Acting under the authority of and in

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001, as amended by Executive Order

States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

Section 10 of Executive Order 13224 

that ‘‘prior notice to persons determined 

to be subject to the Order who might 

have a constitutional presence in the

the blocking and other measures 

authorized in the Order because of the 

ability to transfer funds 

instantaneously,’’ I determine that no 

prior notice needs to be provided to any 

person subject to this determination 

who might have a constitutional 

presence in the United States, because 

to do so would render ineffectual the 

measures authorized in the Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Assessment and Delivery of 

Safety Funding at the Local Level. 

Type of request: New information 

collection requirement. 

Background: The Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient, Transportation 

Equity Act: A Legacy for Users 

(SAFETEA–LU), 23 U.S.C. 148, 

established the Highway Safety 

Improvement Program (HSIP) as a core 

federal-aid highway program. The 

overall purpose of this program is to 

achieve a significant reduction in traffic 

fatalities and serious injuries on all 

public roads through the 

implementation of infrastructure-related 

highway safety improvements. Using 

federal and state funds to assist local 

agencies in improving safety on local 

roads is critical for reducing fatalities 

and serious injuries. However, state and 

local agencies face many challenges and 

barriers when identifying, prioritizing, 

developing, and implementing safety 

projects on local roads. 

The requested information collection, 

in the form of an on-line survey tool, 

will be used to evaluate the extent, 

practices and processes state 

departments of transportation (DOTs) 

use to deliver or apply safety funding 

resources to local agencies for road 

safety improvement projects. The survey 

will also help identify challenges and 

barriers state DOTs and local agencies 

face when developing and 

implementing local road safety projects. 

Survey respondents will be asked to 

provide information about training, 

technical support, and human resources 

provided to, or on behalf of local 

agencies, to assist in the identification, 

analysis, development, evaluation, and 

implementation of local road safety 

improvement projects. Respondents will 

also be asked to identify any challenges 

or barriers states and local agencies face 

when attempting to provide funding and 

other resources for local road safety 

projects. 

Certain survey respondents will also 

be asked to provide feedback on federal 

or state fiscal year expenditures applied 

to local road safety improvement 

projects over a three-year period and 

any methodologies used to identify a 

specific dollar amount or percentage of 

funds set aside for those local road 

safety improvement projects. 

The information will allow FHWA to 

assess the extent to which states are 

providing funds to local agencies for 

safety projects, and to identify human 

resources and technical assistance states 

need in order to overcome barriers and 

challenges to developing and 

implementing local road safety 

improvement projects. The survey will 

also help FHWA identify noteworthy 

practices that can be implemented in 

other states, with the ultimate goal of 

improving highway safety outcomes 

across the Nation. 

Respondents: State DOTs. 

Frequency: one time. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 5 hours.
