The Department of Transportation is seeking OMB's approval of modifications to two currently approved ICRs. As part of the modifications to the ICRs, one ICR will be integrated into the other ICR. The modified and integrated ICR will be used to allow entities to apply for Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) and Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (TIFIA) credit assistance using a common set of forms, rather than having a separate set of forms for each of RRIF and TIFIA. The new, integrated forms have also been updated to reflect changes in law, streamlining of the credit programs, and efficiencies in the application process adopted by the Department. However, the general process of applying for credit assistance is not changing; applications are still accepted on a rolling basis. The ICR continues to be necessary for the Department to evaluate projects and project sponsors for credit program eligibility and creditworthiness as required by law.

Cutting Redundancy
The change in burden is a reduction. This reduction resulted from integrating and streamlining the application documents to more clearly describe what is being requested and request only information required to evaluate applications in accordance with statutory criteria. The number of pages is reduced and the number of pages to be submitted should be reduced. In many cases, a hyperlink to pertinent information is requested to be provided rather than a separate document to be attached to the application. Finally, a credit programs guide (see Exhibit D) has been published to the Build America Bureau’s web page on the Department’s web site that explains the application processes for each program and the types of information that is needed. All of these efforts should reduce the burden on the project sponsor applying for credit assistance.
