SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Transportation Performance Management Biennial Report.
    OMB Control: 2125-0656
    Background: The MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141) and FAST Act (Pub. L. 114-
94) transformed the Federal-aid highway program by establishing new 
requirements for transportation performance management (TPM) to ensure 
the most efficient investment of Federal transportation funds. Prior to 
MAP-21, there were no explicit requirements for State DOTs to 
demonstrate how their transportation program supported national 
performance outcomes. State DOTs were not required to measure condition 
or performance, establish targets, assess progress toward targets, or 
report on condition or performance in a nationally consistent manner 
that FHWA could use to assess the entire system. Prior to the 
requirement to report these factors, it was difficult for FHWA to 
examine the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program as a means 
to address surface transportation performance. The TPM requirements, as 
established by MAP-21 and FAST Act, require States to measure condition 
or performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets and 
report on condition and performance.
    State DOTs must submit biennial performance reports (23 U.S.C. 
150(e) and 23 CFR 490.107). The information is provided to the DOT in 
an electronic format through an online data form called the Performance 
Management Form (PMF). Alternative formats are made available where 
necessary. As part of the rulemaking\s\ implementing the MAP-21 and 
FAST Act requirements, FHWA evaluated all of the Biennial Reporting 
requirements in the individual regulatory impact assessments (RIA) and 
determined the following:
    Respondents: 52 State DOTs, including Washington DC and Puerto 
Rico.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2,040.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 106,080.
    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: August 21, 2026.

Information Collection Officer.
