Audit Requirement for Federal Awards.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0520.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of a Previously Approved Information 
Collection(s).
    Abstract: This is to request the Office of Management and Budget's 
(OMB) renewed three-year approved clearance for the information 
collection, entitled, ``Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost 
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'' OMB Control No 
2105-0520. Originally this OMB Control Number was titled: Uniform 
Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements to State and 
Local Governments and with Institution of Higher Education, Hospitals 
and Other Non-Profit Organizations (OMB Circulars A-110 and 2 CFR 215). 
However, on December 26, 2014, OMB issued new guidelines titled: 
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit 
Requirements for Federal Awards and these guidelines cover the 
following data collection standard forms (SF): Application for Federal 
Assistance (SF-424); Federal Financial Report (SF-425); Request for 
Advance or Reimbursement (SF-270); and Outlay Report & Request for 
Reimbursement for Construction Programs (SF-271).
    There have also been adjustments to the burden estimates. In 2010, 
the Department estimated a combined total of 2,704 respondents and 
189,280 burden hours. Due to a 35% decrease in appropriations, the 
Department has

[[Page 52539]]

revised estimates and now has a combined total of 1,758 respondents and 
burden hours of 123,060. The estimated cost to respondents and the 
federal government has decreased by 35% in overhead expenses.
    Affected Public: Grantees.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,758.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 7,030.
    Annual Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 123,060.
    Frequency of Collection: Quarterly and Yearly.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Management and 
Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of the Secretary of 
Transportation, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.
    Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
