Title: 500-Series Reporting Guidebook.

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 share this burden. Frequency: Annually. Estimated Average Burden per Response: The burden for each form varies from 4 hours to 380 hours. The estimated average reporting burden per response for the annual collection and processing of the data is 2,462 hours for each of the States (including local governments), the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
