The key part of the collection is a requirement that state and local governments subject to the DBE program report to the Secretary of Transportation on DBE participation, as well as maintain a directory of DBE firms and report to the Secretary concerning the composition of the directory.

In order to minimize the burden on DOT recipients the Department has limited its informational request and reporting frequency to that necessary to meet its program and administrative monitoring requirements.

Background: In 2005, Congress passed, and the President signed, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU; Pub. L. 109–59). SAFETEA–LU contained a number of legislative mandates including providing data, statistics and analyses to transportation decision-makers. The Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (RITA/BTS) was tasked to accomplish this legislative mandate under 49 U.S.C. 111(c)(5). RITA/BTS plans to use the Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) to: • Assess the public’s evaluation of the nation’s transportation system in light of the DOT’s strategic goals (safety, reduced congestion, global connectivity, environmental stewardship and security, preparedness and response), • provide a vehicle for the operating administrations within the DOT as well as other governmental agencies, to survey the public about current transportation issues, and • provide national estimates of transportation mode usage. Each version of the OHS will focus on some subset of topics taken from the list below. Topics may vary from survey to survey since covering all topics in one questionnaire would make the respondent burden unacceptable: PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Choices and Frequency of Mode Use in the Month and the Week Prior to the Survey Data Collection Commercial air Privately owned vehicle Taxi Rail transit (subway, streetcar, or light rail) Commuter rail Transit (local) and intercity (long distance) bus Intercity rail (Amtrak) Other modes such as biking and walking Confidence in the safety of the following modes of transportation Commercial air Privately owned vehicle Taxi Rail transit (subway, streetcar, or light rail) Commuter rail Water transportation (taxis, ferries, ships) Transit (local) and intercity (long distance) bus Intercity rail (Amtrak) Other modes such as biking/walking/ ferries Confidence in the security procedures for the following modes of transportation Commercial air Charter/general aviation Rail transit (subway, streetcar, or light rail) Commuter rail Water transportation (taxis, ferries, ships) Transit (local) and intercity (long distance) bus Intercity rail (Amtrak) Assessment of/satisfaction with security procedures for the following modes of transportation Commercial air Charter/general aviation Rail transit (subway, streetcar, or light rail) Commuter rail Water transportation (taxis, ferries, ships) Transit (local) and intercity (long distance) bus Intercity rail (Amtrak) Processing through security at Commercial airports Train stations Waterway entry points for ferries, water taxis, cruises Knowledge of current check-in procedures at Commercial airports Train stations Waterway entry points for ferries, water taxis, cruises E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM 02FEN1
