Abstract: The Reports to Congress require the collection of information on available transportation safety data from Tribes, States, and others. The collection from the Tribes will act to fulfill the consultation requirements as set forth in Executive Order 13175. These reports directly support the DOT Strategic Plan’s Safety goal as it is expected to lead to improvements in the collection and sharing of crash and other safety data by Tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and States. In addition, improving the collection and sharing of the information/data and documenting effective options for improving transportation safety will lead to the implementation of more effective safety project and programs in Indian Country.

Emergency Justfication: Emergency clearance is necessary in order to complete all required work activities, including the conduct of the Survey included in Section 1117(b) of the FAST Act, meeting the deadline for making the report available to congress as required by the referenced section. The language in the FAST Act required consultation be conducted with several federal agencies to most adequately address the report required by the FAST Act. That consultation process is started and ongoing; also, FHWA has identified staff resources to conduct necessary research and interviews as well as develop the report. The work to be conducted includes reaching out to federally recognized tribes and state governments to determine the status of the items listed in the law, receiving responses to the survey questions, reviewing the responses, and incorporating those survey results into the report. Congress has set a deadline in the law of December 16, 2016 for completion of this report.
