DOT is approved an emergency clearance to meet American Reinvestment Recovery Act (ARRA) requirements. Due to the cross-cutting nature of reporting requirements under Section 1201 (which DOT is exempt from the Paperwork Reduction Act under Section 1201(e)) and Section 1512 of the ARRA, DOT must resubmit to OMB a revision of those specific reporting elements under Section 1512 once OMB issues formal guidance on Section 1512 reporting. This collection will be valid for six months. If DOT decides to continue use of the collection past the approved emergency request clearance time period, it must resubmit to OMB under the normal PRA clearance process for a three-year approval.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), provides the State Departments of Transportation and Federal Lands Agencies with $27.5 billion for highway infrastructure investment. With these funds also comes an increased level of data reporting with the stated goal of improving transparency and accountability at all levels of government. According to President Obama “Every American will be able to hold Washington accountable for these decisions by going online to see how and where their tax dollars are being spent.” The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in concert with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) and the other modes within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will be taking the appropriate steps to ensure that this accountability and transparency is in place for all infrastructure investments. The reporting requirements of the ARRA are covered in Sections 1201 and 1512. Specifically Section 1512 or the “Jobs Accountability Act” requires “any entity that receives recovery funds directly from the Federal Government (including recovery funds received through grant, loan, or contract) other than an individual,” including States, to provide regular “Recipient Reports.”
Emergency review is required in order to meet ARRA requirements.
