3254 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2018 / Notices 

limited statutory exceptions, the ITACs 

are subject to the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. See 19 

U.S.C. 2155(f); 5 U.S.C. App. II. 

The current ITACs expire in February 

2018, and the Secretary and the Trade 

Representative intend to renew the 

ITACs as described below for a new 

four-year charter terms for the ITACs to 

begin in February 2018 and end in 

February 2022. 

For the 2014–2018 charter term, the 

Secretary and Trade Representative 

chartered: Thirteen sectoral ITACs 

advising on issues that affect specific 

sectors of U.S. industry; three ITACs 

advising on crosscutting, functional 

issues that affect all industry sectors and 

include specifically appointed members 

along with non-voting members from 

the industry specific ITACs to represent 

a broad range of industry perspectives; 

and a Committee of Chairs of the ITACs 

as follows: 

Industry Trade Advisory Committees 

on: 

(ITAC 1) Aerospace Equipment 

(ITAC 2) Automotive Equipment and 

Capital Goods 

(ITAC 3) Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, 

Health/Science Products and Services 

(ITAC 4) Consumer Goods 

(ITAC 5) Distribution Services 

(ITAC 6) Energy and Energy Services 

(ITAC 7) Forest Products 

(ITAC 8) Information and 

Communications Technologies, 

Services, and Electronic Commerce 

(ITAC 9) Building Materials, 

Construction, and Nonferrous Metals 

(ITAC 10) Services and Finance 

Industries 

(ITAC 11) Small and Minority 

Business 

(ITAC 12) Steel 

(ITAC 13) Textiles and Clothing 

(ITAC 14) Customs Matters and Trade 

Facilitation 

(ITAC 15) Intellectual Property Rights 

(ITAC 16) Standards and Technical 

Trade Barriers and a Committee of 

Chairs of the Industry Trade Advisory 

Committees. 

For the 2018–2022 charter term, after 

considering the statutory factors listed 

above, the Secretary and the Trade 

Representative propose to streamline 

the ITACs as follows based on the 

nature of the U.S. industry in various 

sectors, the level of interest in serving 

on an ITAC (using the number of 

members and applications for 

appointment during the 2014–2018 

charter terms), the level of activity of 

each ITAC (using the number of 

meetings and recommendations 

submitted during the 2014–2018 charter 

terms), and constraints on the resources 

to support and engage with the ITACs. 

• Combining the current ITACs on 

Distribution Services and on Services 

and Finance Industries into one ITAC 

on Services. 

• Combining the current ITACs on 

Forest Products and on Building 

Materials, Construction, and Nonferrous 

Metals into one ITAC on Forest 

Products, Building Materials, 

Construction, and Nonferrous Metals. 

• Changing the name of the ITAC on 

Information and Communications 

Technologies, Services, and Electronic 

Commerce to the ITAC on Digital 

Economy to reflect the innovation in 

and full scope of that industry sector. 

• Discontinuing the Committee of 

Chairs of the ITACs to both preserve 

staff resources and to ensure that all 

ITAC members receive relevant, timely, 

and unfiltered information directly from 

appropriate government staff. 

This streamlining would result in 

eleven sectoral ITACs and three 

functional ITACs for the new four-year 

charter term as follows: 

Industry Trade Advisory Committees 

on: 

(ITAC 1) Aerospace Equipment 

(ITAC 2) Automotive Equipment and 

Capital Goods 

(ITAC 3) Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, 

Health/Science Products and Services 

(ITAC 4) Consumer Goods 

(ITAC 5) Forest Products, Building 

Materials, Construction and 

Nonferrous Metals 

(ITAC 6) Energy and Energy Services 

(ITAC 7) Steel 

(ITAC 8) Digital Economy 

(ITAC 9) Small and Minority Business 

(ITAC 10) Services 

(ITAC 11) Textiles and Clothing 

(ITAC 12) Customs Matters and Trade 

Facilitation 

(ITAC 13) Intellectual Property Rights 

(ITAC 14) Standards and Technical 

Trade Barriers 

III. Request for Comments 

In accordance with Section 

135(c)(2)(A) (19 U.S.C. 2155(c)(2)) of 

the Trade Act, we invite written 

comments on the proposed changes to 

the slate of ITACs for the 2018–2022 

charter term.

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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1.48.
