Number 2105–0563) in accordance with
the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The previous approval granted the
Department of Transportation authority
to collect information involving
National Infrastructure Investments or
‘‘TIGER’’ Discretionary Grants pursuant
to Title I of the Transportation, Housing
and Urban Development, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act for 2010
(the ‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act’’).
The Office of the Secretary of
Transportation (‘‘OST’’) is referring to
these grants as ‘‘TIGER Discretionary
Grants.’’ The original collection of
information was necessary in order to
receive applications for grant funds
pursuant to the Transportation, Housing
and Urban Development, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010
(‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act’’), Title
I—Department of Transportation, Office
of the Secretary, National Infrastructure

Title: National Infrastructure
Investments Grant Program or ‘‘TIGER
Discretionary Grants’’ and
Supplemental Discretionary Grants for
Capital Investments in Surface
Transportation Infrastructure.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved
information collection.
Background: The Transportation
Investment Generating Economic
Recovery or ‘‘TIGER Discretionary
Grants’’ program was created as part of
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. Through the
Recovery Act and six appropriations
acts, Congress provided DOT with
funding for seven rounds of competitive
grants totaling more than $4.6 billion for
capital and planning investments in
surface transportation infrastructure.
Funding for 72 projects totaling more
than $584 million under the TIGER
program was announced on September
12, 2014. Projects were selected based
on their alignment with the selection
criteria specified in the Federal Register
notice for the TIGER Discretionary Grant
program. As announced in the Federal
Register notices for each of the TIGER
Discretionary Grant programs, grantees
are expected to provide information to
the Government so that the Government
may monitor the financial conditions
and progress of projects, as well as the
effectiveness of projects using
performance measurement metrics
negotiated between the grantees and the
Government.
This request reinstates the existing
PRA clearance to cover the requests for
information from grantees that is
necessary to receive grant applications,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

negotiate the grant agreements, and
cover the reporting requirements agreed
to by recipients of TIGER Discretionary
Grants.
The reporting requirements for the
program are as follows:
Grantees will submit reports on the
financial condition of the project and
the project’s progress. Grantees will
submit progress reports and the Federal
Financial Report (SF–425) to the
Government on a quarterly basis,
beginning on the 20th of the first month
of the calendar-year quarter following
the execution of a grant agreement, and
on the 20th of the first month of each
calendar-year quarter thereafter until
completion of the project. The initial
report will include a detailed
description, and, where appropriate,
drawings, of the items funded.
Grantees will also submit an Annual
Budget Review and Program Plan to the
Government via email 60 days prior to
the end of each Agreement year that
they are receiving grant funds. The
Annual Budget Review and Program
Plan will provide a detailed schedule of
activities, estimate of specific
performance objectives, include
forecasted expenditures, and schedule
of milestones for the upcoming year. If
there is an actual or projected project
cost increase, the Annual Budget
Review will include a written plan for
providing additional sources of funding
to cover the project budget shortfall or
supporting documentation of committed
funds to cover the cost increase.
This information will be used to
monitor grantees’ use of Federal funds,
ensuring accountability and financial
transparency in the TIGER programs.
Grantees will also submit reports on
the performance (or projected
performance) of the project on
performance measures that the grantee
and the Government select through
negotiations. The Grantees will submit a
Pre-project Report that will consist of
current baseline data for each of the
performance measures specified in the
Performance Measurement Table in the
grant agreement negotiated between the
grantee and the Government. The Preproject Report will include a detailed
description of data sources,
assumptions, variability, and the
estimated level of precision for each
measure. The Grantees will submit
interim Project Performance
Measurement Reports to the
Government for each of the performance
measures specified in the Performance
Measurement Table in the grant
agreement negotiated between the
grantee and the Government. Grantees
will submit reports at each of the
intervals identified for the duration of

grant agreement negotiated between the
grantee and the Government. The
Grantees will submit a Project Outcomes
Report after the project is completed
that will consist of a narrative
discussion detailing project successes
and/or the influence of external factors
on project expectations.
This information collected will be
used to evaluate and compare projects
and the monitor results that grant funds
achieve, ensuring that grant funds
achieved the outcomes targeted by the
TIGER Discretionary Grant program.

