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 March 26, 2026 FTA published a 60-day notice (91 FR 14750)
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: 49 U.S.C. 5310 Capital Assistance Program for Elderly
Persons and Persons with Disabilities & Section 5311 Nonurbanized Area
Formula Program.
OMB Control 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
[[Page 31519]]
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 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.

Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Administration.
