Title: Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program.
OMB Number: 2132-0575.
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's Emergency Relief program enables FTA to provide
assistance to public transit operators in the aftermath of an emergency
or major disaster. The program helps states and public transportation
systems pay for protecting, repairing, and/or replacing equipment and
facilities that may suffer or have suffered serious damage as a result
of an emergency, including natural disasters such as floods,
hurricanes, and tornadoes. The program can fund capital projects to
protect, repair, or replace facilities or equipment that are in danger
of suffering serious damage, or have suffered serious damage because of
an emergency. The program can also fund the operating costs of
evacuation, rescue operations, temporary public transportation service,
or reestablishing, expanding, or relocating service before, during or
after an emergency. Congress appropriates funding for FTA's Emergency
Relief Program based on estimates of the funding needed to assist
public transportation providers with capital projects to repair and
rebuild after a disaster and to reimburse them for operating expenses
incurred while preparing for and responding to disasters.
Respondents: Public transit agencies, States, federally recognized
tribes, local
[[Page 60233]]
governmental authorities responsible for public transportation and
other eligible public transportation providers designated by a State or
local government.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 26 responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,680 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
Kusum Dhyani,
Director, Office of Management Planning.
