SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: ‘‘Right-of-Way Cost Estimation 

Processes; State of the Practice’’. 

Government agencies that acquire real 

property for a Federal-aid highway 

program typically consider the cost of 

many alternatives for a potential project. 

As a part of this consideration, estimates 

of the cost of right-of-way needed for 

potential highway alignments must be 

determined and documented. Agencies 

may use several different methods to 

determine the estimate and document 

these costs. The methods range from a 

process using only paper and pencil, all 

the way to a process utilizing 

Geographic Information System (GIS) 

mapping and electronic data capture 

methods. The electronic methods 

presumably include an electronic 

calculation method which tabulates and 

calculates total costs, area to be 

acquired, and the numbers of 

relocations of residential and business 

property owners and tenants. Utilizing 

the paper-based method necessarily 

requires manual collection, organization 

and calculation which are likely 

expensive and inefficient, both in terms 

of dedicated staff time and dollars 

spent. 

Respondents: Each State DOT will be 

asked to respond, as well as a limited 

number (5–10) of local government 

agencies that have large and complex 

transportation programs. Each invited 

agency will be asked to respond to a 

one-time survey containing questions 

about the agency’s ROW cost estimation 

process and management. 

Frequency: There will be one survey 

only. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 8–16 personhours to fully and accurately respond to 

the survey, depending on the size and 

complexity of an individual agency’s 

transportation program. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 900 hours. (This 

is the estimated total burden, for 

approximately 60 State and local 

government transportation agencies to 

respond to a single survey). 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Travel Monitoring Analysis 

System (TMAS), OMB Control Number: 

2125–0587. 

Background: Title 49, United States 

Code, Section 301, authorizes the DOT 

to collect statistical information relevant 

to domestic transportation. The FHWA 

is continuing to develop the TMAS to 

house data that will enable analysis of 

the amount and nature of both vehicular 

and nonmotorized travel at the national 

and regional levels. The information 

will be used by the FHWA and other 

DOT agencies to evaluate changes in 

vehicular and nonmotorized travel to 

assess impacts on highway safety, 

national travel trend, national travel 

demand, the role of travel in economic 

productivity, impacts of changes in 

truck travel on infrastructure condition, 

and maintenance of our Nation’s 

mobility while protecting the human 

and natural environment. The 

increasing dependence on truck 

transport requires that data be available 

to better assess its overall contribution 

to the Nation’s well-being. In 

conducting the data collection, the 

FHWA will be requesting that State 

Departments of Transportations 

(SDOTs) report traffic volume, vehicle 

classification, vehicle weight data and 

nonmotorized data which they collect as 

part of their existing traffic monitoring 

programs, including other sources such 

as local governments and traffic 

operations. States and local 

governments collect nonmotorized and 

motorized traffic volume, vehicle 

classification data, and vehicle weight 

data throughout the year using detection 

devices. The data should be 

representative of all public roads within 

State boundaries. The data will allow 

transportation professionals at the 

Federal, State, and metropolitan levels 

to make informed decisions about 

policies and plans. 

Respondents: 52 SDOTs, including 

the District of Columbia and Puerto 

Rico. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each of the SDOTs already 

collect traffic data for various purposes. 

In accordance with 23 U.S.C. 303, each 

State has a Traffic Monitoring System in 

place so the data collection burden 

relevant for this notice is the additional 

burden for each State to provide a copy 

of their traffic data using the record 

formats specified in the Traffic 

Monitoring Guide. Automation and 

online tools continue to be developed in 

support of the TMAS and the capability 

now exists for online submission and 

validation of total volume data. The 

estimated average monthly burden is 2.5 

hours for an annual burden of 30 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Total burden will be 1560 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the U.S. 

DOT’s performance, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S. 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (3) 

ways 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.
