SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Annual Reporting for the Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program.
Background: Section 1808 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users of 2005
(SAFETEA-LU) calls for an identification and analysis of a
representative sample of CMAQ projects and the development and
population of a database that describes the impacts of the program both
on traffic congestion levels and air quality. To establish and maintain
this database, the FHWA is requesting States to submit annual reports
on their CMAQ investments that cover projected air quality benefits,
financial information, a brief description of projects, and several
other factors outlined in the Interim Program Guidance for the CMAQ
program. States are requested to provide the end of year summary
reports via the automated system provided through FHWA by the first day
of February of each year, covering the prior Federal fiscal year.
Respondents: 51; each State DOT and Washington, DC.
Estimated Average Burden Per Response: The estimated average
reporting burden is 6 hours per annual report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The estimated total annual burden
for all respondents is 306 hours.
Electronic Access: Internet users may access all comments received
by the U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL-401, by using the universal resource
locator (URL): http://dms.dot.gov, 24 hours each day, 365 days each
year. Please follow the instructions online for more information and
