Survey Questions
Section 1517 of MAP-21 & 23 U.S.C. 306
This collection of information is voluntary, and will be used States to determine the percentage of projects carried out under title 23, United States Code, in each State that utilize private sector sources for surveying and mapping services. Public reporting burden is estimated to average 24 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 2125-XXXX. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Michael Howell, Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Highway Administration, E64-433, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590 or [email protected].
How are surveying and mapping activities for projects carried out under Title 23, United States Codes, accomplished in your State? Use the table below to furnish the number of projects according to the mechanism by which the surveying and mapping services were secured, and by Federal Fiscal Year?
Note: For the purpose of answering this question, the “projects carried out under Title 23, United States Code” is to be interpreted as projects authorized in FHWA’s Fiscal Management Information System (FMIS). For projects that span multiple Federal Fiscal years, just report them once, under the year which they were originally authorized in FMIS.
