PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION
The purpose of H.R. 1500, as amended, is to establish a
program to use anonymized data from third-party entities to
inform infrastructure planning decisions and to improve
transportation management capabilities and efficiency on
Federal-aid highways, and for other purposes.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
Traffic congestion hinders our Nation's economic
competitiveness and adversely impacts Americans' quality of
life. In 2018, the American Transportation Research Institute
(ATRI) estimated that congestion adds $74.5 billion in
operational costs for the trucking industry per year.\1\
Additionally, a 2019 study conducted by the Texas A&M
Transportation Institute (TTI) found that the average American
wastes 54 hours per year in traffic congestion.\2\ Improving
traffic flows increases efficiency and allows Americans to
spend less time in traffic and more time with family and being
productive. H.R. 1500, as amended, requires the Secretary of
Transportation to implement a program to leverage anonymized
third-party data to improve traffic flows and help alleviate
congestion.

COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are
reflected in this report.
NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY AND TAX EXPENDITURES
Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the
report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is
included in this report.
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE
With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of rule
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and section
402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee has
received the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1500 from the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office:
Summary: On May 23, 2023, the House Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure considered multiple pieces of
legislation. This document provides estimates for 12 bills that
were ordered reported.
The bills would, among other things, direct the Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the Federal Maritime Commission to:
Prioritize grant applications for projects
that would improve the resiliency of the supply chain
and revise the permitting process for certain port,
airport, and pipeline projects, with the goal of
accelerating approval;
Change restrictions on the type, size, and
weight of vehicles that can travel on the Interstate
highways; and
Require data collection and new studies
aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of
domestic transportation systems.
Estimated Federal cost: The bills' estimated budgetary
effects are shown in Table 1. This cost estimate does not
include any effects of interaction among the bills. If all 12
bills were combined and enacted as a single piece of
legislation, the effects could be different from the sum of the
separate estimates, although CBO expects that any differences
would be small. The bills' costs fall within budget function
400 (transportation).

CHANGES IN SPENDING SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATION
H.R. 1500, Intelligent Transportation Integration Act:
Estimated Authorization.............................. 0 6 6 6 6 7 31
Estimated Outlays.................................... 0 5 6 6 6 7 30
H.R. 1836, Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act of
2023:
Estimated Authorization.............................. 0 1 1 1 2 2 7
Estimated Outlays.................................... 0 1 1 1 2 2 7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CBO estimates that H.R. 915, H.R. 2948, H.R. 3013, H.R. 3316, H.R. 3318, H.R. 3365, H.R. 3372, H.R. 3395, and
H.R. 3447, would each increase spending subject to appropriation by less than $500,000 in every year and over
the 2023-2028 period.
CBO estimates that H.R. 3316, H.R. 3317, and H.R. 3365 would each affect direct spending by less than $500,000
in every year and over the 2023-2033 period.
Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that the
bills will be enacted near the end of fiscal year 2023 and that
the authorized and estimated amounts will be appropriated each
year. Outlays for discretionary programs are estimated based on
historical spending patterns for similar programs.
As discussed below, one bill would affect direct spending
only and two bills would affect both direct spending and
spending subject to appropriation. CBO estimates that the
effects of each bill on direct spending would be insignificant
over the 2023-2033 period. The other bills would affect
spending subject to appropriation alone. None of the bills
would affect revenues.
Bill that affects direct spending only: CBO estimates that
just one bill would have an insignificant effect on direct
spending and no effects on revenues or spending subject to
appropriation.
H.R. 3317, the Rolling Stock Protection Act, would remove
an exemption from current law that allows a small number of
public transit agencies to procure rolling stock from entities
owned, controlled, or associated with certain countries. CBO
estimates that enacting the bill could change the pace of
spending for amounts previously appropriated for the Federal
Transit Administration's Capital Investment Grants, relative to
current law. (Those amounts could include funds that were
designated as an emergency requirement under the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act.) However, because few transit agencies
would be affected, CBO expects that any changes in spending
would total less than $500,000 in any year and over the 2023-
2033 period.
Bills that affect direct spending and spending subject to
appropriation: CBO estimates that two bills could have
insignificant effects on direct spending and spending subject
to appropriation but would not affect revenues.
