Title: Passenger Ferry Grant Program, Electric or Low-Emitting
Ferry Program, and Ferry Service for Rural Communities Program.
OMB Number: 2132-0583.
Background: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) 3-year approval of an extension without
change for a currently approved collection. The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) established three ferry programs to improve and
expand ferry service in communities across the country to help people
connect to jobs and opportunity. The Passenger Ferry Grant Program
makes funding available competitively to assist in the financing of
capital projects to support passenger ferry systems in urbanized areas,
such as ferry vessels, terminals, and related infrastructure. The
Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Program provides competitive funding for
projects that support the purchase of electric or low-emitting ferries
and the electrification of or other reduction of emissions from
existing ferries. The Ferry Service for Rural Communities Program
provides competitive funding to states to ensure basic essential ferry
service is provided to rural areas. FTA collects information from
applicants and grantees to evaluate eligibility, prioritize funding
decisions, and oversee compliance and performance for the three federal
ferry grant programs.
Respondents: Public transportation providers, local governmental
entities, States, and federally recognized Tribes that operate a public
ferry system.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 30 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 420 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Kusum Dhyani,
Director, Office of Management Planning.
