SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: National Complete Streets Assessment.
    Background: The Federal Highway Administration is committed to a 
Complete Streets approach that is safe, and feels safe, for everyone 
using the street. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), 
also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Section 11206, 
defines Complete Streets standards or policies as those which ``ensure 
the safe and adequate accommodation of all users of the transportation 
system, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, 
children, older individuals, individuals with disabilities, motorists, 
and freight vehicles.''
    While many jurisdictions across the United States have adopted 
Complete Streets policies directing their transportation agencies to 
routinely plan, design, build, and operate safe street networks for 
everyone, the FHWA would like to establish a baseline inventory both 
the enabling policies and implementation strategies for Complete 
Streets at the statewide level.
    Through the survey, FHWA will assess the capabilities across the 50 
State Departments of Transportation, as well as Washington, DC, and 
Puerto Rico (52 State DOTs) and establish a ``national baseline'' of 
Complete Streets practices. The information collected through this 
assessment will help better understand where FHWA can conduct research, 
develop additional technical

[[Page 24610]]

assistance, and develop tools to improve the implementation of Complete 
Streets at the State level.
    FHWA plans to conduct the survey on a voluntary-response basis, 
utilizing an electronic survey platform. This is planned as a one-time 
information collection, and FHWA estimates that the survey will take 
approximately one hour to complete. The survey will consist of both 
multiple-choice and short-answer question formats.
    Respondents: 52 State DOTs.
    Frequency: Once.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 60 minutes per 
respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Approximately 52 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed 
collection is necessary for the FHWA's performance; (2) the accuracy of 
the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality, 
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that 
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic 
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request 
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended; 23 U.S.C. 134 and 135; and 23 CFR chapter 1, subchapter 
E, part 450.

    Dated: April 21, 2022.