H.R. 3316, a bill to amend titles 46 and 49, United States
Code, to streamline the environmental review process for major
projects, and for other purposes, would require DOT to revise
the permitting process for certain port, airport, and pipeline
projects, with the aim of making the process more efficient.
The bill also would require DOT to maintain a database of
projects and to update agency regulations.
Under current law, if an agency fails to meet certain
permitting deadlines, specified amounts of funding would be
rescinded from that agency's account. Because the bill would
expand the number of projects subject to those conditions,
enacting H.R. 3316 could reduce direct spending. CBO estimates
that any effect would not be significant over the 2023-2033
period because of the small number of projects likely to be
affected.
CBO estimates that implementing the bill would increase
spending subject to appropriation by less than $500,000 over
the 2023-2028 period, mostly for administrative activities.
H.R. 3365, the Supply Chain Improvement Act, would direct
DOT to prioritize consideration of grant applications for
projects aimed at improving resiliency in the supply chain,
unless those projects support the use of electric vehicles. In
particular, the requirement would apply to grants under the
Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects
program (known as the INFRA grant program) and the National
Infrastructure Project Assistance program. The bill would
increase the share of INFRA grants that could be used for
intermodal freight rail projects.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provided $21
billion for those two programs over the 2022-2026 period. (The
appropriated amounts were designated as an emergency
requirement.) CBO estimates that H.R. 3365 could alter the
spending patterns for those previously appropriated amounts,
which would be recorded as changes in direct spending. CBO
estimates that, on net, those changes would amount to less than
$500,000 in any year and over the 2023-2033 period.
H.R. 3365 also would direct the Government Accountability
Office to report on the effects of electric vehicles in several
areas, including infrastructure integrity and grid security.
The bill also would prevent agencies from prioritizing any
project seeking to use grants that would support electric
vehicles until a subsequent act of Congress has been passed
allowing such prioritization. Using information about similar
reports, CBO estimates that the report would cost less than
$500,000 over the 2023-2028 period; such spending would be
subject to the availability of appropriated amounts.
Bills that affect spending subject to appropriation by a
significant amount: CBO estimates that two bills would affect
spending subject to appropriation by more than $500,000 over
the 2023-2028 period. The costs for those two bills are shown
in Table 1. Neither bill would affect direct spending or
revenues.
H.R. 1500, the Intelligent Transportation Integration Act,
would require DOT to purchase certain data from public and
private entities to help improve the department's management of
traffic and transportation infrastructure. DOT would be
required to report to the Congress annually on those
activities. Using information from the agency about similar
contracting activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R.
1500 would cost $30 million over the 2023-2028 period, assuming
appropriation of the estimated amounts.
H.R. 1836, the Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act of
2023, would create additional administrative and reporting
requirements for the Federal Maritime Commission, including a
requirement to issue two new regulations and publish a study.
The bill also would establish two advisory committees to assist
the commission in creating policies to ensure competitiveness,
reliability, and efficiency in international ocean shipping.
Using information on similar administrative requirements
and accounting for anticipated inflation, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 1836 would cost $7 million over the 2023-2028
period; any spending would be subject to the availability of
appropriated amounts.
Bills that affect spending subject to appropriation by an
insignificant amount: CBO estimates that implementing the
following seven bills would cost less than $500,000 each over
the 2023-2028 period. None of the bills would affect direct
spending or revenues.
H.R. 915, the Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act,
would create new standards for certain motor carriers that
transport goods, require DOT to update regulations to be
consistent with those standards, and direct the department to
stipulate the method for revoking a motor carrier's
registration.
H.R. 2948, the CARS Act, would require states to allow
certain stinger-steered automobile transporters to operate on
Interstate highways. (Such transporters have a fifth wheel
located below the rear-most axle of the power unit.)
H.R. 3013, the LICENSE Act of 2023, would require DOT to
issue regulations updating the qualifications to be a
commercial driver's license examiner. The bill also would allow
states to administer those tests to out-of-state applicants.
