This database must include specific information about each project such as name, location, sponsor, cost, and to the extent already measured by the project sponsor, cost-effectiveness based on reductions in emissions and congestion. States provide annual reports in each fiscal year on all CMAQ funded projects, including obligations of program funds; descriptions of individual projects; and potential impacts on air quality improvement and congestion reduction. The data provided in the annual reports are available to the public through the CMAQ Public Access System and meet the requirements of 23 U.S.C. 149(i)(1). Information provided in the CMAQ project reporting system is useful for FHWA and FTA planning purposes, as well as for reports to the U.S. Congress. The database is also the official data source for reporting on the CMAQ on-road mobile source emissions performance measure established in 23 U.S.C. 150(c)(5)(B) and under the transportation performance management requirements in 23 CFR part 490. <E T="03">Respondents:</E> There are 51 respondents, including 50 State Transportation Departments and the District of Columbia. There are approximately 2000 project entries per year. <E T="03">Frequency:</E> Once every calendar year to record CMAQ project data from the previous fiscal year, on or about March 1st. <E T="03">Estimated Average Burden per Response:</E> There is a total of 51 annual reports per year on a variable number of reported projects. Each project entry requires on average 15 minutes to complete. <E T="03">Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:</E> Total estimated average annual burden is 500 hours. <E T="03">Public Comments Invited:</E> 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. <E T="03">Authority:</E> The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48. <SIG> <DATED> Issued on: April 29, 2025.</DATED> <NAME>Jazmyne Lewis,</NAME> Information Collection Officer. </SIG> </SUPLINF> <FRDOC>[FR Doc. 2025-07673 Filed 5-1-25; 8:45 am]</FRDOC> </NOTICE>
