SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Biennial Performance Reporting 

for the TPM Program. 

Background: The MAP–21 (Pub. L. 

112–141) and FAST Act (Pub. L. 114– 

94) transformed the Federal-aid 

highway program by establishing new 

requirements for transportation 

performance management (TPM) to 

ensure the most efficient investment of 

Federal transportation funds. Prior to 

MAP–21, there were no explicit 

requirements for State DOTs to 

demonstrate how their transportation 

program supported national 

performance outcomes. State DOTs were 

not required to measure condition or 

performance, establish targets, assess 

progress toward targets, or report on 

condition or performance in a nationally 

consistent manner that FHWA could use 

to assess the entire system. It has been 

difficult for FHWA to examine the 

effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway 

program as a means to address surface 

transportation performance at a national 

level without States reporting on the 

above factors. The new TPM 

requirements, as established by MAP–21 

and FAST Act, change this paradigm 

and require states to measure condition 

or performance, establish targets, assess 

progress towards targets and report on 

condition or performance. 

State DOTs now must submit biennial 

performance reports (23 U.S.C. 150 (e) 

and 23 CFR 490.107). The information 

being requested in the TPM Biennial 

Reports has been provided to the DOT 

in an electronic format through an 

online data form called the Performance 

Management Form (PMF). State DOTs 

have successfully submitted the 

required biennial reports in October 

2018 and 2020. Alternative formats will 

be made available where necessary. As 

part of the rulemaking 1 implementing 

the MAP–21 and FAST Act 

requirements, FHWA evaluated all of 

the Biennial Reporting requirements in 

the individual regulatory impact 

assessments (RIA) and determined the 

following: 

Respondents: 52 State DOTs, 

including Washington, DC and Puerto 

Rico. 

Frequency: Biennially. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 2,128 hours 

annually for an individual State DOT to 

compile, organize, and submit the report 

to FHWA. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 110,656 hours 

annually. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Ways for the FHWA to enhance the 

quality, usefulness, and clarity of the 

collected information; and (2) ways that 

the burden could be minimized, 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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as 

amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
