The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is requesting an extension of its currently approved information collection related to the enforcement of the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act. To ensure compliance with federal regulations, states must submit an annual certification proving vehicles subject to this tax are properly registered. This process involves reporting and recordkeeping with an estimated burden of 612 hours annually shared by the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The FHWA invites public comments on whether this information collection is necessary and how it could be improved.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Highway Administration wants to keep using some forms that help them make sure big trucks pay their fair share of road taxes. They are asking for more time to keep doing this and want to hear from people on how to make it better.
