SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) State Reports for American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act 

(Recovery Act) 

Background: The American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery 

Act), provides the State Departments of 

Transportation and Federal Lands 

Agencies with $27.5 billion for highway 

infrastructure investment. With these 

funds also comes an increased level of 

data reporting with the stated goal of 

improving transparency and 

accountability at all levels of 

government. According to President 

Obama ‘‘Every American will be able to 

hold Washington accountable for these 

decisions by going online to see how 

and where their tax dollars are being 

spent.’’ The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) in concert with 

the Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation (OST) and the other 

modes within the U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT) will be taking the 

appropriate steps to ensure that 

accountability and transparency are 

provided for all infrastructure 

investments. 

The reporting requirements of the 

Recovery Act are covered in Sections 

1201 and 1512. Section 1201 (c)(1) 

stipulates that ‘‘notwithstanding any 

other provision of law each grant 

recipient shall submit to the covered 

agency (FHWA) from which they 

received funding periodic reports on the 

use of the funds appropriated in this Act 

for covered programs. Such reports shall 

be collected and compiled by the 

covered agency (FHWA) and 

transmitted to Congress. Covered 

agencies (FHWA) may develop such 

reports on behalf of grant recipients 

(States) to ensure the accuracy and 

consistency of such reports.’’ 

Section 1512 of the Recovery Act 

requires ‘‘any entity that receives 

recovery funds directly from the Federal 

Government (including recovery funds 

received through grant, loan, or 

contract) other than an individual,’’ 

including States, to provide regular 

‘‘Recipient Reports.’’ 

As the recipients or grantees for the 

majority of the Recovery Act funds, 

States and Federal Land Management 

Agencies (FLMA) are by statute 

responsible for reporting to FHWA on 

the projects, use of Recovery Act funds, 

and jobs supported. States and FLMA 

that receive recovery fund 

apportionments directly from the 

Federal government are responsible for 

reporting to FHWA, and are also 

responsible for reporting quarterly to the 

federalreporting.gov Web site. To 

achieve a high-quality, consistent basis 

for reporting and project oversight, 

FHWA has designed the Recovery Act 

Database System (RADS) for obtaining 

and summarizing data including reports 

to congress, project oversight, and other 

purposes. 

States and FLMA will be responsible 

for providing the data that are not 

currently available at the national level. 

Not every data element required to be 

reported by the Recovery Act needs to 

be specifically collected. To the 

maximum extent possible, FHWA will 

utilize existing data programs to meet 

the Recovery Act reporting 

requirements. For example, for the 

requirement to report aggregate 

expenditures of State funds, FHWA will 

use existing reports submitted by States 

and data collected in the Financial 

Management Information System 

(FMIS). While the reporting obligations 

in the Recovery Act are only applicable 

to the grant recipients, the States and 

FLMA may need to obtain certain 

information from their contractors, 

consultants, and other funding 

recipients in order to provide the FHWA 

with all of the required information. 

Additional information on the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 is available at http://

www.fhwa.dot.gov/economicrecovery/

index.htm. 

Respondents In a reporting cycle, it is 

estimated that reports will be received 

from approximately 70 grant recipients. 

Respondents include: 50 State 

Departments of Transportation, the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, 

the U.S. territories, the following 

Federal Land Management Agencies: 

National Park Service, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife, National Forest Service and 

the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and several
