Federal Railroad Administration
Notice of Informational Filing
In accordance with Section 236.913 of
Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), notice is hereby
given that the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) has received an
informational filing from the Northeast
Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad
Corporation (Metra) to permit phased
revenue testing of the railroad’s
processor-based train control system.
The informational filing is described
below, including the requisite docket
number where the informational filing
and any related information may be
found. The document is also available
for public inspection.
Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter
Railroad Corporation
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
[Docket Number FRA–2008–0057]
Metra has submitted an informational
filing to FRA to permit phased revenue
testing of the railroad’s processor-based
train control system identified as
Electronic Train Management System
(ETMS). The informational filing
addresses the requirements under 49
CFR 236.913(j)(1).
Specifically, the informational filing
contains a description of the ETMS
product, an operational concepts
document, and a test plan. A temporary
waiver petition to support phased
revenue testing of ETMS was submitted
separately. The ETMS is a locomotivecentric, non-vital system designed to be
overlaid on existing methods of
operation and to provide an improved
level of railroad safety through
enforcement of a train’s authority limits
and both permanent and temporary
speed restrictions.
Metra desires to commence phased
revenue testing as soon as practicable,

ACTION: Notice of Proposed
Amendments to the 2011 National
Transit Database Urbanized Area
Annual Reporting Manual and
Announcement of Immediate
Suspension of Collecting Security Data
on the S&S–50 Form in the Safety and
Security Module
AGENCY:
This notice provides
interested parties with the opportunity
to comment on changes to the Federal
Transit Administration’s (FTA) National
Transit Database (NTD) reporting
requirements, including amendments to
the 2011 Urbanized Area Annual
Reporting Manual (Annual Manual).
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5335, FTA
requires recipients or beneficiaries of
FTA Urbanized Area Formula Grants to
provide an annual report to the
Secretary of Transportation via the NTD
reporting system according to a uniform
system of accounts (USOA). Other
transit systems in urbanized areas report
to the NTD under these requirements on
a voluntary basis for purposes of
including data from their NTD reports
in the apportionment of Urbanized Area
Formula Grants. In an ongoing effort to
improve the NTD reporting system and
be responsive to the needs of the transit
systems reporting to the NTD, FTA
annually refines and clarifies the
reporting requirements through
revisions to the Annual Manual.
Additionally, FTA announces that it is
immediately suspending data collection
of personal security incidents on the
S&S–50 Form in the Safety & Security
Module.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Background
The National Transit Database (NTD)
is the Federal Transit Administration’s
(FTA’s) primary database for statistics
on the transit industry. Congress
established the NTD to ‘‘help meet the
needs of * * * the public for
information on which to base public
transportation service planning * * *’’
(49 U.S.C. 5335). Currently, over 700
transit providers in urbanized areas
report to the NTD through an Internetbased reporting system. Each year,
performance data from these
submissions are used to apportion over
$6 billion of FTA funds under the
Urbanized Area Formula (Section 5307)
Grants and the Fixed Guideway
Modernization Grants Programs. These
data are made available on the NTD
Web site at https://www.ntdprogram.gov
for the benefit of the public, transit
systems, and all levels of government.
These data are also used in the annual
National Transit Summaries and Trends
report, the biennial Conditions and
Performance Report to Congress, and in
meeting FTA’s obligations under the
Government Performance and Results

Act. Reporting requirements are
governed by a Uniform System of
Accounts (USOA) and an Annual
Reporting Manual that is issued each
year. Both the USOA and the Annual
Manual are available for review on the
NTD Website at https://
www.ntdprogram.gov. Additionally,
urbanized area transit systems also
make monthly reports to the NTD on
safety and security incidents through
the NTD Safety & Security Module.
II. Proposed Changes in the 2011
Annual Manual
FTA proposes several substantive
changes to the Annual Manual for the
2011 Report Year: (1) To clarify the
eligibility of vanpools to be reported to
the NTD; (2) to redefine several of the
modes of transportation service; (3) to
make some definitional clarifications;
(4) to revise the reporting requirements
for small transit systems; (5) to add
financial balance sheet reporting; (6) to
update the procedures for making
urbanized area allocations; and (7) to
establish special procedures for
handling the release of new urbanized
area definitions from the Census
Bureau.
(1) Eligibility of Vanpools for the NTD
Currently, FTA requires vanpools to
have a public sponsor in order to be
included in the NTD. This does not
capture vanpool service being provided
as public transportation by the private
sector. In other cases, the mere existence
of a public sponsor for vanpool service
has allowed some vanpools to be
reported to the NTD without adequate
assurances that the vanpool is in fact
public transportation.
FTA proposes to change its
requirements for reporting vanpool
service to the NTD as follows: To be
included in the NTD, a sponsor of
vanpool service must demonstrate: (1)
That it is open to the public and that
any vans that are restricted a priori to
particular employers and which do not
participate in the ride-matching service
of the vanpool are excluded from the
NTD report; (2) that it actively engages
in the following activities: advertising
the vanpool service to the public,
matching interested members of the
public to vanpools with available seats,
and reasonable planning to increase its
service (when funding is available) to
meet demand from additional riders; (3)
that the service is open to individuals
with disabilities, in accordance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990;
and (4) that it has a record-keeping
system in place to collect and report
fully-allocated operating costs for the
service.
