Title: 500-Series Reporting Guidebook.
Background: A 500-Series Data Reporting Guidebook provides for the
collection of information by describing policies and procedures for
assembling highway related data from the existing files of State
agencies. 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.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated total annual
burden for all respondents is 29,574 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.
