Transportation Related Programs and Systems.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0236.
    Summary of Collection: Section 1119 of Public Law 112-141, the 
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires the 
Secretary of Transportation to implement transportation planning 
procedures for Federal lands and tribal transportation facilities that 
are consistent with the planning processes required under sections 134 
and 135 of title 23[6]. The section also specifies the collection and 
reporting of data necessary to implement the Federal lands 
transportation program, the Federal lands access program, and the 
tribal transportation program in accordance with the Indian Self-

is vital to establish and/or revise goals and objectives that will help 
improve transportation systems and recreation and resource management 
plans and to facilitate interagency coordination at area, state, 
regional, and/or national scales which will better meet the needs of
