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 August 12, 2024, FTA published a 60-day notice (89 FR
65707) 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. 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. 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.
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: Survey of FTA Stakeholders.
OMB Control Number: 2132-0564.
Background: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is requesting
an extension without change to the customer service survey of its
stakeholders. FTA is required to identify its stakeholders and address
how the agency will provide services in a manner that seeks to
streamline service delivery and improve the experience of its
customers. FTA is seeking a three-year approval of an existing
information collection that will allow FTA to collect data from transit
agencies, states, tribal governments, and metropolitan planning
organizations. FTA will utilize the survey to assess how its services
are perceived by its customers, learn about opportunities for
improvement and establish goals to measure results. The data captured
from the survey will provide this information and enable FTA to make
improvements where necessary. The survey will be limited to data
collections that solicit voluntary opinions and will not involve
information that is required by regulations. Respondents are split into
two groups. Group A includes Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and other
executive leaders of transit agencies, state DOTs, and other FTA
stakeholders. Group B includes unit supervisors and professional staff
such as engineers, urban planners and budget analysts from the same
organizations. FTA will utilize the survey to assess how its services
are perceived by its customers, learn about opportunities for
improvement and establish goals to measure results. The information
obtained from the survey will provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences and

expectations; provide an early warning of issues with service; or focus
attention on areas where communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of products or services.
Respondents: State Departments of Transportation (DOTs),
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Transit Authorities,
States, and Local Government Units, Indian Tribes.
Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 8,177.
Estimated Total Number of Responses: 8,177.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,022.
Frequency: Biennial.
