  Subpart B--Application, Approval, and Funding of the Highway Safety 
                                 Program
 
Sec. 1200.10  Application.


    Each fiscal year, a State's application for funds for its highway 
safety program shall consist of the following components:
    (a) A Performance Plan, containing the following elements:
    (1) A list of objective and measurable highway safety goals, within 
the National Priority Program Areas and other program areas, based on 
highway safety problems identified by the State during the processes 
under paragraph (a)(2) of this section. Each goal must be accompanied by 
at least one performance measure that enables the State to track 
progress, from a specific baseline, toward meeting the goal (e.g., a 
goal to ``increase safety belt use from XX percent in 19__ to YY percent 
in 20__,'' using a performance measure of ``percent of restrained 
occupants in front outboard seating positions in passenger motor 
vehicles'').
    (2) A brief description of the processes used by the State to 
identify its highway safety problems, define its highway safety goals 
and performance measures, and develop projects and activities to address 
its problems and achieve its goals. In describing these processes, the 
State shall identify the participants in the processes (e.g., highway 
safety committees, community and constituent groups), discuss the 
strategies for project or activity selection (e.g., constituent 
outreach, public meetings, solicitation of proposals), and list the 
information and data sources consulted.
    (b) A Highway Safety Plan, approved by the Governor's Representative 
for Highway Safety, describing the projects and activities the State 
plans to implement to reach the goals identified in the Performance 
Plan. The Highway Safety Plan must, at a minimum, describe one year of 
Section 402 program activities (and may include activities funded from 
other sources, so long as the source of funding is clearly 
distinguished).
    (c) A Certification Statement, signed by the Governor's 
Representative for Highway Safety, providing assurances that the State 
will comply with applicable laws and regulations, financial and 
programmatic requirements, and in accordance with Sec. 1200.11 of this 
part, the special funding conditions of the Section 402 program.
    (d) A Program Cost Summary (HS Form 217 or its electronic 
equivalent), completed to reflect the State's proposed allocations of 
funds (including carry-forward funds) by program area, based on the 
goals identified in the Performance Plan and the projects and activities 
identified in the Highway Safety Plan. The funding level used shall be 
an estimate of available funding for the upcoming fiscal year.
