SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested
parties are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this information
collection, including: (1) The necessity
and utility of the information collection
for the proper performance of the
functions of the FTA; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the collected information; and (4)
ways to minimize the collection burden
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval of this
information collection.
Title: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b)
National Transit Database.
(OMB Number: 2132–0008).
Background: Title 49 U.S.C. 5335(a)
and (b) requires the Secretary of
Transportation to maintain a reporting
system by uniform categories to
accumulate mass transportation
financial and operating information
using a uniform system of accounts and
records. Congress created the NTD to be
the repository of transit data for the
nation, on which to base public
transportation service planning. Section
3033 of SAFETEA–LU amended 49
U.S.C. 5335 to require recipients of 49
U.S.C. 5311 grants to submit an annual
report containing total annual revenue;
sources of revenue; total annual
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
DATES:
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
operating costs; total annual capital
costs; fleet size and type; and related
facilities: Revenue vehicle miles and
ridership. The addition of this
requirement for recipients of 49 U.S.C.
5311 does not affect the existing NTD
data collection from urbanized area
agencies, including the mandatory NTD
reporting requirement for recipients of
49 U.S.C. 5307 grants (Urbanized Area
Formula grants).
FTA will not require these smaller
rural agencies to submit the same level
of detail to the NTD as a system in an
urbanized area. FTA will only require
the State Department of Transportation
(DOT) to submit a one-page form for
each rural agency in the State that is the
recipient or beneficiary of grants under
49 U.S.C. 5311. Most State DOTs
already produce reports for their State
legislatures with this summary data.
Additionally, FTA will require each
State DOT to report the number of
counties in the State that are served by
recipients of grants under 49 U.S.C.
5311. For purposes of this data
collection, Puerto Rico, American
Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands will
report as States (by 49 U.S.C. 5307(1).
The U.S. Virgin Islands is an urbanized
area for purposes of FTA grantmaking
and does not receive grants under 49
U.S.C. 5311. Additionally, FTA will
require this report from federallyrecognized Native American tribes that
are direct recipients of grants under 49
U.S.C. Section 5311 and whose
information is not included in a report
of a State DOT. The reporting
requirements for this program have been
developed after years of consultation
with State DOTs and rural transit
agencies.
On November 30, 2005, FTA
published in the Federal Register (70
FR 71950, November 30, 2005) the
procedures and start dates for
mandatory annual reporting that State
DOTs must follow when submitting
rural transit data to FTA. The rural
transit data reporting procedures are
specified in the Rural NTD Module
Reporting Manual which contains
detailed reporting instructions for this
data collection. It can be reviewed on
the NTD Web site at https://
www.ntdprogram.gov. and will be
submitted for notice and comment in a
future Federal Register announcement.
For 2006, many States have reported
data to the NTD for approximately 1,600
rural systems under a voluntary pilot
program. The majority of States reported
all of their data without any formal
training.
FTA is requesting a revision of the
currently approved NTD information

collection (OMB Control Number 2132–
008) to include the addition of rural
reporting.
Rural Respondents: State DOTs and
some tribal governments.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: Approximately one hour
is required to complete the one-page
form for each of the 1,600 recipients of
grants under 49 U.S.C. 5311. The
average for each State DOT that files on
behalf of the grant recipients is less than
31 hours each year.
Estimated Total Annual Rural
Burden: 1,600 hours.
Frequency: Annual reports.
Urban reporting is currently included
in the approved NTD information
collection.
Urban Respondents: The respondents
are primarily public transit authorities
that are agencies of State and local
governments. Reporters also include
entities under contract to public transit
agencies, such as, business or other forprofit institutions, non-profit
institutions, and small business
organizations.
Estimated Annual Urban Burden on
Urban Respondents: There are 660 total
potential respondents, of which 80 very
small systems seek exemptions from
filing. Annually, about 580 entities file
detailed reports. The annual burden on
each of the 580 respondents is 395
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Urban
Burden: 229,100 hours.
Frequency: Primarily annual, with
monthly safety, security and ridership
reports.
Total Estimated Annual Burden for
Rural and Urban Respondents: 230,700
hours.
