Agency Information Collection Activity
Under OMB Review
AGENCY:
Federal Transit Administration,
DOT.
ACTION:
Notice of request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Federal Transit
Administration invites public comment
about our intention to request the Office
of Management and Budget’s (OMB)
approval to reinstate the following
information collections:
(1) Bus Testing Program.
(2) Transit Research, Development,
Demonstration and Deployment
Projects.
The information collections involve
our Bus Testing and Transit Research
Programs. The information to be
collected for the Bus Testing Program is
necessary to ensure that buses have
been tested at the Bus Testing Center for
maintainability, reliability, safety,
performance, structural integrity, fuel
economy, emissions and noise. The
information to be collected for Transit
Research, Development, Demonstration
and Deployment Projects is necessary to
determine eligibility of applicants and
ensure mass transportation service at a
minimum cost. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. The Federal Register with
a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments was published on June 1,
2009.
DATES: Comments must be submitted
before September 30, 2009. A comment
to OMB is most effective if OMB
receives it within 30 days of
publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bus Testing Program.
Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5323(c) provides
that no federal funds that are
appropriated or made available after
September 30, 1989, may be obligated or
expended for the acquisition of a new
bus model (including any model using
alternative fuels) unless the bus has
been tested at the Bus Testing Center
(Center) in Altoona, Pennsylvania. 49
U.S.C. 5318(a) further specifies that
each new bus model is to be tested for
maintainability, reliability, safety,
performance (including braking
performance), structural integrity, fuel
economy, emissions, and noise.
The operator of the Bus Testing
Center, the Thomas D. Larson
Pennsylvania Transportation Institute
(LTI), has entered into a cooperative
agreement with FTA. LTI operates and
maintains the Center, and establishes
and collects fees for the testing of the
vehicles at the facility. A test report is
given to the manufacturer of the new
bus model after the vehicle has been
tested at the Center. The bus
manufacturer certifies to an FTA grantee
that the bus the grantee is purchasing
has been tested at the Center. Also,
grantees who are considering the
purchase of a bus use this report to
assist them in making their purchasing
decisions. LTI maintains a reference file
for all the test reports which are made
available to the public.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 404
hours.
Title: 49 U.S.C. 5312(a) Transit
Research, Development, Demonstration
and Deployment Projects.
Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5312(a) authorizes
the Secretary of Transportation to make
grants or contracts for research,
development, demonstration and
deployment projects, and evaluation of
technology of national significance to
public transportation, that the Secretary
determines will improve mass
transportation service or help
transportation service meet the total
urban transportation needs at a
minimum cost. In carrying out the
provisions of this section, the Secretary
is also authorized to request and receive
appropriate information from any
source. As an example, FTA’s United
We Ride Program is funded under the
Transit Research Program. Research for
the United We Ride Program is being
conducted to gather information on how
the objectives of Executive Order 13330
on Human Services Transportation
Coordination are being achieved.
The information collected is
submitted as part of the application for

grants and cooperative agreements and
is used to determine eligibility of
applicants. Collection of this
information also provides

recipients are meeting program
objectives and are complying with FTA
Circular 6100.1B and other Federal
requirements.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
11,240 hours.
ADDRESSES: All written comments must
refer to the docket number that appears

other forms of information technology.
