Title: Certification of Enforcement of the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax.
OMB Control: 2125-0541.
Background: Title 23 United States Code, section 141(c), provides
that a
[[Page 76623]]
State's apportionment of funds under 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(1) shall be
reduced in an amount up to 8 percent of the amount to be apportioned
during any fiscal year beginning after September 30, 1984, if vehicles
subject to the Federal heavy vehicle use tax are lawfully registered in
the State without having presented proof of payment of the tax. The
annual certification by the State Governor or designated official
regarding the collection of the heavy vehicle use tax serves as the
FHWA's primary means of determining State compliance. The FHWA has
determined that an annual certification of compliance by each State is
the least obtrusive means of administering the provisions of the
legislative mandate. In addition, States are required to retain for 1
year a Schedule 1, IRS Form 2290, Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Return (or
other suitable alternative provided by regulation). The FHWA conducts
compliance reviews at least once every 3 years to determine if the
annual certification is adequate to ensure effective administration of
23 U.S.C. 141(c).
Respondents: 50 State Transportation Departments, and the District
of Columbia for a total of 51 respondents.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The average burden to submit
the certification and to retain required records is 12 hours per
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual
burden is 918 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.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
Issued on: September 13, 2024.
