SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title 1: A Guide to Reporting Highway 

Statistics. 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0032. 

Abstract: A Guide to Reporting 

Highway Statistics provides for the 

collection of information by describing 

policies and procedures for assembling 

highway related 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 formula 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, Status of the 

Nation’s Highways, Bridges, and 

Transit: Conditions and Performance, 

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.

Title 2: Highway Performance 

Monitoring System (HPMS). 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0028. 

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

Federal Highway Administration 

Mississippi Division; Notice To 

Rescind a Notice of Intent To Prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS): Hinds and Madison Counties, MS 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent to 

prepare an EIS. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the 

Notice of Intent published on August 

10, 2007 to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed 

Interstate type facility connecting I–55 

with I–20 through Hinds and Madison 

counties is being rescinded.

(601) 965–4217. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FHWA is rescinding the notice of 

intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) which was to 

study potential improvements to the 

existing State Route 22 (SR 22) corridor. 

This 40-mile long corridor was 

proposed to be upgraded to Interstate 

standards with logical termini on 

Interstate 55 in Madison County and 

I–20 in Hinds County, Mississippi. 

The purpose of the EIS was to address 

the transportation, environmental, and 

safety issues of such a transportation 

corridor. The improved connection 

would improve mobility and access 

throughout the Jackson metropolitan 

area and support economic activity. The 

highway was proposed as a full control 

of access facility, and appropriate 

interchanges will be studied at various 

locations. 

During the first round of public 

meetings, it was determined that the 

public was unanimous in their 

opposition to this project. In addition, 

there is no funding available for the 

construction.

Division Administrator, Mississippi, Federal
