The Highway Performance Monitoring
System (HPMS) Field Manual support the HPMS program by outlining
and consolidating the data collection and reporting requirements
for State Departments of Transportation (including the District of
Columbian and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). States are required to
submit HPMS data annually using a web-based portal. The HPMS data
includes information on the scope, condition, performance, usage,
and operating characteristics of the nation’s publicly traveled
roadways. The data is essential to the Federal Highway
Administration and Congress in evaluating the effectiveness of the
Federal-aid highway program and developing forecasts for investment
needs; HPMS data is a key input into the development of the
Condition and Performance Report to Congress. HPMS is also a key
source of data used for the apportionment formulas of Federal-Aid
Highway Funds. Furthermore, the HPMS program is the mechanism by
which Transportation Performance Measures information is
transmitted from the States to the Federal Highway Administration.
The HPMS program is periodically reassessed to ensure that it’s
collecting the most vital data and to reduce, where possible, the
collection burden on the States. This most recent revision of the
Field Manual captures the changes made to the overall HPMS program
with the most recent reassessment.
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
