Accomplishment Reporting Accomplishment Reporting

ProgramProgram• Phase 1 includes Road Decommissioning (Both System

and Unauthorized Roads) and AOP.• We will likely have to move toward mandating use of

the Road Maintenance Planning Module (RMP) in the next few years.

• System Road Decommissioning is relatively easy – if we use RMP.

• Unauthorized roads are not required to be entered into Infra, nor placed on the GIS coverage.

• Watershed folks are tracking this in the Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) system.

• We need to work with watershed folks so we’re not duplicating effort.o They may already be putting these in GIS.o Consider allowing them to enter the tabular data in Infra.

New Road Use Permit & Application New Road Use Permit & Application

FormForm• Need for a permit to allow for:

o Use of a Road, Trail or Area not designated for use on an MVUM or closed by order. Fire closure, mineral use, etc

o Oversize or overweight vehicles.o Non-Federal Commercial Useo Maintain or plow snow on an NFSR

• Permit Application Formso FS-7700-40 Application For a Permit for Use of Roads, Trails and Areas

Restricted by Regulation or Order (Base Application)o FS-7700-40a Commercial Use Attachment o FS-7700-40b Oversize Vehicle Attachment. State or local forms can also be

used.

• Permit Formso FS-7700-41 Non-Federal Commercial Road Use Permit.

• Non-Federal Commercial Use• Maintaining or Plowing snow on an NFSR

o FS-7700-48 Permit for Use of Roads, Trails and Areas Restricted by Regulation or Order.

• All other uses.

• OMB requires count of Forms completed. o Hoping e-forms will do this for us.o May need to require Regions to send us numbers starting next year.


24

New Random Sample New Random Sample

MethodologyMethodology• For the last few years we have reporting DM on

just Passenger Car Roads• Sean Puckett with the Volpe Center helped

develop a new methodology for this.• Only Sample Passenger Car Roads.• 340 segments• Stratified by Region based on proportion of PC

system in that region.
