The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), part of the Department of Transportation, is seeking public comments on their plan to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new collection of information. This notice relates to the Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration Grants for fiscal years 2023-2026, which are available to eligible entities like State Departments of Transportation and Tribal governments. The FHWA will collect information annually to help distribute these grants, and the public is encouraged to share thoughts on the necessity and burden of this data collection process. For submitting comments, the agency has provided several methods including online, fax, and mail.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Highway Administration wants to hear what people think about their plan to collect information to give out special money prizes called grants. These grants will help people like state and tribal road departments try out new ideas to make roads better, and they want to make sure the process is not too hard and fair for everyone.
