SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

process of review and analysis of a project, during the concept and 
design phases, by a multidiscipline team of persons not involved in the 
project, that is conducted to provide recommendations for providing the 
needed functions safely, reliably, efficiently, and at the lowest 
overall cost; improving the value and quality of the project; and 
reducing the time to complete the project. Applicable projects 
requiring a VE analysis include Projects on the National Highway System 
(NHS) receiving Federal assistance with an estimated total cost of 
$50,000,000 or more; Bridge projects on the NHS receiving Federal 
assistance with an estimated total cost of $40,000,000 or more; any 
major project, as defined in 23 U.S.C. 106(h), located on or off the 
NHS, that utilizes Federal-aid highway funding in any contract or 
phase; and other projects as defined in 23 CFR 627.5. 23 U.S.C. 
106(e)(4)(iv) and 23 CFR 627.7(3) require States to monitor, evaluates 
and annually submit a report that describes the results of the value 
analyses that are conducted and the recommendations implemented on 
applicable projects. The FHWA will submit a National Call for VE Data 
in order to monitor and assess the VE Program and meet the requirements 
of 23 U.S.C. 106(h).
    Respondents: 52.
