Title: ●State Graduated Driver Licensing Incentive Grant 
Abstract: On July 6, 2012, the President signed into law, the Moving Ahead of Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), Public Law 112-141, which among other things, amended the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration´s (NHTSA) highway safety grant program (23 U.S.C. 402) and consolidated other grants into a single grant program, the national priority safety program grants (23 U.S.C. 405). MAP-21 requires NHTSA to award grants pursuant to rulemaking and to establish minimum qualification criteria for the graduated driver licensing (GDL) grant in accordance with the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. In order to meet the statutory rulemaking requirements and to award all grants timely in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, NHTSA must proceed with an expedited rulemaking. Accordingly, NHTSA is taking a two-pronged approach. NHTSA is preparing an interim final rule (IFR) to implement the grant criteria for all of the grants. Simultaneously, NHTSA is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the minimum requirements for the GDL grant with a 20-day comment period. (NHTSA is seeking a separate RIN for the IFR.) NHTSA intends to incorporate the GDL provisions, including addressing any comments in response to the NPRM, into the IFR for all of the grants. The short comment period is necessary to ensure that NHTSA meets the expedited schedule necessary to provide States with sufficient opportunity to apply for FY 2013 and FY 2014 grants.
