49 U.S.C. Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program

This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0502 “49 U.S.C. Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program.” The passing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) did not impact this collection programmatically nor cause changes in the collection of information burden hours, submission or respondent universe. As a result, the respondents and burdens hours remain the same. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is submitted to FTA to provide financial assistance to State and local governments and public transportation authorities for capital projects such as planning, engineering, design and evaluation of transit projects and other technical transportation-related studies; capital investments in bus and bus-related activities such as replacement, overhaul and rebuilding of buses, crime prevention and security equipment and construction of maintenance and passenger facilities; and capital investments in new and existing fixed guideway systems including rolling stock, overhaul and rebuilding of vehicles, track, signals, communications, and computer hardware and software. In addition, associated transit improvements and certain expenses associated with mobility management programs are eligible under the program. All preventive maintenance and some Americans with Disabilities Act complementary paratransit service costs are considered capital costs. Section 5307 also includes funding for passenger ferry system in urbanized areas. The recipients must also apply to receive federal funds and then provide various reports (milestone and financial reports) on an annual basis.
