SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Heavy Vehicle Travel 

Information System (HVTIS). 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0587. 

Background: Title 49, United States 

Code, section 301, authorizes the DOT 

to collect statistical information relevant 

to domestic transportation. The FHWA 

is continuing to develop the HVTIS to 

house data that will enable analysis of 

the amount and nature of truck travel at 

the national and regional levels. The 

information will be used by the FHWA 

and other DOT agencies to evaluate 

changes in truck travel in order to assess 

impacts on highway safety; the role of 

travel in economic productivity; 

impacts of changes in truck travel on 

infrastructure condition; and 

maintenance of our Nation’s mobility 

while protecting the human and natural 

environment. The increasing 

dependence on truck transport requires 

that data be available to better assess its 

overall contribution to the Nation’s 

well-being. In conducting the data 

collection, the FHWA will be requesting 

that State Departments of 

Transportations (SDOTs) provide 

reporting of traffic volume, vehicle 

classification, and vehicle weight data 

which they collect as part of their 

existing traffic monitoring programs, 

including other sources such as local 

governments and traffic operations. 

States and local governments collect 

traffic volume, vehicle classification 

data, and vehicle weight data 

throughout the year using weigh-inmotion devices. The data should be 

representative of all public roads within 

State boundaries. The data will allow 

transportation professionals at the 

Federal, State, and metropolitan levels 

to make informed decisions about 

policies and plans. 

Respondents: 52 SDOTs, including 

the District of Columbia and Puerto 

Rico. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each of the SDOTs already 

collect traffic data for various purposes. 

In accordance with 23 USC 303, each 

State has a Traffic Monitoring System in 

place so the data collection burden 

relevant for this notice is the additional 

burden for each State to provide a copy 

of their traffic data using the record 

formats specified in the Traffic 

Monitoring Guide. Automation and 

online tools continue to be developed in 

support of the HVTIS and the capability 

now exists for online submission and 

validation of total volume data. The 

estimated average monthly burden is 3.5 

hours for an annual burden of 42 hours. 

The annual reporting requirement is 

estimated to be 6 hours for the States 

and the District of Columbia and Puerto 

Rico. The combined burden from the 

monthly and annual reports is 48 hours 

per respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Total burden will be 2,496 hours. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Certification of Enforcement of 

Vehicle Size and Weight Laws. 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0034. 

Background: Title 23, U.S.C., section 

141, requires each State, the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico to file an 

annual certification that they are 

enforcing their size and weight laws on 

Federal-aid highways and that their 

Interstate System weight limits are 

consistent with Federal requirements to 

be eligible to receive an apportionment 

of Federal highway trust funds. Section 

141 also authorizes the Secretary to 

require States to file such information as 

is necessary to verify that their 

certifications are accurate. To determine 

whether States are adequately enforcing 

their size and weight limits, each must 

submit an updated plan for enforcing 

their size and weight limits to the 

FHWA at the beginning of each fiscal 

year. At the end of the fiscal year, they 

must submit their certifications and 

sufficient information to verify that their 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

61816 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / Notices 

enforcement goals established in the 

plan have been met. Failure of a State 

to file a certification, adequately enforce 

its size and weight laws and enforce 

weight laws on the Interstate System 

that are consistent with Federal 

requirements, could result in a specified 

reduction of its Federal highway fund 

apportionment for the next fiscal year. 

In addition, section 123 of the Surface 

Transportation Assistance Act of 1978 

(Pub. L. 95–599, 92 Stat. 2689, 2701) 

requires each jurisdiction to inventory 

(1) its penalties for violation of its size 

and weight laws, and (2) the term and 

cost of its oversize and overweight 

permits. 

Respondents: The State Departments 

of Transportation (or equivalent) in the 

50 states, the District of Columbia, and 

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: Twice Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each response will take 

approximately 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 4,160 hours. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Preparation and Execution of 

the Project Agreement and 

Modifications. 

OMB Control Number: 2125–0529 

Background: Formal agreements 

between State Transportation 

Departments and the FHWA are 

required for Federal-aid highway 

projects. These agreements, referred to 

as ‘‘project agreements’’ are written 

contracts between the State and the 

Federal government that define the 

extent of work to be undertaken and 

commitments made concerning a 

highway project. Section 1305 of the 

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 

Century (TEA–21, Pub. L. 105–178) 

amended 23 U.S.C. 106(a) and 

combined authorization of work and 

execution of the project agreement for a 

Federal-aid project into a single action. 

States continue to have the flexibility to 

use whatever format is suitable to 

provide the statutory information 

required, and burden estimates for this 

information collection are not changed. 

Respondents: There are 56 

respondents, including 50 State 

Transportation Departments, the District 

of Columbia, the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the

and American Samoa. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: There is an average of 498 

annual agreements per respondent. Each 

agreement requires 1 hour to complete. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 27,888 hours.
