Background 

Digital messaging technology created 

a need for a data-link recorder system 

that would ensure the information and 

data necessary for the investigation of 

incidents and accidents continues to be 

recorded on-board the aircraft. It is 

important that these digital messages are 

properly recorded and that the timing 

correlation between cockpit displays 

and other aircraft systems are preserved. 

This proposed TSO prescribes the 

minimum performance standards for 

data-link recorder systems equipment 

necessary to receive, process, record, 

preserve, and retrieve Communication, 

Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic 

Management (CNS/ATM) digital

aircraft to assist in investigation an 

incident or accident.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Title: A Guide to Reporting 

Highway Statistics. 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0032 

(Expiration Date: March 31, 2006). 

Abstract: A Guide to Reporting 

Highway Statistics provides for the 

collection of information by describing 

policies and procedures for assembling 

informational data from the existing 

files of State agencies. The data includes 

motor-vehicle registration and fees, 

motor-fuel use and taxation, driver 

licensing, and highway taxation and 

finance. Federal, State, and local 

governments use the data for 

transportation policy discussions and 

decisions. Motor-fuel data are used in 

attributing receipts to the Highway 

Trust Fund and subsequently in the 

apportionment formulae that are used to 

distribute Federal-Aid Highway Funds. 

The data are published annually in the 

FHWA’s Highway Statistics. Information 

from Highway Statistics is used in the 

joint FHWA and Federal Transit 

Administration required biennial report 

to Congress, The Status of the Nation’s 

Highways, Bridges, and Transit: 

Conditions and Performance Report to 

Congress, which contrasts present status 

to future investment needs. 

Respondents: State and local 

governments of the 50 States, the 

District of Columbia and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Average Burden Per 

Response: The estimated average 

reporting burden per response for the 

annual collection and processing of the 

data is 825 hours for each of the States 

(including local governments), the 

District of Columbia and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

estimated total annual burden for all 

respondents is 42, 900 hours.

2. Title: Highway Performance 

Monitoring System (HPMS). 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0028 

(Expiration Date: April 30, 2006). 

Abstract: The HPMS data that is 

collected is used for management 

decisions that affect transportation, 

including estimates of the Nation’s 

future highway needs and assessments 

of highway system performance. The 

information is used by the FHWA to 

develop and implement legislation and 

by State and Federal transportation 

officials to adequately plan, design, and 

administer effective, safe, and efficient 

transportation systems. This data is 

essential to the FHWA and Congress in 

evaluating the effectiveness of the 

Federal-aid highway program. The 

HPMS also provides miles, lane-miles 

and travel components of the FederalAid Highway Fund apportionment 

formulae. The data that is required by 

the HPMS is continually reassessed and 

streamlined by the FHWA. 

Respondents: State governments of 

the 50 States, the District of Columbia 

and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated average burden 

per response for the annual collection 

and processing of the HPMS data is 

1,440 hours for each State, the District 

of Columbia and the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

estimated total annual burden for all 

respondents is 74,880 hours.
