announce actions taken by Caltrans and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that are
final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C.
139(l)(1). The actions relate to a
proposed highway project known as
CURE Safety Improvement that
proposes to remove all fixed objects in
the clear recovery zone along a 4-mile
section of the southbound roadside of
Highway 101 between King City and
Greenfield in Monterey County, State of
California. Those actions grant licenses,
permits, and approvals for the project.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on
behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public
of final agency actions subject to 23
U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking
judicial review of the Federal agency
actions on the highway project will be
barred unless the claim is filed on or
before August 14, 2015. If the Federal
law that authorizes judicial review of a
claim provides a time period of less
than 150 days for filing such claim, then
that shorter time period still applies.

The information collected is
necessary to determine eligibility of
applicants and ensure the proper and
timely expenditure of federal funds
within the scope of the program. The
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments for
the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks
Program was published on December
29, 2014 (Citation 79 FR 248). No
comments were received from that
notice.
Comments must be submitted
before April 16, 2015. A comment to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 49 U.S.C. 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes
Transit in Parks Program (OMB Number:
2132–0574).
Abstract: This collection involves
FTA’s Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks
Program. This program is necessary
because it addresses the challenge of
increasing traffic pollution and
crowding in and around our National
parks and other federal lands. To
address these concerns, this program
has provided more than $163 million in
funding for alternative transportation
systems, such as shuttle buses, rail
connections and even bicycle trails. On
October 1, 2013, the Paul S. Sarbanes
Transit in Parks Program was repealed

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 51 / Tuesday, March 17, 2015 / Notices
by Congress under the Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP–21). However, to meet federal
program oversight responsibilities, FTA
must continue to collect information
under the program management stage
until the period of availability expires;
the funds are fully expended; the funds
are rescinded by Congress; or the funds
are otherwise reallocated.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 370
hours.
ADDRESSES: All written comments must
refer to the docket number that appears
at the top of this document and be
submitted to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725—17th

Attention: FTA Desk Officer.
Comments are Invited On: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b)
National Transit Database (NTD) (OMB
Number: 2132–0008).
Abstract: This collection involves
FTA’s National Transit Database (NTD)
program. This information collection is
important because U.S.C. 5335 requires
the Secretary of Transportation
‘‘maintain a reporting system, using
uniform categories to accumulate public
transportation financial and operating
information using a uniform system of
accounts.’’ Additionally, 49 U.S.C.
5335(b) specifies that the Secretary may
award grants under FTA’s Urbanized
Area Formula Program or Other Than
Urbanized Area Formula Program
(Sections 5307 and 5311) ‘‘only if the
applicant and any person that will
receive benefits directly from the grant
are subject to the reporting and uniform
systems.’’ The National Transit Database
is the reporting system established to
meet this requirement. NTD data is used
by FTA in assessing applications from
transit agencies for discretionary grants
and in conducting oversight reviews of
grantees to ensure compliance with
federal grant requirements. In addition,
NTD data is used by State and local
governments, as well as individual
transit agencies, to conduct performance
benchmarking among peer transit
systems. NTD data is also frequently
used by academic researchers seeking to
better understand public transportation
systems. NTD data are frequently cited
in the proceedings of the Transportation
Research Board. NTD data is also
valuable to the transit agencies that are
themselves reporting the data and are
key components of the American Public
Transportation Association’s Annual
Factbook and data on capital assets.
Finally, time series of NTD data are
frequently used by suppliers of transit
equipment and services to evaluate
market trends and by government at all
levels to guide transit investment
decisions.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
26,000 hours.
