SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Surface Transportation 

Environment and Planning (STEP) 

Cooperative Research Program. 

Background: Section 5207 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users of 2005 (SAFETEA–LU) 

established a new cooperative research 

program for environment and planning 

research in section 507 of Title 23, 

United States Code, Highways (23 

U.S.C. 507). The general objective of the 

STEP is to improve understanding of the 

complex relationship between surface 

transportation, planning, and the 

environment. The FHWA anticipates 

that the STEP program will provide 

resources for national research on issues 

related to planning, environment and 

realty. These resources are likely to be 

included in future surface 

transportation legislation. The research 

program established under this section 

shall ensure that stakeholders are 

involved in the governance of the 

program, at the executive, overall 

program, and technical levels, through 

the use of expert panels and 

committees. FHWA will be collecting 

feedback via a STEP website on the 18 

emphasis areas. This information will 

be used to identify potential research for 

an annual Research Plan. 

The number of stakeholders with an 

interest in environment and planning 

research includes three groups: 

I—Federal Agencies and Tribal 

Governments 

II—State and Local Governments 

III—Nongovernmental Transportation 

and Environmental Stakeholders 

Respondents: An estimated 270 

participants annually for a total of 

approximately 810 participants during 

the three-year period while the OMB 

clearance is in effect. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 30 minutes each year. Due to 

the specialized nature of the 18 

emphasis areas, most commenters will 

provide input in only one area. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 135 hours 

annually (405 hours total for the threeyear period). 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the U.S. 

DOT’s performance, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S. 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the collected information; 

and (4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.
