The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is seeking public comments on a new information collection request that has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. This effort is part of complying with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information will be collected annually from state and local governments, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, focusing on data like motor-vehicle registration and motor-fuel use. The total estimated burden for this data collection is about 29,574 hours annually. Public input is invited to assess the necessity, accuracy, clarity, and ways to minimize the burden of this information collection.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued a final rule to repeal a previous requirement for State departments of transportation (State DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets and report their progress. This decision was made because the rule was seen as unnecessary and potentially burdensome, with no clear legal backing and minimal benefits. Notably, the courts had already blocked the rule, citing legal and regulatory issues. Repealing this requirement provides clarity and aligns with recent legal decisions, but it doesn't stop State DOTs and MPOs from voluntarily tracking their own CO2 emissions.