Æ Format/Fields and accompanying
instructions (beyond project ID
information):
1. Executive Summary.—A clear and
concise summary of the current status of
the project, including identification of
any major issues that have an impact on
the project’s scope, budget, schedule,
quality, or safety, including:
• Current total project cost (forecast)
vs. latest budget vs. baseline budget.
Include an explanation of the reasons
for any deviations from the approved
budget.
• Current overall project completion
percentage vs. latest plan percentage.
• Any delays or exposures to
milestone and final completion dates.
Include an explanation of the reasons
for the delays and exposures.
• A summary of the projected and
actual dates for notices to proceed for
significant contracts, start of
construction, start of expenditure of
TIGER Discretionary Grant funds, and
project completion date. Include an
explanation of the reasons for any
discrepancies from the corresponding
project milestone dates included in the
Agreement.
• Any Federal obligations and/or
TIFIA disbursements occurring during
the month versus planned obligations or
disbursements.
• Any significant contracts
advertised, awarded, or completed.
• Any significant scope of work
changes.
• Any significant items identified as
having deficient quality.
• Any significant safety issues.
• Any significant Federal issues such
as environmental compliance, Buy
America/Buy American (whichever is
applicable to this Project), Davis Bacon
Act Prevailing Wage requirements, etc.
2. Project Activities and
Deliverables.—Highlighting the project
activities and deliverables occurring
during the previous quarter (reporting
period), and (2) define the activities and
deliverables planned for the next two
reporting periods. Activities and
deliverables to be reported on should
include meetings, audits and other
reviews, design packages submitted,
advertisements, awards, construction
submittals, construction completion
milestones, submittals related to
Recovery Act requirements, media or
Congressional inquiries, value
engineering/constructability reviews,
and other items of significance. The two
reporting period ‘‘look ahead schedule’’
will enable the Government to
accommodate any activities requiring
input or assistance.
3. Action Items/Outstanding Issues.—
Drawing attention to, and tracking the

PO 00000

Frm 00153

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

progress of, highly significant or
sensitive issues requiring action and
direction in order to resolve. In general,
issues and administrative requirements
that could have a significant or adverse
impact to the project’s scope, budget,
schedule, quality, safety, and/or
compliance with Federal requirements
should be included. Status, responsible
person(s), and due dates should be
included for each action item/
outstanding issue. Action items
requiring action or direction should be
included in the quarterly status meeting
agenda. The action items/outstanding
issues may be dropped from this section
upon full implementation of the
remedial action, and upon no further
monitoring anticipated.
4. Project Schedule.—An updated
master program schedule reflecting the
current status of the program activities
should be included in this section. A
Gantt (bar) type chart is probably the
most appropriate for quarterly reporting
purposes, with the ultimate format to be
agreed upon between the grantee and
the Government. It is imperative that the
master program schedule be integrated,
i.e., the individual contract milestones
tied to each other, such that any delays
occurring in one activity will be
reflected throughout the entire program
schedule, with a realistic completion
date being reported. Narratives, tables,
and/or graphs should accompany the
updated master program schedule,
basically detailing the current schedule
status, delays and potential exposures,
and recovery efforts. The following
information should also be included:
• Current overall project completion
percentage vs. latest plan percentage.
• Completion percentages vs. latest
plan percentages for major activities
such as right-of-way, major or critical
design contracts, major or critical
construction contracts, and significant
force accounts or task orders. A
schedule status description should also
be included for each of these major or
critical elements.
• Any delays or potential exposures
to milestone and final completion dates.
The delays and exposures should be
quantified and overall schedule impacts
assessed. The reasons for the delays and
exposures should be explained, and
initiatives being analyzed or
implemented in order to recover the
schedule should be detailed.
5. Project Cost.—An updated cost
spreadsheet reflecting the current
forecasted cost vs. the latest approved
budget vs. the baseline budget should be
included in this section. One way to
track project cost is to show: (1)
Baseline Budget, (2) Latest Approved
Budget, (3) Current Forecasted Cost

E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM

06APN1

tkelley on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 65 / Monday, April 6, 2015 / Notices
Estimate, (4) Expenditures or
Commitments to Date, and (5) Variance
between Current Forecasted Cost and
Latest Approved Budget. Line items
should include all significant cost
centers, such as prior costs, right-ofway, preliminary engineering,
environmental mitigation, general
engineering consultant, section design
contracts, construction administration,
utilities, construction packages; force
accounts/task orders, wrap-up
insurance, construction contingencies,
management contingencies, and other
contingencies. The line items can be
broken-up in enough detail such that
specific areas of cost change can be
sufficiently tracked and future
improvements made to the overall cost
estimating methodology. A Program
Total line should be included at the
bottom of the spreadsheet. Narratives,
tables, and/or graphs should accompany
the updated cost spreadsheet, basically
detailing the current cost status, reasons
for cost deviations, impacts of cost
overruns, and efforts to mitigate cost
overruns. The following information
should be provided:
• Reasons for each line item deviation
from the approved budget, impacts
resulting from the deviations, and
initiatives being analyzed or
implemented in order to recover any
cost overruns.
• Transfer of costs to and from
contingency line items, and reasons
supporting the transfers.
• Speculative cost changes that
potentially may develop in the future, a
quantified dollar range for each
potential cost change, and the current
status of the speculative change. Also, a
comparison analysis to the available
contingency amounts should be
included, showing that reasonable and
sufficient amounts of contingency
remain to keep the project within the
latest approved budget.
• Detailed cost breakdown of the
general engineering consultant (GEC)
services (if applicable), including such
line items as contract amounts, task
orders issued (amounts), balance
remaining for tasks, and accrued
(billable) costs.
• Federal obligations and/or TIFIA
disbursements for the project, compared
to planned obligations and
disbursements.
6. Project Funding Status.—The
purpose of this section is to provide a
status report on the non-TIGER
Discretionary Grant funds necessary to
complete the project. This report section
should include a status update of any
legislative approvals or other actions
necessary to provide the non-TIGER
Discretionary Grant funds to the project.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:14 Apr 03, 2015

