This is a revision of a currently approved information collection entitled “Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program” (PTSCTP) associated with a Final Rulemaking. OMB filed a comment on the NPRM on April 24, 2024. FTA did not receive any comments during the NPRM related to the collection of information, burden cost and/or hours. Therefore, there are no changes to the respondents, responses or annual burden hours in this Final Rulemaking from what was previously submitted to OMB during the NPRM phase. PTSCTP provides uniform training requirements for Federal and State personnel and contractors who conduct safety audits and examinations of transit systems and for transit agency personnel and contractors who are directly responsible for safety oversight. The program respondents are Rail Transit Agencies (RTAs) and State Safety Oversight Agencies (SSOAs). They collect and forward training information to FTA on behalf of designated safety personnel. This is a mandatory collection of information to assure that compliance with the requirements is properly and earnestly undertaken by respondents who are directly responsible for safety oversight of our Nation’s public transportation systems. The PTSCTP Final Rulemaking are discretionary changes that refine the PTSCTP communication process, streamlines administrative requirements, and clarifies voluntary PTSCTP participation and refresher training requirements. The rule maintains the existing minimum training requirements for State Safety Oversight Agency (SSOA) personnel and Rail Transit Safety (RTA) personnel. These changes will ensure training requirements and curriculum for safety professionals in rail transit agencies are more responsive to changing industry needs.
The latest form for Public Transportation Safety Certification Training Program (PTSCTP) expires 2028-10-31 and is listed under ICR 202510-2132-001.
