    Title: Dynamic Highway Messages Signs
    Background: Senate Report 114-243 (accompanying the FY 2017 
Department of Transportation Appropriations Act) dated May 5, 2017, 
contained requirements for a new FHWA Report to Congress about Dynamic 
Highway Message Signs. This report is to include the number of 
motorists exposed to dynamic highway message signs on a daily basis, 
the extent to which States use such signs to support safety activities, 
possible impediment to using such signs for traffic safety, and plans 
for broader deployment of such signs. In order to ensure that all 
requirements are met, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has 
developed a set of surveys that will be distributed to the 51 State 
Departments of Transportation. This survey will be necessary to 
complete the Senate's request for a Dynamic Highway Message Signs 
Report within 120 days.
    Respondents: 51 State Department of Transportation.
    Frequency: One time.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 14 hours per 
participant.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Approximately 714 hours.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

     Issued On: May 24, 2017.
