Title: Planning and Research Program

Administration.

Abstract: Under the provisions of

Title 23, United States Code, Section

505, two percent of Federal-aid highway

funds in certain categories that are

apportioned to the States are set aside

to be used only for State planning and

research (SPR funds). At least 25

annually must be used for research,

government-wide grant management

procedures, a grant application must be

submitted for these funds. In addition,

This includes a scope of work and

budget for activities to be undertaken

with FHWA planning and research

funds during the next one-or two-year

period. The information contained in

the work program includes task

descriptions, assignments of

responsibility for conducting the work

effort, and estimated costs for the tasks.

This information is necessary to

determine how FHWA planning and

research funds will be utilized by the

State Transportation Departments and if

the proposed work is eligible for Federal

participation. The content and

frequency of submission of progress and

financial reports specified in 23 CFR

part 420 are as specified in OMB

Circular A–102 and the companion

common grant management regulations.

Respondents: 52 State Transportation

Departments, including the District of
