Abstract: This is to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to provide Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance on five information collections associated with the Department's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, four of which were included in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), entitled "Disadvantaged Business Enterprise: Program Implementation Modifications," published on September 6, 2012. See 77 FR 54952. The Department published a correction to this NPRM on October 25, 2012, that included the fifth collection and extended the comment period for 60 days until December 24, 2012. See 77 FR 65164. As announced in a Federal Register notice published on November 13, 2013, the Department subsequently reopened the comment period until December 26, 2013, and held a public meeting on December 5, 2013. See 78 FR 68016. The Department published a Final Rule on October 2, 2014 that finalized, with modifications, the proposed changes in the NPRM, including those related to the Paperwork Reduction Act. 79 FR 59566. The Department seeks to combine all five collections into one OMB Control Number because it believes this will lead to more efficient administration on the part of DOT.
