SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Fixed Residential Moving Cost Schedule.
    OMB Control #: 2125-0616.
    Background: Relocation assistance payments to owners and tenants 
who move personal property for a Federal or federally-assisted program 
or project is governed by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real 
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (Uniform Act). 49 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 24, is the implementing 
regulation for the Uniform Act. 49 CFR 24.301 addresses payments for 
actual and reasonable moving and related expenses. The fixed 
residential moving cost schedule is an administrative alternative to 
reimbursement of actual moving costs. This option provides flexibility 
for the agency and affected property owners and tenants. The FHWA 
requests the State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) to 
analyze moving cost data periodically to assure that the fixed 
residential moving cost schedules accurately reflect reasonable moving 
and related expenses. The regulation allows State DOTs flexibility in 
determining how to collect the cost data in order to reduce the burden 
of government regulation. Updated State fixed residential moving costs 
are submitted to the FHWA electronically.
    Respondents: State Departments of Transportation (52, including the 
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico).
    Frequency: Once every 3 years.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 24 hours per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 24 hours for each of the 52 
State Departments of Transportation. The total is 1,248 burden hours, 
once every 3 years, or 416 hours annually.
    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 enhance the quality, 
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that 
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic 
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request 
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

    Issued On: July 26, 2013.

Information Collection Officer.
