SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certification of Enforcement of the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax
OMB Control: 2125-0541
Background: Title 23 United States Code, section 141(c), provides that a State’s apportionment
of funds under 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(1) shall be reduced in an amount up to 8 percent of the amount
to be apportioned during any fiscal year beginning after September 30, 1984, if vehicles subject
to the Federal heavy vehicle use tax are lawfully registered in the State without having presented
proof of payment of the tax. The annual certification by the State Governor or designated official
regarding the collection of the heavy vehicle use tax serves as the FHWA’s primary means of
determining State compliance. The FHWA has determined that an annual certification of
compliance by each State is the least obtrusive means of administering the provisions of the
legislative mandate. In addition, States are required to retain for 1 year a Schedule 1, IRS Form
2290, Heavy Vehicle Use Tax Return (or other suitable alternative provided by regulation). The
FHWA conducts compliance reviews at least once every 3 years to determine if the annual
certification is adequate to ensure effective administration of 23 U.S.C. 141(c).
Respondents: 50 State Transportation Departments, and the District of Columbia for a total
of 51 respondents.
Frequency: Annually
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The average burden to submit the certification and to
retain required records is 12 hours per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Total estimated average annual burden is 612 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 14, 2024.

Information Collection Officer.
