SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published a Federal Register Notice with

23, 2023 at 88 FR 33188.
    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 are 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 addressed in 49 CFR 24.302. 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: 56 respondents (50 State DOTs, District of Columbia, 
Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, N Marina Island, and the Virgin 
Islands).
    Frequency: Once every 3 years.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 24 hours per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 56 respondents x 24 hours = 
1,344 burden total burden hours, once every 3 years, or 448 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: April 23, 2024.
