 

progress pursuant to section 

133001(b)(3). FY 2023—FY 2024 is the 

first year of implementation for the SIRC 

Program. FHWA implemented a similar 

predecessor program, the Surface 

Transportation System Funding 

Alternatives (STSFA) program 

authorized by section 6020 of the Fixing 

America’s Surface Transportation 

(FAST) Act, Public Law 114–94, FY 

2016–2021, which was repealed with 

the passage of BIL. Information about 

awards funded under the STSFA 

program is available at: https://

ops.fhwa.dot.gov/stsfa/index.htm. 

FHWA requests information from 

applicants in the form an electronic 

application, which will represent 100% 

of the submissions. The application will 

assist in soliciting proposals for funding 

from eligible applicants for the five-year 

grant program, to monitor the grant 

program recipients, project progress, 

assess project outcomes and permit 

evaluation. The reporting requirements 

are submitted by recipients and will be 

completed during the application stage, 

grant agreement, and the project 

management stages.

FHWA will continue to use the 

information collected in the application 

phase to evaluate proposals and make 

decisions to award grants to applicants 

for any future similar appropriations. 

FHWA will use the information to 

monitor the progress of projects that 

have been awarded SIRC Program funds, 

and to monitor the proper expenditure 

of Federal funds. The project 

management information will be 

collected by grant recipients. 

Much of the information will be 

produced and collected through the 

normal process of project management, 

so the additional burden of Government 

information collection is small in 

comparison to the data management 

related to information that grant 

recipients already collect to manage 

their projects properly. The information 

collected from grant recipients is project 

specific and the information is not 

available other than from the grantees. 

The information will be used to monitor 

projects on a quarterly basis, and to 

ensure on an annual basis that the 

project’s plan conforms to the project’s 

real operating environment. 

All information submitted as part of 

or in support of any application shall 

use publicly available data or data that 

can be made public. If the application 

includes information the applicant 

considers to be a trade secret or 

confidential commercial or financial 

information, the applicant should do the 

following: (1) Note on the front cover 

that the submission ‘‘Contains 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI)’’; (2) mark each affected page 

‘‘CBI’’; and (3) highlight or otherwise 

denote the CBI portions. DOT protects 

such information from disclosure to the 

extent allowed under applicable law. In 

the event DOT receives a Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) request for the 

information, DOT will follow the 

procedures described in its FOIA 

regulations at 49 CFR 7.17. Only 

information that is ultimately 

determined to be confidential under that 

procedure will be exempt from 

disclosure under FOIA. Retention of 

records will adhere to DOT Order 

1351.28 Records Management, 28.4.5 

Electronic Records. 

The Department will receive 

application reports electronically via 

email and via websites from grant 

awardees upon approval from OMB. 

Certain agencies within the Department 

have found that delivery of reports 

electronically is the most reliable way to 

collect information and will use their 

existing grant administration systems to 

collect the information covered under 

this request. To minimize the burden on 

applicants, OMB approved standard 

forms are being used to collect 

information where possible. Such 

standard forms include the Application 

for Federal Assistance (SF–424), 

available online at https://apply07.

grants.gov/apply/forms/sample/SF424_

2_1-V2.1.pdf, and the post-award 

Federal Financial Reports form (SF– 

425), available online at https://apply07.

grants.gov/apply/forms/sample/SF425_

2_0-V2.0.pdf. 

If the information requested in the 

reports is not collected, the Department 

will not be able to evaluate project 

progress or financial conditions in 

accordance with the 23 U.S.C., 

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the 

Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 

for the program published in the 

Federal Register. The quarterly 

collection of financial data ensures that 

the use of Federal funds can be 

appropriately monitored. 

Respondents: The primary 

respondents are the eligible applicants, 

which includes a State or a group of 

States, Metropolitan Planning 

Organization (MPO) or a group of 

Metropolitan Planning Organizations (as 

defined in section 134(b) of title 23, 

United States Code), a local government 

or a group of local governments. 

Frequency: Every year by December 

31st. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated number of 

hours for each of the 15 recipients 

(annually based on previous STSFA 

Program) to compile and submit the 

requested data is estimated to be no 

more than 8 employee hours annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Total estimated average annual 

burden is 1,032 hours. 

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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as
