FHWA Request for Reinstatement of Previously Approved Information Collection (OMB Review)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate a previously approved information collection activity. This action is required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which mandates that all federal agencies publish notice in the Federal Register when seeking OMB approval for information collection from the public. The notice signals that an existing FHWA data collection program — which had lapsed or expired — is being renewed rather than newly created. Reinstatement requests typically involve collections that were previously active, had an OMB control number, and are now being continued after a gap in authorization. This is an administrative and procedural action. The public notice provides an opportunity for comment before OMB formally approves the collection, ensuring transparency and compliance with federal information management law.
