The collection of information is
necessary in order to monitor grant recipients, project progress,
and project performance, pursuant to the Supplemental Discretionary
Grants for Capital Investments in Surface Transportation
Infrastructure, referred to by the Department as "Grants for
Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery", or "TIGER"
Discretionary Grants program authorized and implemented pursuant to
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("Recovery
Act"); and additionally, pursuant to the Transportation, Housing
and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of
2010 ("FY 2010 Appropriations Act"), Title I - Department of
Transportation, Office of the Secretary, National Infrastructure
Investments, Public Law 111-117, 123 Stat. 3034. The Office of the
Secretary of Transportation ("OST") is referring to these grants as
"TIGER Discretionary Grants," and TIGER II Discretionary Grants.
The purpose of each program is to advance projects that will have a
significant impact on the Nation, Metropolitan area or a
region.
This is an existing information
collection request with a request to revise the approved
collection. Due to the reduction in applications expected, there is
no overall increase in burden expected to each resondent. The
changes in burden are related to the need for OST and modal
administrations to oversee and administer the grants, as well as to
collect information on the transportation outcomes of the
grants.
