Transit Research, Development, Demonstration, Deployment and Training Projects

OMB 2132-0546

This information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0546 “Transit Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment Projects.” This information collection request does not reflect any adjustments in the number of burden hours (20,550) or the respondent universe (175). However, the previous submission in ROCIS was entered incorrectly putting the (175) respondents figures in the ICR burden summary table instead of the actual number of responses (775). This program provides grants or contracts for research, development, testing, and deployment of innovative technologies, materials, and processes; carry out related endeavors; and to support the demonstration and deployment of low-emission and no-emission vehicles to promote clean energy and improve air quality. It also provides grants or the ability to enter into contracts for human resource and workforce development programs as they apply to public transportation activities. Such programs may include; employment training; outreach programs to increase minority and female employment in public transportation activities; research on public transportation personnel and training needs; and training and assistance for minority business opportunities. The entities that respond to this collection include Federal Government Departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the Government, including Federal laboratories; State and local governmental entities; providers of public transportation; private or non-profit organizations; institutions of higher education; and technical and community colleges. This information is required to obtain the benefit of receiving federal funding. Respondents submit an initial application for federal funding and once funds are awarded quarterly and financial reports are required to ensure the projects are being properly implemented, are achieving results on a timely basis, remain within budget and yield value.
