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. Without States reporting on the above
factors, it was 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. The TPM regulations
changed this paradigm and require states to measure condition or
performance, establish targets, assess progress towards targets,
and report on condition or performance biennially (23 USC 150 (e)
and 23 CFR 490.107). The required biennial reports contain
information such as: transportation condition and performance
targets, a discussion of the basis for those targets, progress
toward targets, a historic baseline, discussion of coordination
efforts, reports on freight bottlenecks, other information
applicable or relevant to specific State or region. These biennial
reports allow the assessment of progress in a consistent manner
nationally and allow FHWA to assess if State DOT’s have achieved
significant progress toward meeting their targets, as required by
23 CFR 490.109. The requested revision to the data collection is to
account for the addition of the GHG measure to 23 CFR 490 subpart A
and subpart E.
FHWA has prepared a FRN that
will introduce a new TPM measure as part of 23 CFR 490. This new
measure will expand the data collection requirements for the
program and will introduce a new report that will only be submitted
once.
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
