collected information. Comments

request for OMB approval of this

Title: Charter Service Operations.
(OMB Number: 2132–0543).
Background: FTA recipients may only
provide charter bus service with FTAfunded facilities and equipment if the
charter service is incidental to the
provision of transit service (49 U.S.C.
5323(d). This restriction protects charter
service providers from unauthorized
competition by FTA recipients.
The requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5323(d)
are implemented in FTA’s charter
regulation (Charter Service Rule) at 49
CFR part 604. Amended in 2008, the
Charter Service Rule now contains five
(5) provisions that impose information
collection requirements on FTA
recipients of financial assistance from
FTA under Federal Transit Law.
First, 49 CFR 604.4 requires all
applicants for Federal financial
assistance under Federal Transit Law,
unless otherwise exempted under 49
CFR 604.2, to enter into a ‘‘Charter
Service Agreement,’’ contained in the
Certifications and Assurances for FTA
Assistance Programs. The Certifications
and Assurances become a part of the
Grant Agreement or Cooperative
Agreement for Federal financial
assistance upon receipt of Federal
funds. The rule requires each applicant
to submit one Charter Service
Agreement for each year that the
applicant intends to apply for the
Federal financial assistance specified
above.
Second, 49 CFR 604.14(3) requires a
recipient of Federal funds under Federal
Transit Law, unless otherwise exempt,
to provide email notification to all
registered charter providers in the
recipient’s geographic service area each
time the recipient receives a request for
charter service that the recipient is
interested in providing.
Third, 49 CFR 604.12(c) requires a
recipient, unless otherwise exempt
under 49 CFR part 604.2, to submit on
a quarterly basis records of all instances
that the recipient provided charter
service.
Fourth, 49 CFR 604.13 requires a
private charter provider to register on
FTA’s Charter Registration Web site at
http://ftawebprod.fta.dot.gov/
CharterRegistration/ in order to qualify
as a registered charter service provider
and receive email notifications by
recipients that are interested in
providing a requested charter service.
The rule requires that a registered
charter service provider must update its
information on the Charter Registration

Web site at least once every two years.
Currently, there are a total of 192
registered private charter service
providers. Registration has consistently
decreased over the years.
Lastly, 49 CFR 604.7 permits
recipients to provide charter service to
Qualified Human Service Organizations
(QHSO) under limited circumstances.
QHSOs that do not receive Federal
funding under programs listed in
Appendix A to part 604 and seek to
receive free or reduced rate services
from recipients must register on FTA’s
Charter Registration Web site (49 CFR
604.15(a)).
Respondents: State and local
government, business or other for-profit
institutions, and non-profit institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 0.05 hours for each of the
955 Recipient respondents under 49
CFR 604.4, 1.25 hours for each of the
114 Recipient respondents under 49
CFR 604.12, 0.50 hours for each of the
114 Recipient respondents under 49
CFR 604.14, 0.50 hours for each of the
53 non-profit respondents, and 0.50
hours for each of the estimated 192 forprofit respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
369.7 hours.
Frequency: Annually, bi-annually,
quarterly, and as required.
