SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Truck Congestion Information 

Assessment. 

Background: The Federal Highway 

Administration’s (FHWA) ability to 

assess congestion is critical for our 

national leadership role. Highway traffic 

congestion causes an estimated 3.5 

billion hours of delays per year in 75 of 

the largest metropolitan areas. 

The volume of freight, the mix of 

goods, and the way they are moved has 

changed dramatically and highway 

system improvements have not kept 

pace with the growth and demand for 

freight transportation, resulting in 

congestion on our Nation’s highways 

and straining other freight modes as 

well. 

The purpose of this research is to 

collect highway congestion information 

to assess highway system performance 

and validate findings of the report on 

bottlenecks produced from Speed, 

Highway Performance Monitoring 

System (HPMS) and Freight Analysis 

Framework (FAF) data. 

The selected service provider will 

establish, promote, collect and analyze 

data from a developed system to provide 

easy access 24 hours a day, 7 days a 

week allowing the roadway user a 

convenient way to report areas of heavy 

congestion and bottleneck conditions at 

any point in time encountered 

nationally on the highway system. 

Roadside users can report information 

by using an automated phone system or 

the internet. The information from the 

user will be date, time, state, and 

highway route number, direction of 

travel, mile marker and weather 

condition. The reporting from the 

roadside user is voluntary. 

Respondents: Approximately 1200 

Interstate roadway users daily, with the 

majority being truck drivers. 

Frequency: Every day for 3 years. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each response will be 

approximately 1 minute. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 4,380 hours in 

the first year, 7,665 the second year, and 

9,855 the third year. Totaling 21,900 

hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FHWA Laboratory and Field 

Research. 

Background: The FHWA invites 

public comments on our intention to 

request the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) to approve a total of 30 

laboratory/field research studies that 

will include collections of information 

from the general public. These studies 

will be conducted over a period not to 

exceed three years with a total burden 

of approximately 5250 hours and an 

annual burden of approximately 1750 

hours. 

These collections are integral to the 

performance of various analytical, field, 

and laboratory human factors research 

projects that FHWA plans to conduct in 

support of its mission of improving 

safety and increasing mobility on our 

Nation’s highways through National 

Leadership, Innovation, and Program 

Delivery. 

The laboratory and field research 

FHWA conducts often involves 

observations of driver behavior. In the 

field, these studies are usually 

completely non-intrusive. However, 

some field and laboratory research 

studies require that interview data be 

collected from individual persons. For 

example, if drivers are participating in 

a research study on a novel intersection, 

interview data might be acquired from 

a subset of drivers to determine what 

they observed while driving or how they 

made their decisions. In these cases the 

interview will be brief (10–15 minutes). 

Similar interview data may be acquired 

when studies are conducted in a 

laboratory setting. 

This planned approval request does 

NOT include work subsumed under
