SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement
Program.
OMB Control: 2125-0614.
Background: The development and maintenance of a cumulative
database of all CMAQ projects is required by 23 U.S.C. 149(i)(1). This
database must include specific information about each project such as
name, location, sponsor, cost, and to the extent already measured by
the project sponsor, cost-effectiveness based on reductions in
emissions and congestion. States provide annual reports on all CMAQ
obligations and de-obligations taking place in each fiscal year. These
reports include obligations of program funds; descriptions of
individual projects; and potential impacts on air quality and
congestion. The data provided in the annual reports and the CMAQ Public
Access System allows for transparency, showing that the program
continues to provide incremental benefits through enhanced regional and
local air quality improvement, and through contributions to congestion
relief.
Information provided in the CMAQ project reporting system is useful
for FHWA and FTA planning purposes, as well as reports to the U.S.
Congress. The database is also the official data source for reporting
on CMAQ emission measure performance under the transportation
performance management requirements in 23 CFR part 490.
Respondents: There are 51 respondents, including 50 State
Transportation Departments and the District of Columbia.
Frequency: Once every calendar year to record CMAQ project data
from the previous fiscal, on or about March 1st.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: There is a total of 51
annual reports per year on a variable number of reported projects. Each
project entry requires on average 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual
burden is 674 hours. (Based on the most recent ten year average of
Annual Reporting projects.)
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this
[[Page 99324]]
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 December 5, 2024.

Information Collection Officer.
