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
67996) 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: 49 U.S.C. Section 5337 State of Good Repair Program.
OMB Number: 2132-0577.
Background: 49 U.S.C. 5337, the State of Good Repair Grants Program
authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to make grants to designated
recipients to maintain, replace, and rehabilitate high intensity fixed
guideway systems and high intensity motorbus systems in a state of good
repair. Projects that are eligible for the State of Good Repair Program
funds must be in a recipient's Transit Asset Management plan. Eligible
recipients include state and local governmental authorities in
urbanized areas with high intensity fixed guideway systems and/or high
intensity motorbus systems operating for at least seven years. Projects
are funded at 80 percent federal with a 20 percent local match
requirement by statute. FTA will apportion funds to designated
recipients. The designated recipients will then allocate funds as
appropriate to recipients that are public entities in the urbanized
areas. FTA can make grants to direct recipients after sub- allocation
of funds. Recipients apply for grants electronically, and FTA collects
milestone and financial status reports from designated recipients on a
quarterly basis. The Competitive Rail Vehicle Replacement Grant (Rail
Program) is a discretionary grant program to assist in funding the
replacement of rail rolling stock. The Rail Program (49 U.S.C. 5337(f))
a set-aside of the State of Good Repair Formula Grants Program (49
U.S.C. 5337).
The information submitted ensures FTA's compliance with applicable
federal laws.
Respondents: States and local governmental authorities.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 1,097.
Estimated Total Respondents: 68.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 13,729 hours
