The Bus Testing Program is under Title 49 U.S.C. Section 5323(c). It states that no federal funds may be obligated or expended for the acquisition of a new transit bus vehicle unless the bus has met the requirements of FTA's Bus Testing Program. This requires that any new bus or a bus that has undergone significant changes be tested at the Bus Testing Facility in Altoona, PA. This is an update to a currently approved information collection request. The paperwork burden associated with the current program reflects the establishment of a standardized web-based form on the FTA external website, requesting test services from the Bus Testing Program. As part of the previous terms of clearance, FTA was requested to develop a standard form for the collection to allow respondents entry into the program. This information collection request satisfies that requirement and improves on the effective use of information technology as mandated in an Executive Order dated September 5, 2014 to increase, “Web-based Interactive Technologies: Data Search Tools, Calculators, and the Paperwork Reduction Act”.
