SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: State Transportation Roadway Innovation Deployment
Excellence (STRIDE) Program Proposals, Annual Reports, and Final
Reports.
Background: The proposed State Transportation Roadway Innovation
Deployment Excellence (STRIDE) Program would be administered by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Technology and
Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP), authorized by 23 U.S.C. 503(c).
TIDP supports the implementation and adoption of innovations across
highway transportation, including planning, financing, operations,
structures, rights-of-way, materials, pavements, environmental
activities, construction, and project delivery. Subject to final
program approval and the availability of funds, the STRIDE Program will
make TIDP funding available to accelerate the implementation and
adoption of the following:
<bullet> Innovations promoted under Every Day Counts Round 8 (EDC-
8); and
<bullet> Other nationally significant highway innovations
consistent with the U.S. Department of Transportation's strategic
priorities and applicable statutory requirements.
Respondents: Eligible applicants and recipients are the
transportation departments or equivalent transportation agencies of the
50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Metropolitan
planning organizations, local governments, Tribal governments, Federal
Land Management Agencies, and other entities may participate as
subrecipients through an eligible State DOT, subject to the
requirements set forth in the final STRIDE program guidance. The State
DOT would remain the direct applicant and recipient of federal-aid
funds. FHWA estimates that about 35 applicants would submit project
proposals in each application cycle.
Frequency: Applicants would submit project proposals during the
established STRIDE application period. Selected recipients are required
to submit an annual progress report for each active project and one
final report following project completion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: FHWA estimates an average
burden of:
<bullet> 10 hours to prepare and submit each project proposal;
[[Page 58523]]
<bullet> 10 hours annually for project administration and annual
progress reports; and
<bullet> 40 hours to prepare and submit each final project report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Assuming 35 eligible
applicants, the estimated annual burden would be:
<bullet> Project proposals: 35 x 10 hours = 350 hours.
<bullet> Annual reporting and project administration: 35 x 10 hours
= 350 hours.
<bullet> Final reports, assuming approximately one-half of the
projects are completed annually: 17.5 x 20 hours = 350 hours.
For an estimated total annual burden of 1,050 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 10, 2026.

Information Collection Officer.
