number and type of interested
stakeholders that have contacted the
Department about this program, OST
estimates that it will receive fifty (50)
applications and fifty (50) letters of
interest and that it will generally not
take applicants more than 100 personhours to assemble individual
applications and 20 person-hours to
assemble individual letters of interest.
Therefore, the total annual hour burden
of this collection of applications is 6,000
hours.
Frequency of Collection: The
Department expects that this
information collection will occur on a
rolling basis as interested entities seek
TIFIA credit assistance.
Background: This is an existing
information collection that was
originally approved through the
emergency approval process on August
7, 2013. DOT will use the collected
information to evaluate and select
recipients for credit assistance.
Applicants may be asked to provide
additional supporting evidence or to
quantify details during the review and
negotiation process on a case-by-case
basis, but completion of the letter of
interest and application.
The application process required of
23 U.S.C. 602(a)(1)(A) begins with the
submission of a letter of interest (LOI).
Only after a project sponsor has
submitted an LOI demonstrating
satisfaction of all statutory eligibility
requirements can the project sponsor be
invited to submit an application. The
LOI must describe the project, outline
the proposed financial plan, provide a
status of environmental review, and
provide information regarding
satisfaction of other eligibility
requirements of the TIFIA credit
program, in each case as indicated on
the LOI form located on the Build
America Bureau’s TIFIA Web page:
https://www.transportation.gov/
buildamerica/programs-services/tifia/
applications. DOT estimates that the
letter of interest would require
approximately 20 hours in each instance
to complete.
If TIFIA determines that a project
sponsor has satisfied the eligibility
requirements described in 23 U.S.C.
602(a), TIFIA may invite the project
sponsor to submit an application. The
information that DOT seeks through the
application includes: Contact
information; project information, project
purpose, cost, TIFIA credit assistance
request, satisfaction of eligibility
requirements, including
creditworthiness, a financial plan,
details of the applicant’s organizational
structure, and such other information as
is indicated on the application form
