OMB Numbers: 2127-0003; 2127-0600.
Type of Request: Extension to a previously approved collection of information.
Abstract: The Highway Safety Plan identifies state's traffic safety problems and describes the program and projects to address those problems. In order to account for funds expended, States are required to submit a HS-217 Highway Safety Program Cost Summary. The Program Cost Summary is completed to reflect the state's proposed allocations of funds (including carry-forward funds) by program area, based on the projects and activities identified in the Highway Safety Plan.
An occupant protection incentive grant (Section 405) is available to states that can demonstrate compliance with at least four of six criteria. Demonstration of compliance requires submission of copies of relevant seat belt and child passenger protection statutes, plan and/or reports on statewide seatbelt enforcement and child seat education programs and possible some traffic court records.
Affected Public: For the Highway Cost Summary the public is the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Territories, and Tribal Government. For the Section 405 grant program the public is the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas and the Virgin Islands.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 570 and 780 respectively.

A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.
