Abstract: This is a request for a revision of a currently approved information collection. This information collection reflects a change in burden. There is a burden decrease because the Transit in Parks Program was repealed by Congress under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Thus, the application stage and all information collected as part of this process in the program has been eliminated. This resulted in a significant decrease because the large pool of grantees submitting the comprehensive applications is no longer applicable. Thus, the Federal Government no longer needs to conduct detailed reviews of each of the applications for selection of funding. There are currently only five open grants requiring reporting under the Transit in Parks Program, as these projects still have federal funding associated with them. Once the funds are fully expended this information collection will be discontinued. Alternative transportation projects formerly eligible under Transit in Parks are now eligible under the Federal Highway Administration’s Federal Lands Transportation Program and the Federal Lands Access Program.
