Need for and Use of Information:
TVA, serving in its regulatory capacity,
uses this financial and statistical
information to monitor each
distributor’s current financial position
and to forecast requirements for
reasonable levels of resources for
renewals, replacements, and
contingencies. The data from this
information collection is used by TVA
organizations (Regulatory Assurance,
Commercial Energy Solutions, Treasury
and Risk, Regional Relations and
Transmission and Power Supply) and
the TVA Board of Directors to assist in
making management decisions
concerning electric power rates,
financing the TVA power generating
and transmission system, and other
long-term plans. If this information
collection is not conducted, TVA would
be severely hampered in fulfilling its
responsibilities to Congress under
Section 11 of the TVA Act of 1933 to
‘‘permit domestic and rural use [of
electricity] at the lowest possible rates.’’
TVA has deployed the new Financial
Information & Regulatory System Tool
(FIRST) to streamline data collection
and reduce the burden on the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) is authorized
to require marking of vehicles and
intermodal equipment by motor carriers,
freight forwarders and IEPs engaging in
interstate transportation based on the
authority of 49 U.S.C. 31133(a)(8) and
31133(a)(10). The Secretary has
delegated authority pertaining to the
marking of commercial motor vehicles
(CMVs) pursuant to 49 CFR 1.87(f). The
Agency’s regulation governing the
marking of CMVs is codified at 49 CFR
390.21.
Vehicle marking requirements are
intended to ensure that FMCSA, the
National Transportation Safety Board,
and State safety officials are able to
identify motor carriers and correctly
assign responsibility for regulatory
violations during inspections,
investigations, compliance reviews, and
crash studies. These marking
requirements will also provide the

public with beneficial information that
could assist in identifying carriers for
the purposes of commerce, complaints
or emergency notification. The marking
requirements apply to motor carriers,
freight forwarders, and IEPs engaging in
interstate transportation and motor
carriers that transport HM in intrastate
transportation. The Agency does not
require a specific method of marking as
long as the marking complies with
FMCSA’s regulations. The increase of
6,023,242 estimated annual burden
hours (7,196,937 proposed estimated
annual burden hours—1,713,695
approved estimated annual burden
hours) is due to adjustments in
respondent and response estimates.
Title: Commercial Motor Vehicle
Marking Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2126–0054.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents: Freight-carrying
commercial motor carriers, passengercarrying commercial motor carriers, and
intermodal equipment providers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
895,485 total respondents (861,643
freight-carrying motor carriers; 17,167
intrastate hazardous materials
transporting motor carriers; 15,114
passenger-carrying motor carriers; and
1,561 IEPs).
Estimated Time per Response: 26
minutes [12 minutes to affix USDOT
Number + 14 minutes for affixing a
carrier’s name].
Expiration Date: October 31, 2022.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
7,196,937 total hours (4,907,276 hours
spent by freight-carrying motor carriers;
239,666 hours spent by intrastate
hazardous materials transporting motor
carriers; 47,645 hours spent by
passenger-carrying motor carriers; and
2,002,351 hours spent by IEPs). All of
these entities spent these hours marking
their CMVs with a USDOT number and
motor carrier information.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The Agency will
summarize or include your comments in
the request for OMB’s clearance of this
ICR.

A. Program Description
Division J of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (enacted as the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,
Pub. L. 117–58) authorizes FTA to
award grants for public transportation
rail station accessibility projects, for
‘‘legacy’’ stations, through a competitive

process, as described in this notice.
Legacy stations for purposes of this
NOFO are defined as public
transportation stations already
constructed or where construction
began prior to January 25, 1992, or for
commuter rail stations already
constructed or where construction
began prior to October 7, 1991, that
were not identified as key stations and
remain not accessible to or usable by
persons with disabilities, including
wheelchair users. ASAP provides
funding to States (including territories
and Washington, DC) and local
governmental authorities to help finance
capital projects to upgrade the
accessibility of legacy rail fixed
guideway public transportation systems
(e.g., subway, commuter rail, light rail)
for persons with disabilities, including
those who use wheelchairs, by
increasing the number of existing
stations or facilities, such as outdoor
light-rail boarding and alighting areas,
that are fully accessible. For purposes of
this NOFO, ‘‘fully accessible’’ means all
of the passenger-use publicly accessible
areas in the station(s) or facilities for
passenger use meet or exceed the
standards for new construction under
Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12131
et seq.) as incorporated into Appendix
A of 49 CFR part 37. Grants under this
program are for (1) capital projects to
repair, improve, modify, retrofit, or
relocate infrastructure of stations or
facilities for passenger use, including
load-bearing members that are an
essential part of the structural frame; or
(2) for planning projects to develop or
modify a plan for pursuing public
transportation accessibility projects,
assessments of accessibility, or
assessments of planned modifications to
stations or facilities for passenger use.
This funding opportunity can be
found under Federal Assistance Listing
20.533.
This program supports FTA’s
priorities and objectives through
investments that (1) renew our transit
systems, (2) advance racial equity, (3)
maintain and create good-paying jobs
with a free and fair choice to join a
union, (4) remove barriers to transit
access for underserved communities,
and (5) connect communities. This
program will be implemented, as
appropriate and consistent with law, in
alignment with the priorities in
Executive Order 14052, Implementation
of the Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (86 FR 64355). In addition, this
NOFO will advance the goals of the
President’s January 20, 2021, Executive
Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity
and Support for Underserved
