large urban, small urban and rural areas.
Formula funding is apportioned to

request for OMB approval of this
information collection.
Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5317—New
Freedom Program
(OMB Number: 2132–0565)
Background: The purpose of the New
Freedom program was to make grants
available to assist states and designated
recipients to reduce barriers to
transportation services and expand the
transportation mobility options
available to people with disabilities
beyond the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
of 1990. The New Freedom program was
repealed in 2012 with the enactment of
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the
21st Century Act (MAP–21). However,
funds previously authorized for
programs repealed by MAP–21 remain
available for their originally authorized
purposes until the period of availability
expires, the funds are fully expended,
the funds are rescinded by Congress, or
the funds are otherwise reallocated. To
meet program oversight responsibilities,
FTA must continue to collect
information until the period of
availability expires, the funds are fully
expended, the funds are rescinded by
Congress, or the funds are otherwise
reallocated. Grant recipients are
required to make information available
to the public and to publish a program
of projects which identifies the
subrecipients and projects for which the
State or designated recipient is applying
for financial assistance. FTA uses the
information to monitor the grantees’
progress in implementing and
completing project activities. FTA
collects performance information
annually from designated recipients in
rural areas, small urbanized areas, other
direct recipients for small urbanized
areas, and designated recipients in
urbanized areas of 200,000 persons or
greater. FTA collects milestone and
financial status reports from designated
recipients in large urbanized areas on a
quarterly basis. The information
submitted ensures FTA’s compliance
with applicable federal laws and OMB
Uniform Administrative Requirements
(Super Circular).
Respondents: State and local
government, private non-profit
organizations and public transportation
authorities.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 201 hours for each of the
respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
119,229 hours.

hurricanes, and tornadoes. The program
can fund capital projects to protect,

that are in danger of suffering serious
damage, or have suffered serious
