Abstract: This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0576 “49 U.S.C. Section 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities Program.” The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is required to obtain federal funding assistance that help States and designated recipients to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment and to construct bus-related facilities including technological changes or innovations to modify low or no emission vehicles or facilities. Eligible recipients include designated recipients that operate fixed route bus service or that allocate funding to fixed route bus operators; state or local governmental entities; and federally recognized Indian tribes that operate fixed route bus service that are eligible to receive direct grants under 5307 and 5311. Eligible transportation providers must apply to receive federal funds and then provide milestone and financial reports as necessary to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of federal funds within the scope of the approved project. Since the last information collection in 2016, there has been no change in respondents nor burden.
