SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Truck Congestion Information
Assessment.
Background: The Federal Highway
Administration’s (FHWA) ability to
assess congestion is critical for our
national leadership role. Highway traffic
congestion causes an estimated 3.5
billion hours of delays per year in 75 of
the largest metropolitan areas.
The volume of freight, the mix of
goods, and the way they are moved has
changed dramatically and highway
system improvements have not kept
pace with the growth and demand for
freight transportation, resulting in
congestion on our Nation’s highways
and straining other freight modes as
well.
The purpose of this research is to
collect highway congestion information
to assess highway system performance
and validate findings of the report on
bottlenecks produced from Speed,
Highway Performance Monitoring
System (HPMS) and Freight Analysis
Framework (FAF) data.
The selected service provider will
establish, promote, collect and analyze
data from a developed system to provide
easy access 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week allowing the roadway user a
convenient way to report areas of heavy
congestion and bottleneck conditions at
any point in time encountered
nationally on the highway system.
Roadside users can report information
by using an automated phone system or
the internet. The information from the
user will be date, time, state, and
highway route number, direction of
travel, mile marker and weather
condition. The reporting from the
roadside user is voluntary.
Respondents: Approximately 1200
Interstate roadway users daily, with the
majority being truck drivers.
Frequency: Every day for 3 years.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Each response will be
approximately 1 minute.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:56 Feb 25, 2009
Jkt 217001
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 4,380 hours in
the first year, 7,665 the second year, and
9,855 the third year. Totaling 21,900
hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
electronic technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FHWA Laboratory and Field
Research.
Background: The FHWA invites
public comments on our intention to
request the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to approve a total of 30
laboratory/field research studies that
will include collections of information
from the general public. These studies
will be conducted over a period not to
exceed three years with a total burden
of approximately 5250 hours and an
annual burden of approximately 1750
hours.
These collections are integral to the
performance of various analytical, field,
and laboratory human factors research
projects that FHWA plans to conduct in
support of its mission of improving
safety and increasing mobility on our
Nation’s highways through National
Leadership, Innovation, and Program
Delivery.
The laboratory and field research
FHWA conducts often involves
observations of driver behavior. In the
field, these studies are usually
completely non-intrusive. However,
some field and laboratory research
studies require that interview data be
collected from individual persons. For
example, if drivers are participating in
a research study on a novel intersection,
interview data might be acquired from
a subset of drivers to determine what
they observed while driving or how they
made their decisions. In these cases the
interview will be brief (10–15 minutes).
Similar interview data may be acquired
when studies are conducted in a
laboratory setting.
This planned approval request does
NOT include work subsumed under
