The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is seeking public comments on its plan to ask the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval to collect new information. This collection will involve using the FHWA Performance Progress Report (PPR) Form to track and report the performance and progress of projects funded by federal grants or cooperative agreements. The data collection is essential to ensure compliance with federal requirements and is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. Comments should be submitted by January 31, 2025, and feedback on the necessity, burden, and potential improvements for the collection process is encouraged.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to ask people what they think about a new form that will help track how well projects using their money are doing, and they should share their thoughts by the end of January. They're trying to figure out the best way to do this, but they haven't exactly explained how they will make it easy for everyone or how they'll use people's ideas to make the process better.
