SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title 1: A Guide to Reporting Highway
Statistics.
OMB Control Number: 2125–0032.
Abstract: A Guide to Reporting
Highway Statistics provides for the
collection of information by describing
policies and procedures for assembling
highway related data from the existing
files of State agencies. The data includes
motor-vehicle registration and fees,
motor-fuel use and taxation, driver
licensing, and highway taxation and
finance. Federal, State, and local
governments use the data for
transportation policy discussions and
decisions. Motor-fuel data are used in
attributing receipts to the Highway
Trust Fund and subsequently in the
apportionment formula that are used to
distribute Federal-Aid Highway Funds.
The data are published annually in the
FHWA’s Highway Statistics.
Information from Highway Statistics is
used in the joint FHWA and Federal
Transit Administration required
biennial report to Congress, Status of the
Nation’s Highways, Bridges, and
Transit: Conditions and Performance,
which contrasts present status to future
investment needs.
Respondents: State and local
governments of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The estimated average
VerDate Aug<31>2005

reporting burden per response for the
annual collection and processing of the
data is 825 hours for each of the States
(including local governments), the
District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
estimated total annual burden for all
respondents is 42,900 hours.

Title 2: Highway Performance
Monitoring System (HPMS).
OMB Control Number: 2125–0028.
Abstract: The HPMS data that is
collected is used for management
decisions that affect transportation,
including estimates of the Nation’s
future highway needs and assessments
of highway system performance. The
information is used by the FHWA to
develop and implement legislation and
by State and Federal transportation
officials to adequately plan, design, and
administer effective, safe, and efficient
transportation systems. This data is
essential to the FHWA and Congress in
evaluating the effectiveness of the
Federal-aid highway program. The
HPMS also provides miles, lane-miles
and travel components of the FederalAid Highway Fund apportionment
formulae. The data that is required by
the HPMS is continually reassessed and
streamlined by the FHWA.
Respondents: State governments of
the 50 States, the District of Columbia
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The estimated average burden
per response for the annual collection
and processing of the HPMS data is
1,440 hours for each State, the District
of Columbia and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
estimated total annual burden for all
respondents is 74,880 hours.
