SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)

Title: Statement of Materials and Labor used by Contractor on
Highway Construction Involving Federal Funds.
OMB Number: 2125-0033.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Affected Public: Contractors.
Abstract: The form ``FHWA-47 ``Statement of Materials and Labor
Used by Contractors on Highway Construction Involving Federal Funds''
is needed in order to obtain information on the usage of materials and
labor in highway construction. Title 29 U.S.C. 2 authorizes the
Department of Labor to collect the labor-related information using its
own forces or by getting the information from other Federal agencies.
An informal agreement has been reached for FHWA to collect the desired
data for the Department of Labor. This information is used by FHWA for
estimating current material usage and cost distribution on Federal-aid
highway construction contracts to aid in planning for future
requirements based on anticipated program levels. There is also
considerable interest by industry, particularly suppliers of highway
construction materials, for the usage information derived from the
FHWA-47 forms. This data is collected from contracts of $1,000,000 or
more on the National Highway System and is not considered confidential.
The respondent must submit the FHWA-47 form after the project has been
completed.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 7,475.
Number of Respondents: 650.
Address: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer.
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.

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 3, 1997.
Vanester M. Williams.
Clearance Officer, United States Department of Transportation.
