applications for new certificates, at 0.5
hours each; 100 applications for
amendment, at 0.5 hours each; 100
petitions for exemption, at 0.5 hours
each; and 350 submissions of plans for
operations over congested areas, at 0.5
hours each. The total reporting burden
is thus 650 responses and 325 hours.
All operators certificated under part
137 are required to maintain certain
records for a minimum of 12 months.
The FAA estimates this recordkeeping
burden at 4.5 hours per operator.
Assuming a universe of 1,763 operators,
the annual recordkeeping burden is
7,934 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 325
reporting hours + 7,934 recordkeeping
hours = 8,259 total hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Scenic Byway Program
(NSBP).
Background: The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) administers the
NSBP. It was established by the
Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 in Section 162 of
Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.),
and reauthorized and expanded
significantly in 1998 under the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century and again under the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users in 2005. The NSBP is a grass-roots
collaborative effort established to help
recognize, preserve, and enhance
selected roads throughout the United
States. Before 2019, Congress last
authorized discretionary NSBP funds in
2012 under the Surface Transportation
Extension Act of 2012. Between 1992
and 2012, FHWA awarded over $505
million in NSBP grants. In 2022, FHWA
awarded approximately $21.8 million in
grants to 33 projects.
Respondents: The Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO), announcing up to
$26.95 million of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023
and 2024 funding for the National
Scenic Byways Program (NSBP)
discretionary grants is now available for
State DOTs and Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes on grants.gov. FHWA is
expecting roughly 200 applicants to
apply for NSBP grant funding.
Frequency: NOFOs and grant
solicitations will be published annually
by FHWA but, are subject to the
availability of funds in appropriations
or, any legislation signed into law
authorizing funds.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 3 hours per respondent per
applicant.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: It is expected that the
respondents will complete
approximately 200 applications for an
estimated total of 600 annual burden
hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Port Infrastructure Development
Program.
OMB Control Number: 2133–0552.
Type of Request: Extension With
Change of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Abstract: The Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–
58, November 15, 2021) (‘‘Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law’’ or ‘‘BIL’’)
appropriated $450 million to the PIDP
for FY 2024 to make discretionary grants
for eligible projects. On March 9, 2024,
the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2024 (Pub. L. 118–42) (‘‘FY 2024
Appropriations Act’’) appropriated an
additional $120,460,124 for the FY 2024
PIDP grant program. Of that amount,
$50 million is available to be awarded
as discretionary grants. Altogether, a
total $500 million in funding is now
available to be awarded by the U.S.
Department of Transportation
(Department) for the Port Infrastructure
Development Program (Program). This
appropriations act allows the
Department to make discretionary grants
to improve port facilities at or near
coastal seaports. The purpose of the
Program is to accept applications to
make grants. Submitted applications
will be reviewed to determine if
respondents meet the criteria for
selection as grant recipients.
The Port Infrastructure Development
Program was established under 46
U.S.C. 50302. The statute authorizes the
Department of Transportation
(‘‘Department’’ or ‘‘DOT’’) to establish a
port infrastructure development
program for the improvement of port
facilities. To carry out a project under
this program, the Department may
provide financial assistance, including
grants to port authorities or
commissions, or to their subdivisions
and agents, for port and intermodal
infrastructure-related projects.
The Department seeks to fund projects
that will advance Departmental
priorities of safety, equity, Justice40,
climate and sustainability, workforce
development, job quality, and wealth
creation, as described in the DOT’s
Strategic Plan and executive orders.
MARAD encourages applicants to
propose projects that will improve
safety, efficiency, or the reliability of the
movement of goods through ports and

intermodal connection to ports, and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the
transportation sector. Proposed projects
must also create proportional impacts to
all populations in a project area,
increase equitable access to project
benefits, support the creation of goodpaying jobs with the free and fair choice
to join a union, and include the
incorporation of strong labor standards,
training, and placement programs,
especially registered apprenticeships.
Respondents: A State, a political
subdivision of a State or a local
government, a public agency or publicly
chartered authority established by one
or more States, a special purpose district
with a transportation function, an
Indian Tribe or consortium of Indian
Tribes, a multistate or
multijurisdictional group of entities, or
a lead entity described above jointly
with a private entity or group of private
entities (including the owners or
operators of a facility, or collection of
facilities, at a port).
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
200.
Estimated Number of Responses: 200.
Estimated Hours per Response: 160.
Annual Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours: 32,000.
Frequency of Response: Once
Annually.
A 60-day Federal Register Notice
soliciting comments on this information
collection was published on July 29,
2024, in the Federal Register (FR 60966,
Vol. 89, No. 145). The posting received
one comment, which expressed support
for the continued collection of
information about program applicants to
PIDP, and concern that the elimination
of form MA–1083 would result in a loss
of information about applicants to the
program. MARAD does not agree that
without the form, MARAD will lose
information about program applicants.
The MA–1083 form has not been
required from PIDP applicants for
multiple fiscal years, without major
impacts to the grant program or its
operations. Program staff are confident
that necessary information about PIDP
applicants will continue to be collected
without the required MA–1083 form.
Additionally, the elimination of the
required form will provide modest
reductions in the annual burden for
PIDP applicants.

1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended; and
