ACTION: Notice with request for
comments.
AGENCY:

[Public Notice 8577]

Jkt 232001

The DOT invites the public
and other Federal agencies to comment
on a revision to a previously approved
information collection concerning new
requirements and procedures for grant
payment request submission. DOT will
submit the proposed renewal of
information collection request to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)). This notice
sets forth new requirements and
procedures for grantees that submit and
receive payments from DOT Operating
Administrations (OAs).1 DOT is
updating systems that support grant
payments and there will be changes to
the way grantees complete and submit
payment requests. Simplifying the DOT
grant payment process will save both
the grantee and the Federal Government
time and expense that come with paperbased grant application and payment
administration. Note: At this time, this
requirement is not applicable to DOT
grant recipients requesting payment
electronically through the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s
Grant Tracking System (GTS), the
Federal Highway Administration’s
Rapid Approval State Payment System
(RASPS), or Federal Transit
SUMMARY:

1 The DOT OAs are: Office of the Secretary of
Transportation (OST), Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA), Federal Transit
Administration (FTA), Maritime Administration
(MARAD), National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), Office of Inspector
General (OIG), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA), Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA),
Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation
(SLSDC) and Surface Transportation Board (STB).

should be directed to U.S. Department

Management, B–30, Room W93–431,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Notice of Requirements and
Procedures for Grant Payment Request
Submission.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0564.
Type of Request: Revision to
previously approved information
collection.
Background: This notice sets forth
requirements and procedures for
grantees that receive payments from
DOT OAs, with the exception of DOT
grant recipients requesting payment
electronically through the NHTSA’s
GTS, the FHWA’s RASPS, or FTA grant
recipients requesting payment through
the Electronic Clearing House Operation
System (ECHO-Web). The proposed
procedures provide that—
• Grantees will now be required to
have electronic internet access to
register in the Delphi eInvoicing system.
• Grantees will be required to submit
payment requests electronically and
DOT OAs must process payment
requests electronically.
• The identities of system users must
be verified prior to receiving access to
the Delphi eInvoicing system. Users
must complete a user request form and
provide the following information: full
name, work address, work phone
number, work email address, home
address and home phone number. Once
completed, this form must be presented
to a Notary Public for verification. Once
notarized, the prospective grantee user
will return the form to receive their
login credentials.
• DOT Office of Financial
Management officials may allow
exceptions to the requirement that
grantees register and submit payment
requests through the Delphi eInvoicing
system under limited circumstances.
Recipients may apply for an exemption
by submitting an electronic Waiver
Request Form to the DOT Office of
Financial Management. The exceptions
will be considered on a case by case
basis via Waiver Request Form.
Affected Public: DOT Grant
Recipients.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,000.
