SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Drug Offender's Drivers License 
Suspension Certification.
    OMB Control #: 2125-0579 (Expiration Date: September 30, 2007).
    Background: States are legally required to enact and enforce laws 
that revoke or suspend the driver license of any individual convicted 
of a drug offense and to make annual certifications to the FHWA on 
their actions. The implementing regulations of the Department of 
Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1993 (Pub. L. 
102-388, October 6, 1992) require annual certifications by the 
Governors. In this regard, the State must submit by January 1 of each 
year either a written certification, signed by the Governor, stating 
the State is in compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a written 
certification stating the Governor is opposed to the enactment or 
enforcement, and the State legislature has adopted a resolution 
expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C. 159.
    Beginning in Fiscal Year 1996, States' failure to comply by October 
1 of each fiscal year resulted in a withholding penalty of 10 percent 
from major categories of Federal-aid funds (i.e., National Highway 
System, Surface Transportation Program, and the Interstate Maintenance 
Program) from States' apportionments for the fiscal year. Any funds 
withheld in Fiscal Year 1996 and thereafter cannot be restored and will 
be redistributed.
    This information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goal of 
Safety by promoting safety programs that continually improve highway 
safety by reducing the number of highway fatalities and injuries 
including large trucks and ensuring safe travel on highways.
    Respondents: 50 States and the District of Columbia and Puerto 
Rico.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: The average is 5 hours for each 
respondent which will require 260 total annual burden hours.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

    Issued on: June 18, 2007.

Chief, Management Programs and Analysis Division.
