SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement 
Program.
    OMB Control: 2125-0614.
    Background: The development and maintenance of a cumulative 
database of all CMAQ projects is required by 23 U.S.C. 149(i)(1). This 
database must include specific information about each project such as 
name, location, sponsor, cost, and to the extent already measured by 
the project sponsor, cost-effectiveness based on reductions in 
emissions and congestion. States provide annual reports on all CMAQ 
obligations and de-obligations taking place in each fiscal year. These 
reports include obligations of program funds; descriptions of 
individual projects; and potential impacts on air quality and 
congestion. The data provided in the annual reports and the CMAQ Public 
Access System allows for transparency, showing that the program 
continues to provide incremental benefits through enhanced regional and 
local air quality improvement, and through contributions to congestion 
relief.
    Information provided in the CMAQ project reporting system is useful 
for FHWA and FTA planning purposes, as well as reports to the U.S. 
Congress. The database is also the official data source for reporting 
on CMAQ emission measure performance under the transportation 
performance management requirements in 23 CFR part 490.
    Respondents: There are 51 respondents, including 50 State 
Transportation Departments and the District of Columbia.
    Frequency: Once every calendar year to record CMAQ project data 
from the previous fiscal, on or about March 1st.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: There is a total of 51 
annual reports per year on a variable number of reported projects. Each 
project entry requires on average 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual 
burden is 674 hours. (Based on the most recent ten year average of 
Annual Reporting projects.)
    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.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

     Issued on December 5, 2024.
