SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Drug Offender's Drivers License Suspension Certification
    OMB Control #: 2125-0579.
    Background: States are legally required to enact and enforce laws 
that revoke or suspend the drivers licenses 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 
that the State is in compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a written 
certification stating that the Governor is opposed to the enactment or 
enforcement, and that the State legislature has adopted a resolution 
expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C. Section 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.
    Respondents: Each of the 50 SDOTs, the District of Columbia, and 
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Annual average of 5 hours 
for each respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 260 total annual burden 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 
the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality, 
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that 
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic 
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request 
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.

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

    Issued on: June 25, 2015.
