DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2013–0217] 

Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Notice of New Requirements 

and Procedures for Grant Payment 

Request Submission 

AGENCY: Department of Transportation 

(DOT). 

ACTION: Notice with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The DOT invites the public 

and other Federal agencies to comment 

on a revision to a previously approved 

information collection concerning new 

requirements and procedures for grant 

payment request submission. DOT will 

submit the proposed renewal of 

information collection request to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)). This notice 

sets forth new requirements and 

procedures for grantees that submit and 

receive payments from DOT Operating 

Administrations (OAs).1 DOT is 

updating systems that support grant 

payments and there will be changes to 

the way grantees complete and submit 

payment requests. Simplifying the DOT 

grant payment process will save both 

the grantee and the Federal Government 

time and expense that come with paperbased grant application and payment 

administration. Note: At this time, this 

requirement is not applicable to DOT 

grant recipients requesting payment 

electronically through the National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 

Grant Tracking System (GTS), the 

Federal Highway Administration’s 

Rapid Approval State Payment System 

(RASPS), or Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) grant recipients 

requesting payment through the 

Electronic Clearing House Operation 

System (ECHO-Web). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before February 25, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information 

should be directed to U.S. Department 

of Transportation, Office of Financial 

Management, B–30, Room W93–431, 

1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC 20590–0001, (202) 366– 

1306, DOTElectronicInvoicing@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Notice of Requirements and 

Procedures for Grant Payment Request 

Submission. 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0564. 

Type of Request: Revision to 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Background: This notice sets forth 

requirements and procedures for 

grantees that receive payments from 

DOT OAs, with the exception of DOT 

grant recipients requesting payment 

electronically through the NHTSA’s 

GTS, the FHWA’s RASPS, or FTA grant 

recipients requesting payment through 

the Electronic Clearing House Operation 

System (ECHO-Web). The proposed 

procedures provide that— 

• Grantees will now be required to 

have electronic internet access to 

register in the Delphi eInvoicing system. 

• Grantees will be required to submit 

payment requests electronically and 

DOT OAs must process payment 

requests electronically. 

• The identities of system users must 

be verified prior to receiving access to 

the Delphi eInvoicing system. Users 

must complete a user request form and 

provide the following information: full 

name, work address, work phone 

number, work email address, home 

address and home phone number. Once 

completed, this form must be presented 

to a Notary Public for verification. Once 

notarized, the prospective grantee user 

will return the form to receive their 

login credentials. 

• DOT Office of Financial 

Management officials may allow 

exceptions to the requirement that 

grantees register and submit payment 

requests through the Delphi eInvoicing 

system under limited circumstances. 

Recipients may apply for an exemption 

by submitting an electronic Waiver 

Request Form to the DOT Office of 

Financial Management. The exceptions 

will be considered on a case by case 

basis via Waiver Request Form. 

Affected Public: DOT Grant 

Recipients. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,000.