H.R. 3318, a bill to amend title 23, United States Code, to
establish an axle weight tolerance for certain commercial motor
vehicles transporting dry bulk goods, and for other purposes,
would increase the maximum weight per axle that a commercial
vehicle transporting dry bulk goods can carry on an Interstate
highway. The bill would not change the overall gross vehicle
weight limits for such vehicles.
H.R. 3372, a bill to amend title 23, United States Code, to
establish a safety data collection program for certain 6-axle
vehicles, and for other purposes, would create a pilot program
allowing certain six-axle vehicles to be operated on Interstate
highways. Under the bill, participating states would issue
permits by vehicle or by group of vehicles that would specify
acceptable routes and require permit holders to report on
accidents and other details. The program would be discontinued
after five years, although DOT could extend the program for
five years.
H.R. 3395, the U.S. Supply Chain Security Review Act of
2023, would require the Federal Maritime Commission to study
the effects of foreign ownership of domestic marine terminals
on U.S. economic security and report those findings to the
Congress.
H.R. 3447, a bill to amend title 23, United States Code, to
authorize a hydrogen powered vehicle to exceed certain weight
limits on the Interstate Highway System, and for other
purposes, would authorize hydrogen-powered vehicles to exceed
certain weight limits specified under current law.
Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or
revenues. Over the 2023-2033 period, CBO estimates that none of
the bills would increase direct spending by more than $500,000.
Increase in long-term net direct spending and deficits:
None.
Mandates: None.
Estimate prepared by: Federal Costs: Aaron Krupkin (for
Federal Maritime Commission); Robert Reese (for Department of
Transportation). Mandates: Brandon Lever.
Estimate reviewed by: Susan Willie, Chief, Natural and
Physical Resources Cost Estimates Unit; Kathleen FitzGerald,
Chief, Public and Private Mandates Unit; H. Samuel Papenfuss,
Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
Estimate approved by: Phillip L. Swagel, Director,
Congressional Budget Office.
PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(4) of rule
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
performance goal and objective of this legislation is to
require the Secretary of Transportation to implement a program
to improve transportation management and the efficiency of
Federal-aid highways by utilizing anonymized third-party data
to relieve congestion.
DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS
Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, the Committee finds that no provision
of H.R. 1500, as amended, establishes or reauthorizes a program
of the Federal government known to be duplicative of another
Federal program, a program that was included in any report from
the Government Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to
section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program related to a
program identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance. H.R. 1500, as amended, allows for the
Secretary of Transportation to take such actions as necessary
to maximize the effective implementation of the Act, including
by consolidating requirements under the Act within other
activities of the Department of Transportation.
CONGRESSIONAL EARMARKS, LIMITED TAX BENEFITS, AND LIMITED TARIFF
BENEFITS
In compliance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, this bill, as reported, contains no
congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff
benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of the rule
XXI.
FEDERAL MANDATES STATEMENT
The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act (Public Law 104-4).
PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION
Section 423 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974
requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint
resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the
bill or joint resolution is intended to preempt state, local,
or tribal law. The Committee finds that H.R. 1500 does not
preempt any state, local, or tribal law.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT
No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b)
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act were created by this
legislation.
APPLICABILITY TO LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public
services or accommodations within the meaning of section
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act (Public Law
104-1).
section-by-section analysis of the legislation
Section 1. Short title
This section provides that this bill may be cited as the
``Intelligent Transportation Integration Act''.
Section 2. Third-party data integration program
This section requires the Secretary of Transportation to
implement a program that bolsters the efficiency of and
addresses congestion on Federal-aid highways by leveraging
anonymized data, within 180 days. The program is intended to
reduce congestion, decrease miles traveled, increase safety,
improve freight efficiency, reduce wait times at freight
facilities, and enhance environmental conditions.
It also permits the Secretary to enter into agreements with
public and private sector entities, from a variety of
populations and geographic areas, to carry out the program with
the requirements that agreements with data providers be
disclosed to the public, as well as incorporate safeguards for
user privacy. The Secretary must protect consumer data privacy
by preventing reidentification and barring the use of biometric
data, data from electronic logging devices, or automatic
license plate reader data.
The Secretary is also required to make publicly available a
report outlining best practices within three years of enactment
and report annually to Congress.
CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED
As reported by the Committee, H.R. 1500, as amended, makes
no changes in existing law.
