SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Traffic Incident Management Capability.
    OMB Control #: 2125-0650.
    Background: Each of the over 6 million crashes per year presents a 
safety danger to motorists and responders while often causing delays on 
the nation's roads. It is critical to safety and mobility for these 
crashes to be mitigated as efficiently and safely as possible. To 
address these concerns, dozens of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) 
Programs have been established throughout the country over the past 25-
30 years. Most of the top 75 metropolitan areas and several rural areas 
have some form of TIM Program, often coordinated through a multi-
disciplinary committee comprised of all the response disciplines. The 
TIMSA tool was established to help regions assess the level of TIM 
Program maturity and to identify areas for improvement.
    The information is used by each jurisdiction to better understand 
opportunities for improving safety and mobility in their region. The 
FHWA also uses the data to assess progress of the FHWA national TIM 
program and identify opportunities to help regions improve.
    Respondents: Approximately 60 individuals will complete the 
questionnaire in collaboration with an estimated average of 5 other 
participants.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 3 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 180 Annual 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; and 49 CFR 1.48.

    Issued On: December 4, 2023.
