SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Biennial Performance Reporting
for the TPM Program.
SUMMARY:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:13 May 10, 2021

Jkt 253001

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. It has been
difficult for FHWA to examine the
effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway
program as a means to address surface
transportation performance at a national
level without States reporting on the
above factors. The new TPM
requirements, as established by MAP–21
and FAST Act, change this paradigm
and require states to measure condition
or performance, establish targets, assess
progress towards targets and report on
condition or performance.
State DOTs now must submit biennial
performance reports (23 U.S.C. 150(e)
and 23 CFR 490.107). The information
being requested in the TPM Biennial
Reports has been provided to the DOT
in an electronic format through an
online data form called the Performance
Management Form (PMF). State DOTs
have successfully submitted the
required biennial reports in October
2018 and 2020. Alternative formats will
be made available where necessary. As
part of the rulemaking 1 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: Approximately 2,128 hours
1 2nd National Performance Management

Abstract: VA Form 26–6681 solicits

the extension of credit to an eligible
veteran (38 CFR 36.4301). The fee
appraiser’s estimate of value is reviewed
by a VA staff appraiser or lender’s staff
appraisal reviewer who uses the data to
establish the VA reasonable value (38
U.S.C. 3710(b)(4), (5), (6) and
3731(f)(1)), which becomes the
maximum loan guaranty amount an
eligible veteran can obtain.
Affected Public: Private Sector.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,000
hours.
