TAD–10, Washington, DC 20590, (202)
366–0354 or [email protected].
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 August 16,
2016, FTA published a 60-day notice
(81 FR 54658) 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 reevaluated 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,
Aug. 29, 1995. 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, Aug.
29, 1995. 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,
Aug. 29, 1995.
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. 5307 Urbanized Area
Formula Program.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0502.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5307 The
Urbanized Area Formula Funding
program (49 U.S.C. 5307) makes Federal
resources available to urbanized areas
and to Governors for transit capital and
operating assistance and for
transportation related planning in
urbanized areas. An urbanized area is a

VerDate Sep<11>2014

21:24 Nov 16, 2016

Jkt 241001

Census-designated area with a
population of 50,000 or more as
determined by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
Funding is made available to designated
recipients, which must be public bodies
with the legal authority to receive and
dispense Federal funds. Governors,
responsible local officials and publicly
owned operators of transit services are
required to designate a recipient to
apply for, receive, and dispense funds
for urbanized areas pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 5307(a)(2). The Governor or
Governor’s designee is the designated
recipient for urbanized areas between
50,000 and 200,000. Eligible activities
include planning, engineering, design
and evaluation of transit projects and
other technical transportation-related
studies; capital investments in bus and
bus-related activities such as
replacement of buses, overhaul of buses,
rebuilding of buses, crime prevention
and security equipment and
construction of maintenance and
passenger facilities; and capital
investments in new and existing fixed
guideway systems including rolling
stock, overhaul and rebuilding of
vehicles, track, signals,
communications, and computer
hardware and software. All preventive
maintenance and some Americans with
Disabilities Act complementary
paratransit service costs are considered
capital costs. For urbanized areas with
populations less than 200,000, operating
assistance is an eligible expense. For
urbanized areas with 200,000 in
population and over, funds are
apportioned and flow directly to a
designated recipient selected locally to
apply for and receive Federal funds. For
urbanized areas under 200,000 in
population, the funds are apportioned to
the Governor of each state for
distribution. With the passing of Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act,
the 100 Bus Rule was been expanded to
include demand response service,
excluding ADA complementary
paratransit service. An exception to the
100 Bus Rule has been added as well.
If a public transportation system
executes a written agreement with one
or more other public transportation
systems within the urbanized area to
allocate funds by a method other than
by measuring vehicle revenue hours,
each public transportation system that is
part of the written agreement may
follow the terms of the written
agreement instead of the measured
vehicle revenue hours. Under Grant
Recipient Requirements, a provision has
been added that directs recipients to
maintain equipment and facilities in

accordance with their transit asset
management plan. Recipients are no
longer required to expend 1% of their
funding for associated transit
improvements. However, recipients are
still required to submit an annual report
listing projects that were carried out in
the preceding fiscal year. The Passenger
Ferry Grant Program is also available to
urbanized areas under the authority
provided through 49 U.S.C. 5307
(Section 5307). This program provides
discretionary opportunity to capital
projects. Capital projects include, but
are not limited to, the purchase,
replacement, or rehabilitation of ferries
and terminals and related equipment.
Funds may not be used to fund
operating expenses, planning, or
preventive maintenance.
Annual Estimated Total Burden
Hours: 117,000 hours.
Comments Are Invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
A comment to OMB is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.

Deputy Associate Administrator for
Administration.
