Abstract: This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0575 “Public Transportation Emergency Relief 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 public transportation systems pay for protecting, repairing, and/or replacing equipment and facilities that may suffer or have suffered serious damage because of an emergency, including natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. 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. This information can be collected on yearly or quarterly basis based on the occasion of the disaster. That information is submitted to FTA's regional and headquarters staff via FTA’s electronic Transit Award Management System. Congress has not proved any additional appropriations in 2021 or 2022 for funding as a result of current disasters, so this is a request without change.
