SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, section 2, 109 stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public
comment on information collection activities before OMB may approve
paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.12. On November 10, 2022, FTA published a 60-day notice (87 FR
67994) in the Federal Register soliciting comments on the ICR that the
agency was seeking OMB approval. FTA received no comments after issuing
this 60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT announces that these information
collection activities have been re-evaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.12(c).
Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 30-day notice
informs the regulated community to file relevant comments and affords
the agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication
to best ensure having their full effect. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60
FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the nature of the information
collection requirements (ICRs) and the expected burden. The
requirements are being submitted for clearance by OMB as required by
the PRA.
Title: National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.
OMB Number: 2132-0579.
Background: Transit Asset Management (TAM) is a business model that
prioritizes funding based on the condition of transit assets to achieve
and maintain a state of good repair for the nation's public
transportation assets. The TAM program enables transit agencies to
implement strategic approaches to monitoring, maintaining, and
replacing transit assets. Federal requirements for transit asset
management applies to all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53
funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital
assets. It is a framework for transit agencies to monitor and manage
public transportation assets, improve safety,
[[Page 3777]]
increase reliability and performance, and establish performance
measures in order to help agencies keep their systems operating
smoothly and efficiently. FTA's TAM rule requires transit agencies to
develop a compliant TAM plan, set performance targets for capital
assets, create data and narrative reports on performance measures, and
coordinate with their planning partners. Transit agencies are required
to submit their performance measures and targets to the National
Transit Database.
Respondents: All recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds
that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,915.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 932.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 378,004.
Frequency: Annual.
