Section 1401(c) of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to complete a survey and comparative assessment of truck parking facilities in each State. Specifically, the study is required to: (1) evaluate the capability of the State to provide adequate parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate transportation; (2) assess the volume of commercial motor vehicle traffic in the State; and (3) develop a system of metrics to measure the adequacy of commercial motor vehicle parking facilities in the State. It also requires the results of the survey to be made available to the public on a USDOT accessible website.
This is a request to conduct an updated survey. The survey is generally the same, with adjustments made from experience with the 2014 survey to make the process more efficient. Questions were added on whether truck parking facilities include a Truck Parking Information System (a relatively new technology that states have been implementing since the last survey) and whether the state developed a truck parking plan. An additional survey was added for ports, which are major origins and destinations for freight and requiring parking for staging.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
