SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register 
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of 
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of 
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must 
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR 
1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond,

including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public 
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
    (1) Title: Uniform Safety Program Cost Summary Form for Highway 
Safety Plan.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0003.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Abstract: The Highway Safety Plan identifies State's traffic safety 
problems and describes the program and projects to address those 
problems. In order to account for funds expended under the priority 
areas and other program areas, States are required to submit a Program 
Cost Summary. The program cost summary is completed to reflect the 
state's proposed allocations of funds (including carry-forward funds) 
by program area, based on the projects and activities identified in the 
Highway Safety Plan.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 570.
    Number of Respondents: 57.
