SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Title:* Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). *OMB Control Number:* 2125-0028 (Expiration Date: February 28, 2003). *Background:* The HPMS data that is collected is used for management decisions that affect transportation, including estimates of the Nation's future highway needs and assessments of highway system performance. The information is used by the FHWA to develop and implement legislation and by State and Federal transportation officials to adequately plan, design, and administer effective, safe, and efficient transportation systems. This data is essential to the FHWA and Congress in evaluating the effectiveness of the Federal-aid highway program. The HPMS also provides miles, lane-miles and travel components of the Federal-Aid Highway Fund apportionment formulae. The data that is required by the HPMS is continually reassessed and streamlined by the FHWA. *Respondents:* State governments of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, and Virgin Islands). *Estimated Average Burden Per Response:* The estimated average burden per response for the annual collection and processing of the HPMS data is 1,440 hours for the States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; and 20 hours for each of the four territories. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* The estimated total annual burden for all respondents is 74,960 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 estimated burdens;
(3)ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and