Jkt 235001

Such approvals might include
legislative authority to charge user fees
or set toll rates, or the commitment of
local funding revenues to the project. In
the event that there is an anticipated or
actual project cost increase, the project
funding status section should include a
report on the anticipated or actual
source of funds to cover the cost
increase and any significant issues
identified with obtaining additional
funding.
7. Project Quality.—The purpose of
this section is to: (1) Summarize the
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
activities during the previous month
(reporting period), and (2) highlight any
significant items identified as being
deficient in quality. Deficient items
noted should be accompanied by
reasons and specifics concerning the
deficiencies, and corrective actions
taken or planned. In addition, the
agency or firm responsible for the
corrective action should be
documented. Planned corrective actions
should then be included as Action
Items/Outstanding Issues.
8. Federal Financial Report (SF–
425).—The Federal Financial Report
(SF–425) is a financial reporting form
used throughout the Federal
Government Grant system. Grantees
should complete this form and attach it
to each quarterly Project Progress and
Monitoring Report.
TIGER Discretionary Grant program
grantees will submit an Annual Budget
Review and Program Plan to the
Government 60 days prior to the end of
each Agreement year that they are
receiving grant funds. Grantees should
use the following structure when
preparing the Annual Budget Review
Report.
• Annual Budget Review Report
Æ Frequency: Yearly (60 days before
the end of the Agreement year).
Æ Report covers: Upcoming
Agreement year.
Æ Start: 60 days before first
anniversary of grant award.
Æ End: Once construction is
complete.
Æ Format/Fields and accompanying
instructions (beyond project ID
information):
1. Detailed Schedule of Activities.—
An updated master program schedule
reflecting the current status of the
program activities should be included in
this section. A Gantt (bar) type chart is
probably the most appropriate for
annual reporting purposes.
2. Estimate of Specific Performance
Objectives.—This section will discuss,
what, if any performance objectives of
the project will be achieved over the
course of the upcoming Agreement Year

PO 00000

Frm 00154

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

and note any differences from the
original project plan.
3. Forecasted Expenditures.—This
section will discuss financial outlays
that will occur in support of the project
over the course of the upcoming
Agreement Year and note any
differences from the original project
plan.
4. Schedule of Milestones for the
Upcoming Agreement Year.—This
section will discuss, what, if any project
milestones will be achieved over the
course of the upcoming Agreement Year
and the obligations associated with each
milestone, noting any differences from
the original project plan.
If there are no proposed deviations
from the Approved Detailed Project
Budget, the Annual Budget Review shall
contain a statement stating such. The
grantee will meet with the Government
to discuss the Annual Budget Review
and Program Plan. If there is an actual
or projected project cost increase, the
annual submittal should include a
written plan for providing additional
sources of funding to cover the project
budget shortfall or supporting
documentation of committed funds to
cover the cost increase. To the extent
the annual budget update deviates from
the approved project budget by more
than 10 percent, then work proposed
under the Annual Budget Review and
Program Plan shall not commence until
written approval from the Government
is received.
TIGER Discretionary Grant program
grantees will submit Performance
Measure Reports on the performance (or
projected performance) of the project
using the performance measures that the
grantee and the Government selected
through negotiations.
• Performance Measurement Reports
Æ Frequency: Quarterly (on the 20th
of the first month of the calendar
quarter).
Æ Report covers: Previous quarter.
Æ Start: Once, upon award of grant;
Quarterly, once construction complete.
Æ End: At the end of agreed upon
performance measurement period.
Æ Format/Fields and accompanying
instructions (beyond project ID
information):
1. Performance Measures Narrative.—
Including a detailed description of data
sources, assumptions, variability, and
the estimated level of precision for each
measure.
2. Performance Measures
