coordinate the development and use of highway safety data and traffic 
records; (2) a systematic assessment of the state's highway safety data 
and traffic records; and, (3) a strategic plan for the continued 
improvement of highway safety data and traffic records.

officials applying for incentive grant funds.

the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Departments estimate of the burden of the

and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
