Title: 49 U.S.C. 5310 Capital Assistance Program for Elderly
Persons and Persons with Disabilities & Section 5311 Nonurbanized Area
Formula Program.
OMB Number: 2132-0500.
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 49 U.S.C. 5310 Capital
Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities &
Section 5311 information collection is comprised of two programs that
provide financial assistance in meeting the transportation needs of
seniors and individuals with disabilities where public transportation
services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate. The Section
5310 program (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with
Disabilities) supplements FTA's other capital assistance programs by
funding transportation projects for seniors and individuals with
disabilities in large urban, small urban, and rural areas. It primarily
covers capital expenses such as buses and vans and, in selected cases,
operating costs to remove barriers to transportation access. In
addition to traditional Section 5310 funding, the FTA administers the
Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility (ICAM) Pilot Program, open
to Section 5310 recipients and subrecipients, which helps finance
innovative projects that improve coordination of transportation and
non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services; examples include
deployment of coordination technology and projects that create or
expand access to community One-Call/One-Click centers. The Section 5311
program (Formula Grants for Rural Areas) provides capital, planning,
and operating assistance to states, local governments, private
nonprofit agencies, and public bodies for transportation services in
rural areas with populations of less than 50,000. The Rural Transit
Assistance Program (RTAP), a subsection of 5311, funds training,
technical assistance, and related activities to strengthen rural public
transportation. States are the direct recipients of 5311 and RTAP
funds. Tribal Transit Program, also a subsection of 5311, provides
public transportation funding to federally recognized Indian Tribes.
Together, these programs expand transportation accessibility; 5310 by
targeting seniors and individuals with disabilities and 5311 by
addressing broader public transportation needs in rural communities.
Respondents: States or local governmental entities that operate a
public transportation service, private
[[Page 14751]]
non-profit organizations, federally recognized Indian Tribes, and
designated recipients.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 517 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 54,133 hours.
Frequency: Every two years.

Director, Office of Management Planning.
