satisfaction of eligibility requirements. 

TIFIA and RRIF credit assistance is 

awarded based on a project’s 

satisfaction of TIFIA and RRIF (as 

applicable) eligibility requirements. The 

Department is authorized to prescribe 

the form and contents of the LOI and 

application. 45 U.S.C. 823 and 23 U.S.C. 

601(a)(6). 

Respondents: State and local 

governments, transit agencies, 

government-sponsored authorities, 

special authorities, special districts, 

ports, private railroads, and certain 

other private entities. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: Based on the number and 

type of interested stakeholders that have 

contacted the Department about the 

RRIF and TIFIA programs in fiscal years 

(FY) 2018–2021, the Department 

estimates that it will receive, on an 

annual basis, eight (8) RRIF letters of 

interest (LOIs), twelve (12) TIFIA LOIs, 

eight (8) RRIF applications, and twelve 

(12) TIFIA applications. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The Department estimates that it 

will generally take applicants not fewer 

than twenty (20) person-hours to 

assemble a single LOI (for either credit 

program) and not fewer than one 

hundred (100) person-hours to assemble 

a single application (for either credit 

program). (Person-hour estimates 

provided for a RRIF application assume 

that the applicant will initially submit 

an LOI, reducing the number of personhours spent on the application.) Based 

on the anticipated annual total number 

of respondents, the total annual hour 

burden of this collection for RRIF LOIs 

and applications is 960 and for TIFIA 

LOIs and applications is 1,440 hours. 

Frequency of Collection: This 

information collection will occur on a 

rolling basis as interested entities seek 

RRIF or TIFIA credit assistance. 

Public Comments Invited: The 

Department invites interested 

respondents to comment on a proposed 

information collection activity 

(summarized below) with respect to: (i) 

Whether the information collection 

activities are necessary for the 

Department to properly execute its 

functions, including whether the 

activities will have practical utility; (ii) 

the accuracy of the Department’s 

estimates of the burden of the 

information collection activities, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used to 

determine the estimates; (iii) ways for 

the Department to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information 

being collected; and (iv) ways for the 

Department to minimize the burden of 

information collection activities on the 

public by automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology (e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses). See 

44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). The Department 

believes that soliciting public comment 

will promote its efforts to reduce the 

administrative and paperwork burdens 

associated with the collection of 

information mandated by Federal 

regulations. In summary, the 

Department reasons that comments 

received will advance three objectives: 

(i) Reduce reporting burdens; (ii) ensure 

that it organizes information collection 

requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format 

to improve the use of such information; 

and (iii) accurately assess the resources 

expended to retrieve and produce 

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 

3501.

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as
