principal sources for Federal and State
highway funding. Under the current
Surface Transportation Authorization,
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act (IIJA), $2 million is available to
make grants for intergovernmental
enforcement efforts, including research
and training. The intergovernmental
enforcement efforts grants are awarded
to State agencies through a competitive
application process from which FHWA
and the IRS make selections based on
the most innovative, intergovernmental
proposals. The States then perform
various tasks, including increased
enforcement, enhancement of data
systems, and coordination with other
State agencies.
The remaining funding may, at the
discretion of the Secretary of
Transportation, either be awarded for
intergovernmental enforcement efforts
grants, or allocated to the IRS for their
enforcement efforts.
While the statute allows for the IRS to
determine the use of their allocations,
they must be used in some fashion
related to the identification and
elimination of highway use tax evasion.
For both the States and the IRS, the
initiatives may include, but are not
limited to, office examinations, refinery
and terminal examinations, and on-road
enforcement in areas such as the illegal
use of dyed diesel fuel by motor
vehicles.
Respondents: There are 51
respondents, including 50 State
Transportation Departments, and the
District of Columbia. While the
applications are open to all of those
organizations, on average, about 16
applications are received each year for
grant requests, some of which include
multiple States, which brings the total
individual projects to around 30.
Frequency: On an on-going basis as
grant opportunities are announced.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: There are an average of 16
applications filed each cycle. It takes
approximately 40 hours to gather the
information and upload it through the
grants.gov system.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Total estimated average annual
burden is 640 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.

for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Transportation Pooled Fund
Excellence Award.
Background: FHWA is partnering
with the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) Research Advisory
Committee (RAC) to further promote
research, innovation, and excellence
through a new TPF Program Excellence
Award.
For more than 45 years, the FHWA’s
TPF Program has enabled public and
private entities to collaboratively
conduct cutting-edge transportation
research. Through the TPF Program,
participants are able to pool funds and
expertise to develop innovative
solutions at a lower cost while
extending the reach and impact of their
research.
The TPF Excellence Award will
recognize outstanding TPF studies that
have made significant advancements in
national research efforts in the areas of
safety, economic growth, equity, and/or
transformative climate solutions. The
future award will highlight the
importance of meaningful collaboration
and partnership in transportation
research. Administered through a
partnership between FHWA and the
AASHTO RAC, the biennial TPF
Excellence Award will recognize one
FHWA-led TPF study and one State
Department of Transportation (DOT)-led
study. Nominations would be received
between February 1 and May 1 every 2
yr. Nomination forms would be sent to
FHWA Division Offices and State DOTs
to solicit nominees.
Award: Any participant in the TPF
program can nominate a TPF study that
is completed and has posted a final
report by June 30 of the year submitted.
The nominator is responsible for
completing the nomination form that
summarizes the outstanding
accomplishments of the entry. FHWA
will use the collected information to
evaluate, showcase, and enhance the
public’s knowledge of research and
innovation conducted through these
TPF projects. Nominations will be
reviewed by an independent panel of
judges from various backgrounds. The
awards will be given every 2 yr. The
winners will be presented awards at the
completion of the process.
Respondents: Any participant in the
Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF)
program can submit a nomination of a
TPF study for the TPF Excellence
Award, including staff from the 50
