applications for new certificates, at 0.5 

hours each; 100 applications for 

amendment, at 0.5 hours each; 100 

petitions for exemption, at 0.5 hours 

each; and 350 submissions of plans for 

operations over congested areas, at 0.5 

hours each. The total reporting burden 

is thus 650 responses and 325 hours. 

All operators certificated under part 

137 are required to maintain certain 

records for a minimum of 12 months. 

The FAA estimates this recordkeeping 

burden at 4.5 hours per operator. 

Assuming a universe of 1,763 operators, 

the annual recordkeeping burden is 

7,934 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 325 

reporting hours + 7,934 recordkeeping 

hours = 8,259 total hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Scenic Byway Program 

(NSBP). 

Background: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) administers the 

NSBP. It was established by the 

Intermodal Surface Transportation 

Efficiency Act of 1991 in Section 162 of 

Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), 

and reauthorized and expanded 

significantly in 1998 under the 

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 

Century and again under the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users in 2005. The NSBP is a grass-roots 

collaborative effort established to help 

recognize, preserve, and enhance 

selected roads throughout the United 

States. Before 2019, Congress last 

authorized discretionary NSBP funds in 

2012 under the Surface Transportation 

Extension Act of 2012. Between 1992 

and 2012, FHWA awarded over $505 

million in NSBP grants. In 2022, FHWA 

awarded approximately $21.8 million in 

grants to 33 projects. 

Respondents: The Notice of Funding 

Opportunity (NOFO), announcing up to 

$26.95 million of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 

and 2024 funding for the National 

Scenic Byways Program (NSBP) 

discretionary grants is now available for 

State DOTs and Federally Recognized 

Indian Tribes on grants.gov. FHWA is 

expecting roughly 200 applicants to 

apply for NSBP grant funding. 

Frequency: NOFOs and grant 

solicitations will be published annually 

by FHWA but, are subject to the 

availability of funds in appropriations 

or, any legislation signed into law 

authorizing funds. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 3 hours per respondent per 

applicant. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: It is expected that the 

respondents will complete 

approximately 200 applications for an 

estimated total of 600 annual burden 

hours.
