Abstract:
This is a request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renewal for an information collection request (ICR) to enable the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Office of the Secretary (OST) to implement the Thriving Communities Initiative (TCI) and Build America Bureau programs which includes the Thriving Communities program (TCP), the Rural and Tribal Assistance Pilot Program, and the Asset Concession and Innovative Finance Assistance Program. The TCI was authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 2471), enacted on March 15, 2022. The Thriving Communities Initiative is a key component in DOT’s Equity Action Plan that will provide direct, coordinated and place-based technical assistance and capacity building support that enables all communities, particularly those that are under-served and historically disadvantaged, to be able to access funding and programs established in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law).

Short Statement:
The burden hours for the information collection activity increased since we underestimated the response to the TCP NOFO and Letter of Interest. The Bureau programs have been advised by Counsel to issue NCFOs to provide grants directly to localities. With this shift in orientation of the Bureau's program it is estimated that there will be increases in public paperwork burdens.
