SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FHWA Excellence in Right-ofWay Awards. 

Background: In 1995, the Federal 

Highway Administration established the 

biennial Excellence in Right-of-Way 

Awards Program to recognize partners, 

projects, and processes that use FHWA 

funding sources to go beyond regulatory 

compliance and achieve Right-of-Way 

excellence. Excellence in Right-of-Way 

awardees have contributed to 

outstanding innovations that enhance 

the right-of-way professional’s ability to 

meet the challenges associated with 

acquiring real property for Federal-aid 

projects. 

Similarly, FHWA established the 

Excellence in Right-of-Way Awards 

Program to honor the use of innovative 

practices and outstanding achievements 

associated with highway improvement 

projects as it relates to the Right-of-Way 

program. The goal of the program is to 

showcase exemplary and innovative 

projects, programs, initiatives, and 

practices that successfully integrate the 

consideration of the Right-of-Way 

program along with the association of 

the acquisition of land required to 

construct transportation facilities. 

Award: Anyone can nominate a 

project, process, person or group that 

has used Federal Highway 

Administration funding sources to make 

an outstanding contribution to 

transportation and the Right-of-Way 

field. The nominator is responsible for 

submitting an application form that 

summarizes the outstanding 

accomplishments of the entry. FHWA 

will use the collected information to 

evaluate, showcase, and enhance the 

public’s knowledge on addressing rightof-way challenges on transportation 

projects. Nominations will be reviewed 

by an independent panel of judges from 

varying backgrounds. It is anticipated 

that awards will be given every two 

years. The winners are presented 

plaques at an awards ceremony. 

Respondents: Anyone who has used 

Federal Highway funding sources in the 

fifty states, the District of Columbia and 

Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: The information will be 

collected biennially. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 6 hours per respondent per 

application. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: It is expected that the 

respondents will complete 

approximately 50 applications for an 

estimated total of 600 annual burden 

hours. 

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

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be

collection.
