Background: On November 15, 2021, 

President Biden signed the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

(IIJA) (Pub. L. 117–58, also known as the 

‘‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’’) into 

law. The 23 U.S.C. 148 note (135 STAT. 

478) requires the USDOT to update the 

HRRR Study, report and Best Practices 

Manual first completed under MAP–21. 

(b) HIGH-RISK RURAL ROADS.— 

(1) STUDY.—Not later than 2 years after 

the date of enactment of this Act, the 

Secretary shall update the study under

note; Pub. L. 112–141). 

(2) PUBLICATION OF REPORT.—Not later 

than 2 years after the date of enactment of 

this Act, the Secretary shall publish on the

In carrying out the study update, it is 

required to conduct a nationwide survey 

of the current practices of various

published on the Department of 

Transportation website. The report is 

required to include: (1) A summary of 

cost-effective roadway safety 

infrastructure improvements; (2) a 

summary of the latest research on the 

financial savings and reductions in 

fatalities and serious bodily injury 

crashes from the implementation of 

cost-effective roadway safety 

infrastructure improvements; (3) and 

recommendations for State and local 

governments on best practice methods 

to install cost-effective roadway safety 

infrastructure on high-risk rural roads. 

The legislation also requires the results 

of the survey and the report to be used 

to update a best practices manual to 

support Federal, State, and local efforts 

to reduce fatalities and serious injuries 

on high risk rural roads. 

Respondents: The respondents will 

include all 52 State Departments of 

Transportation (including the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico). In addition,
