SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Information on Tribal Government Transportation Programs.
    Abstract: FHWA proposes to fund a Synthesis project through the 
National Cooperative Highway Research Program. The project goal is to 
gather information on tribal governments' transportation programs. The 
information will include funding information, staffing, and 
administration of transportation projects and programs. Information 
will also be requested from tribal governments on cooperative projects 
with state and local governments. The information will be used to 
prepare a summary of how tribal transportation programs are funded and 
staffed, and how tribal governments administer programs with the Bureau 
of Indian Affairs, FHWA, and state and local governments. The 
information will be evaluated and best practices will be identified. 
The information will be shared with tribal governments and states for 
their use in developing and enhancing effective transportation programs 
for tribal governments.
    Affected Public: 100 tribal government transportation staff.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: The estimated average burden 
is 2 hours per respondent. The FHWA goal is to get information from 100 
tribal governments at a minimum. The estimated total annual burden is 
200 hours.
