Title: Highway Bridge and National 

Bridge Inspection Programs (National 

Bridge Inspection Standards). 

OMB Control: 2125–0501. 

Background: This collection is 

necessary to meet legislative 

requirements of title 23 United States 

Code section 144, and the Code of 

Federal Regulations, title 23 Highways, 

part 650, subpart C—National Bridge 

Inspection Standards which require 

States, Federal agencies, and Tribal 

governments to: (1) perform, and report 

inventory data from, initial, routine, 

non-redundant steel tension member, 

underwater, damage, in-depth, and 

special inspections as appropriate for all 

highway bridges on public roads, and 

element level inspections for highway 

bridges on the National Highway 

System; (2) report costs associated with 

the replacement of highway bridges; and 

(3) report critical findings on highway 

bridges. The bridge replacement unit 

cost information that is provided to the 

FHWA is on an annual basis. The 

critical findings information is 

periodically provided to the FHWA. The 

bridge information is used for multiple 

purposes, including: (1) the 

determination of the condition of the 

Nation’s bridges which is included in a 

biennial report to Congress on the Status 

of the Nation’s Bridges; (2) for various 

additional reports to Congress on Bridge 

Safety; (3) the data source for executing 

various sections of the Federal-aid 

program which involve highway 

bridges; (4) the data source for assessing 

the bridge penalty provisions of title 23 

United States Code section 119; (5) the 

data source for the evaluation of bridge 

performance measures established in 

title 23 United States Code section 150; 

(6) for conducting oversight of the 

National Bridge Inspection Program at 

the State, Federal agency, and Tribal 

government level; and (7) for strategic 

national defense needs. 

Respondents: 52 State highway 

agencies including the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico, Federal 

agencies, Tribal governments, and 

transportation departments of United 

States Territories of U.S Virgin Islands 

and Guam. The number of inspections 

per respondent varies in accordance 

with the National Bridge Inspection 

Standards. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated average burden 

for each bridge inspection is 8 hours. 

The estimated average burden for each 

element level inspection is 25 minutes. 

The estimated average burden for each 

cost collection report is 16 hours. The 

estimated average burden for reporting 

critical findings is 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The annual burden hours 

associated with this renewal is 

2,773,334 hours. This estimated figure is 

based on 342,475 annual instances for 

bridge inspections multiplied by 8 

hours (2,739,800 hours); plus 73,492 

annual element inspections multiplied 

by 25 minutes (30,622 hours); plus 16 

hours for each unit cost report 

multiplied by 52 reports (832 hours); 

plus 40 hours for follow up on critical 

findings multiplied by 52 respondents 

(2,080 hours) for a combined annual 

burden of 2,773,334 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are

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.
