The Department of Transportation is seeking public comments on the modification of existing information collection activities related to the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) and the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) credit programs. These changes are intended to streamline the application process for these financial assistance programs. The department is asking for feedback on whether these data collection efforts are necessary, how accurate their burden estimates are, and how they might minimize the burden on respondents. Comments need to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget by April 7, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Transportation wants to know what people think about making it easier to ask for money to fix or build roads and train tracks. They want to make filling out the forms less work.
