Estimated Total 3-Year Burden on

Recipients [700 hrs] + Prior Awardees/ 

Recipients [4000 hrs]). 

The following is detailed information 

and instructions regarding the specific 

reporting requirements for each report 

identified above: 

Application Stage 

To be considered to receive a INFRA 

grant, a project sponsor must submit an 

application to DOT containing a project 

narrative, as detailed in the Notice of 

Funding Opportunity. The project 

narrative should include the 

information necessary for the 

Department to determine that the 

project satisfies eligibility requirements. 

Applications must be submitted 

through www.Grants.gov. Instructions 

for submitting applications can be found 

at https://www.transportation.gov/ 

buildamerica/infragrants. The 

application must include the Standard 

Form 424 (Application for Federal 

Assistance), Standard Form 424C 

(Budget Information for Construction 

Programs), cover page, and the Project 

Narrative. 

The application should include a 

table of contents, maps, and graphics, as 

appropriate, to make the information 

easier to review. The Department 

recommends that the application be 

prepared with standard formatting 

preferences (i.e., a single-spaced 

document, using a standard 12-point 

font such as Times New Roman, with 1- 

inch margins). The project narrative 

may not exceed 25 pages in length, 

excluding cover pages and table of 

contents. The only substantive portions 

that may exceed the 25-page limit are 

documents supporting assertions or 

conclusions made in the 25-page project 

narrative. If possible, website links to 

supporting documentation should be 

provided rather than copies of these 

supporting materials. If supporting 

documents are submitted, applicants 

should clearly identify within the 

project narrative the relevant portion of 

the project narrative that each 

supporting document supports. At the 

applicant’s discretion, relevant 

materials provided previously to a 

modal administration in support of a 

different USDOT financial assistance 

program may be referenced and 

described as unchanged. 

OST estimates that it takes 

approximately 100 person-hours to 

compile an application package for a 

INFRA application. Since OST expects 

to receive 250 applications per funding 

round, the total hours required are 

estimated to be 25,000 hours (100 hours 

× 250 applications = 25,000 hours) on a 

one-time basis, per funding round. 

Funding Agreement Stage 

DOT enters a funding agreement with 

each recipient. In the agreement, the 

recipient describes the project that DOT 

agreed to fund, which is typically the 

project that was described in the INFRA 

application or a reduced-scope version 

of that project. The agreement also 

includes a project schedule, budget, and 

project related climate change and 

equity planning and policies. 

OST estimates that it takes 

approximately 6 person-hours to 

respond to provide the information 

necessary for funding agreements. Based 

on previous rounds of INFRA awards, 

OST estimates that there will likely be 

35 agreements negotiated per additional 

funding round. The total hours required 

are estimated to be 120 (6 hours × 35 

agreements = 210 hours) on a one-time 

basis, per funding round. 

Project Monitoring Stage 

OST requires each recipient to submit 

quarterly reports during the project to 

ensure the proper and timely 

expenditure of Federal funds under the 

grant. 

The requirements comply with 2 CFR 

part 200 and are restated in the funding 

agreement. During the project 

monitoring stage, the grantee will 

complete Quarterly Progress Reports to 

allow DOT to monitor the project budget 

and schedule. 

OST estimates that it takes 

approximately 5 person-hours to 

develop and submit a quarterly progress 

report. OST expects approximately 35 

projects to be awarded per funding 

round, while grants awarded in prior 

years will reach completion during the 

year and would no longer need to 

submit these reports. OST expects 

recipients and awardees from 2016– 

2021 will require 3800 hours to submit 

project monitoring reports while new 

recipients and awardees will require 

700 hours from 2022–2024.
