SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Ferry Study.
Type of Request: Approval of a new
information collection.
OMB Control Number: New.
Affected Public: Ferry operators
nationwide.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Number of Responses: 300.
Total Annual Burden: 100 hours
(Average estimate of 20 minutes to
complete the survey for each of 300
resulting in a total of 6000 minutes or
100 hours).
Abstract: The Transportation Equity
Act for the 21st Century (TEA—21)
(Pub. L. 105–178), section 1207(c),
directed the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a study of ferry
transportation in the United States and
its possessions. In 2000, the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) Office
of Intermodal and Statewide Planning
conducted a survey of approximately
250 known ferry operators. The Safe,
Accountable, Flexible Efficient
Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA–LU; H.R. 3,
Section 1801(e)) requires that the
Secretary, acting through the BTS, shall
establish and maintain a national ferry
database containing information on
routes, vessels, passengers and vehicles
carried, funding sources and such other
information as the Secretary considers
useful. Data collection will rely on a
written survey. An electronic version of
the questionnaire will also be available
to respondents on request. Data will be
collected from the entire population of
ferry operators (estimate 300 or less).
The survey will ask respondents to
PO 00000
Frm 00142

Sfmt 4703

provide information on: (1) Points
served; (2) amount and source of
Federal, State, and/or local funds used
in the past 24 months; (3) type of
ownership; (4) number of passengers
and vehicles carried in the past 12
months; (5) any new routes expected to
be added within the next five years; and
(6) highways that are connected by the
ferries. It is estimated that the survey
will take, on average, 20 minutes to
complete for a total burden of 100 hours
(300 respondents*20 minutes/60 = 100
hours).
The National Ferry Database may
collect business sensitive information.
The confidentiality of these data will be
protected under 49 CFR 7.17. In
accordance with this regulation, only
statistical and non-sensitive business
information will be made available
through publications and public use
data files. The statistical public use data
are intended to provide an aggregated
source of information on ferry boat
operations nationwide.
ADDRESSES: The agency seeks public
comments on its proposed information
collection. Comments should address
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways
to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, 725–
