INSTRUCTIONS FOR FHWA TRANSFER REQUEST


The worksheet is designed to reduce paperwork by allowing multiple transfer requests to be submitted simultaneously. Signatures on the transfer request by authorized officials of both the State transportation department and FHWA Division Office indicating approval of the movement of contract authority and/or obligation authority eliminates the need for separate letters to be submitted to headquarters.

The OMB control number for this collection is 2125-0620 (OMB will provide the #).  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to:  Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Highway Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE, Washington, DC 20590.  Expiration date: (OMB will provide the new date)
