SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Heavy Vehicle Travel
Information System (HVTIS).
OMB Control Number: 2125–0587.
Background: Title 49, United States
Code, section 301, authorizes the DOT
to collect statistical information relevant
to domestic transportation. The FHWA
is continuing to develop the HVTIS to
house data that will enable analysis of
the amount and nature of truck travel at
the national and regional levels. The
information will be used by the FHWA
and other DOT agencies to evaluate
changes in truck travel in order to assess
impacts on highway safety; the role of
travel in economic productivity;
impacts of changes in truck travel on
infrastructure condition; and
maintenance of our Nation’s mobility
while protecting the human and natural
environment. The increasing
dependence on truck transport requires
that data be available to better assess its
overall contribution to the Nation’s
well-being. In conducting the data
collection, the FHWA will be requesting
that State Departments of
Transportations (SDOTs) provide
reporting of traffic volume, vehicle
classification, and vehicle weight data
which they collect as part of their
existing traffic monitoring programs,
including other sources such as local
governments and traffic operations.
States and local governments collect

Jkt 223001
traffic volume, vehicle classification
data, and vehicle weight data
throughout the year using weigh-inmotion devices. The data should be
representative of all public roads within
State boundaries. The data will allow
transportation professionals at the
Federal, State, and metropolitan levels
to make informed decisions about
policies and plans.
Respondents: 52 SDOTs, including
the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Each of the SDOTs already
collect traffic data for various purposes.
In accordance with 23 USC 303, each
State has a Traffic Monitoring System in
place so the data collection burden
relevant for this notice is the additional
burden for each State to provide a copy
of their traffic data using the record
formats specified in the Traffic
Monitoring Guide. Automation and
online tools continue to be developed in
support of the HVTIS and the capability
now exists for online submission and
validation of total volume data. The
estimated average monthly burden is 3.5
hours for an annual burden of 42 hours.
The annual reporting requirement is
estimated to be 6 hours for the States
and the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico. The combined burden from the
monthly and annual reports is 48 hours
per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Total burden will be 2,496 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certification of Enforcement of
Vehicle Size and Weight Laws.
OMB Control Number: 2125–0034.
Background: Title 23, U.S.C., section
141, requires each State, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico to file an
annual certification that they are
enforcing their size and weight laws on
Federal-aid highways and that their
Interstate System weight limits are
consistent with Federal requirements to
be eligible to receive an apportionment
of Federal highway trust funds. Section
141 also authorizes the Secretary to
require States to file such information as
is necessary to verify that their
certifications are accurate. To determine
whether States are adequately enforcing
their size and weight limits, each must
submit an updated plan for enforcing
their size and weight limits to the
FHWA at the beginning of each fiscal
year. At the end of the fiscal year, they
must submit their certifications and
sufficient information to verify that their

enforcement goals established in the
plan have been met. Failure of a State
to file a certification, adequately enforce
its size and weight laws and enforce
weight laws on the Interstate System
that are consistent with Federal
requirements, could result in a specified
reduction of its Federal highway fund
apportionment for the next fiscal year.
In addition, section 123 of the Surface
Transportation Assistance Act of 1978
(Pub. L. 95–599, 92 Stat. 2689, 2701)
requires each jurisdiction to inventory
(1) its penalties for violation of its size
and weight laws, and (2) the term and
cost of its oversize and overweight
permits.
Respondents: The State Departments
of Transportation (or equivalent) in the
50 states, the District of Columbia, and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Twice Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Each response will take
approximately 40 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,160 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Preparation and Execution of
the Project Agreement and
Modifications.
OMB Control Number: 2125–0529
Background: Formal agreements
between State Transportation
Departments and the FHWA are
required for Federal-aid highway
projects. These agreements, referred to
as ‘‘project agreements’’ are written
contracts between the State and the
Federal government that define the
extent of work to be undertaken and
commitments made concerning a
highway project. Section 1305 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (TEA–21, Pub. L. 105–178)
amended 23 U.S.C. 106(a) and
combined authorization of work and
execution of the project agreement for a
Federal-aid project into a single action.
States continue to have the flexibility to
use whatever format is suitable to
provide the statutory information
required, and burden estimates for this
information collection are not changed.
Respondents: There are 56
respondents, including 50 State
Transportation Departments, the District
of Columbia, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the
