Office of the Secretary
Title: Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Regulations for Federal and Federally Assisted Programs.
OMB Control Number: 2105-0508.
Affected Public: Federal, State, and Local government; individuals,
households, businesses, farms, not-for-profit institutions.
Abstract: The regulations implementing the Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as
amended (49 CFR 24.9), require covered agencies to maintain adequate
records of acquisition and relocation activities under the Act. In
addition, the Federal Highway Administration requires the 52 state
highway agencies carrying out the Federal-aid highway program to report
their Uniform Act acquisition and relocation activities once every
third year. The latest ICR authorizing burden hours for these
activities has expired. Therefore, the Department of Transportation is
seeking emergency clearance to reinstate approval to collect the afore-
mentioned information.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 29,000 hours.
Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW., Washington, DC
20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer.
Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 11, 1998.
