This part prescribes the requirements necessary to implement Section 411 of Title 23, United States Code, which encourages States to adopt and implement effective data improvement programs. § 1335.2 Purpose.
The purpose of this part is to improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, and accessibility of the data needed by each State to identify highway safety priorities; to evaluate the effectiveness of these improvements; to link highway safety data systems with other data systems within each State; and to improve the compatibility of the data system of each State with national data systems and data systems of other States to enhance the observation and analysis of national trends in crash occurrences, rates, outcomes, and circumstances. § 1335.3 Definitions.

An assessment shall— (a) Be an in-depth, formal review of a State's highway safety data and traffic records system that considers the criteria contained in the model data elements; (b) Generate an impartial report of the status of the highway safety data and traffic records system in the State; and (c) Be conducted by an organization or group that is knowledgeable about highway safety data and traffic records systems, but independent from the organizations involved in the administration, collection and use of the highway safety data and traffic records systems in the State. § 1335.6 Strategic plan.
A strategic plan shall— (a) Be a multi-year plan that identifies and prioritizes the highway safety data and traffic records needs and goals based upon an assessment; (b) Identify performance-based measures by which progress toward those goals will be determined; and (c) Be submitted to the coordinating committee for approval. § 1335.7 Grant requirements.

A State that qualifies for an implementation grant under §1335.7(c) of this part shall be eligible to receive an amount determined by multiplying the amount appropriated to carry out 23 U.S.C. 411 by the ratio that the funds apportioned to the State under 23 U.S.C. 402 for fiscal year 1997 bears to the funds apportioned to all States under 23 U.S.C. 402 for fiscal year 1997, except that— (1) If the State has not received an initiation or an implementation grant under this part in a previous fiscal year, the State shall receive no less than $250,000; and (2) If the State has received an initiation or an implementation grant under this part in a previous fiscal year, the State shall receive no less than $225,000. § 1335.9 Availability of funds.
(a) The release of grant funds under this part in a fiscal year shall be subject to the availability of funds for that fiscal year.

Project approval and the contractual obligation of the Federal government to provide grant funds shall be limited to the amount of funds released. (b) If any amounts authorized for grants under this part for a fiscal year are expected to remain unobligated in that fiscal year, the Administrator may transfer such amounts to the programs authorized under 23 U.S.C. 405 and 23 U.S.C. 410, to ensure to the extent possible that each State receives the maximum incentive funding for which it is eligible. (c) If any amounts authorized for grants under 23 U.S.C. 405 and 23 U.S.C. 410 are transferred to the grant program under this part in a fiscal year, the Administrator shall distribute the transferred amounts so that each eligible State receives a proportionate share of these amounts, subject to the conditions specified in §1335.8 and paragraph (a) of this section. § 1335.10 Grant limitations.
(a) No State may receive a grant under this part in more than six fiscal years. (b) Grants may be used by States only to adopt and implement effective highway safety data and traffic records programs: (1) To improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, and accessibility of the data of the State that is needed to identify priorities for national, State and local highway and traffic safety programs; (2) To evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to make such improvements; (3) To link these State data systems, including traffic records, with other data systems within the State, such as systems that contain medical and economic data; and (4) To improve the compatibility of the data system of the State with national data systems and data systems of other States and to enhance the ability of the Secretary to observe and analyze national trends in crash occurrences, rates, outcomes, and circumstances. (c) In the first and second Federal fiscal years a State receives a grant under this part, the Federal share of the costs of adopting and implementing an effective highway safety data and traffic records program shall not exceed 75 percent.
