SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No: 2125-0579 (Expiration Date: June 30, 2001).
    Title: Drug Offender's Drivers' License Suspension Certification.
    Abstract: States are legally required to enact and enforce laws 
that revoke or suspend the drivers' licenses of any individual 
convicted of a drug offense and to make annual certifications to the 
FHWA on their actions. The implementing regulations of the Department 
of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1993 (Pubic 
Law 102-388, October 6, 1992) require annual certifications by the 
Governors. In this regard, the State must submit by January 1 of each 
year either a written certification, signed by the Governor, stating 
that the State is in compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a written 
certification stating that the Governor is opposed to the enactment or 
enforcement, and that the State legislature has adopted a resolution 
expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C. Section 159.
    Beginning in fiscal year 1996, States' failure to comply by October 
1 of each fiscal year will result in a withholding penalty of 10 
percent from major categories of Federal-aid funds (i.e., National 
Highway System, Surface Transportation Program and Interstate) from 
States' apportionments for the fiscal year. Any funds withheld in FY 
1996 and thereafter cannot be restored and will be redistributed.
    Respondents: 50 States and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico 
1.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: Annual average of 5 hours for each 
respondent; 260 total annual burden hours.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

    Issued on: April 30, 2001.
