SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: 500-Series Reporting Guidebook.
    OMB Control: 2125-0032.
    Background: A 500-Series Data Reporting Guidebook provides for the 
collection of information by describing policies and procedures for 
assembling highway related data from the existing files of State 
agencies. The data includes motor-vehicle registration and fees, motor-
fuel use and taxation, driver licensing, and highway taxation and 
finance. Federal, State, and local governments use the data for 
transportation policy discussions and decisions. Motor-fuel data are 
used in attributing receipts to the Highway Trust Fund and subsequently 
in the apportionment formula that are used to distribute Federal-Aid 
Highway Funds. The data are published annually in the FHWA's Highway 
Statistics. Information from Highway Statistics is used in the joint 
FHWA and Federal Transit Administration required biennial report to 
Congress, Status of the Nation's Highways, Bridges, and Transit: 
Conditions and Performance, which contrasts present status to future 
investment needs.
    Respondents: State and local governments of the 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American 
Samoa, the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands share this burden.
    Frequency: On an on-going basis as the 500-Series Data Reporting 
Guidebook will be updated annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: The estimated average 
reporting burden per response for the annual collection and processing 
of the data is 754 hours for each of the States (including local 
governments), the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin 
Islands.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated total annual 
burden for all respondents is 42,206 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: September 16, 2024.
