Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Since the last submission in 2007, FTA implemented an electronic system of reporting called TEAM. There is an increase in the number of responses; however, the Department anticipates a decrease in burden hours resulting from the greater use of electronic reporting in FAA and FTA. While the same information would be collected and reported, it should take transit and airport grantees less time to actually fill out and transmit reports because data will not have to be transferred to paper and mailed. At a rough estimate, this would save approximately 1,250 recipients ½ hour per report, which would result in a reduction of 625 hours.
