SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certification of Enforcement of
Vehicle Size and Weight Laws.
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. 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 annually (1) its penalties for
violation of its size and weight laws,
and (2) the term and cost of its oversize
and overweight permits. Section 141
also authorizes the Secretary to require
States to file such information as is
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
necessary to verify that their
certifications are accurate. To determine
whether States are adequately enforcing
their size and weight limits, FHWA
requires that each State submit to the
FHWA an updated plan for enforcing
their size and weight limits. The plan
goes into effect at the beginning of each
Federal fiscal year. At the end of the
fiscal year, States must submit their
certifications and sufficient information
to verify that their enforcement goals
established in the plan have been met.
Respondents: The State Departments
of Transportation (or equivalent) in the
50 states, the District of Columbia, and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Annually in separate
collections: one certification and one
plan.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Each response will take
approximately 40 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4,160 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
whether the proposed collection of
information in the plan and in the
certification is necessary for the U.S.
DOT’s performance, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S.
DOT’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; (3)
ways 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 or reduced
frequency of collection of the plan,
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.
