    Background: Department of Transportation (DOT) invites public

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the DOT provides notice that 
it will submit an information collection requests (ICR) to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for emergency approval of a proposed

follow the normal PRA procedures to obtain extended approval for this 
proposed information collection. This collection involves applicants 
submitting an application for discretionary grant funding under the

Program'' (Culvert AOP Program) established by the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, November 15, 2021, ``Bipartisan 
Infrastructure Law'', or ``BIL''. DOT is requesting emergency approval 
due to the urgency of making the associated funds available to 
applicants that meet the eligibility requirements under the law. The 
continued viability of these funds is critical in supporting the 
transportation infrastructure and fish passage needs across the United 
States.

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.
