SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Fixed Residential Moving Cost 

Schedule. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0616. 

Background: Relocation assistance 

payments to owners and tenants who 

move personal property for a Federal or 

federally-assisted program or project are 

governed by the Uniform Relocation 

Assistance and Real Property 

Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as 

amended (Uniform Act). 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 24 is the 

implementing regulation for the 

Uniform Act. 49 CFR 24.301 addresses 

payments for actual and reasonable 

moving and related expenses. The fixed 

residential moving cost schedule is an 

administrative alternative to 

reimbursement of actual moving costs. 

This option provides flexibility for the 

agency and affected property owners 

and tenants. The FHWA requests the 

State Departments of Transportation 

(State DOTs) to analyze moving cost 

data periodically to assure that the fixed 

residential moving cost schedules 

accurately reflect reasonable moving 

and related expenses. The regulation 

allows State DOTs flexibility in 

determining how to collect the cost data 

in order to reduce the burden of 

government regulation. Updated State 

fixed residential moving costs are 

submitted to the FHWA electronically. 

Respondents: State Departments of 

Transportation (52, including the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico). 

Frequency: Once every 3 years. 

Estimated Average Burden Per 

Response: 24 hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 24 hours for each of the 52 State 

Departments of Transportation. The 

total is 1,248 burden hours, once every 

3 years, or 416 hours annually. 

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: Drug Offender’s Drivers License 

Suspension Certification. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0579. 

Background: 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 (Pub. L. 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 resulted in a withholding 

penalty of 10 percent from major 

categories of Federal-aid funds (i.e., 

National Highway System, Surface 

Transportation Program and the 

Interstate Maintenance Program) from 

States’ apportionments for the fiscal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Motorcycle Crash Causation 

Study and Pilot Motorcycle Crash 

Causes and Outcomes Study. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0619. 

Background: Motorcycle injuries and 

fatalities have increased every year 

since 2003 in the United States. Per 

vehicle mile traveled motorcyclists were 

about 32 times more likely to die, and 

6 times more likely to be injured in a 

motor vehicle crash than were passenger 

car occupants. This data shows that the 

motorcycle crash problem is becoming 

more severe.1 Congress has recognized 

this problem and directed the 

Department of Transportation to 

conduct research that will provide a 

better understanding of the causes of 

motorcycle crashes. Specifically, in 

Section 5511 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

Public Law 109–59, Congress directed 

the Secretary of Transportation to 

provide grants to the Oklahoma 

Transportation Center (OTC) for the 

purpose of conducting a comprehensive, 

in-depth motorcycle crash causation 

study that employs the common 

international methodology for in-depth 

motorcycle crash investigation 

developed by the Organization for 

Economic Cooperation and 

Development (OECD).2 The Secretary of 

Transportation delegated authority to 

FHWA for the Motorcycle Crash 

Causation Grants under Section 5511 

(71 FR 30831). 

Proposed Data Acquisition 

Methodology 

Use of Parallel and Complementary 

Procedures 

The OECD describes two 

complementary procedures to be 

performed for acquiring the data needed 

to understand the causes of motorcycle 

crashes. The first of these is the 

traditional in-depth crash investigation 

that focuses on the sequence of events 

leading up to the crash, and on the 

motorcycle, rider, and environmental 

characteristics that may have been 

relevant to the crash. The second 

procedure, known as the case-control 

procedure, complements the first. It 

requires the acquisition of matched 

control data to allow for a determination 

of the extent to which rider and driver 

characteristics, and pre-crash factors 

observed in the crash vehicles, are 

present in similarly-at-risk control 

vehicles. 

Such a dual approach offers specific 

advantages to the understanding of 

crashes and the development of 

countermeasures. The in-depth study of 

the crash by itself allows for analysis of 

the events antecedent to the crash, some 

of which, if removed or altered, could 

result in a change in subsequent events 

that would have led to a non-crash, or 

reduced crash severity outcome. For 

example, an in-depth crash 

investigation may reveal that an 

automobile approaching an intersection 

was in a lane designated for straight 

through traffic only, but the motorist 

proceeded to make a left turn from that 

lane into the path of an oncoming 

motorcycle. That finding can, by itself, 

be used to develop countermeasures, 

and does not require matched control 

data. However, acquiring matched 

control data from similarly-at-risk riders 

and drivers provides additional critical 

information about crash causes that 

cannot be obtained if only crashes are 

examined. The main purpose of 

acquiring matched data is to allow for 

inferences to be made regarding risk 

factors for crash causes. A brief 

explanation is provided here so that 

those less familiar with case-control 

procedures will understand the 

advantage of acquiring controls.3
