as and private organizations that have
previously expressed or that are known
to have an interest in the Proposed
Action.
FRA and DDOT will coordinate with

and Native American Tribes that may
have an interest in the Proposed Action
to become participating agencies for the

Further Information Contact’’ section).
The lead agencies will develop a
Coordination Plan summarizing how the
public and other agencies will be
engaged in the process. The

Form when reporting accessibility
challenges faced during travel on our
Nation’s streets, sidewalks, crosswalks,

system will provide an accessible,
coordinated, and seamless web-based

accessibility problems or challenges
they face during travel on the Nation’s
streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, buses,
trains, airports, and planes. The
establishment of the system is in
response the President’s National
Council on Disability (NCD) Report,
‘‘Transition Update: Where We’ve Been
and What We’ve Learned,’’ released in
2015, as well as a letter to the Secretary
of Transportation from the NCD dated
May 12, 2015. The information received
through the system will strengthen
DOT’s ability to understand the
challenges and impacts that passengers
with disabilities face every day when
they use our nation’ transportation
systems. A Federal Register Notice with
a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on this information
collection was published on June 13,

Background: The current process for
submitting concerns about American
with Disabilities Act, as amended,
(ADA) and other related civil rights

Department—sometimes being time
consuming and cumbersome for the
traveling public. Establishing a
streamlined and consistent process
would respond directly to the

Disability, and more importantly, the
E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM
26AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 166 / Friday, August 26, 2016 / Notices
information received through this new
system would strengthen our ability to
understand the challenges and impacts
that persons with disabilities face every
day as they travel using our nation’s
transportation systems. This would also
offer significant improvements to
ensuring that access to all modes of
transportation is available to persons
with disabilities and members of the
public.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
the U.S. Department of Transportation
currently collects data on ADA and
other civil rights-related concerns based
on information provided by the public
via written submission, or through a
toll-free telephone number. Based on
our analysis of data collected through
present formats, DOT receives
approximately 850 separate responses
from the general public on accessibilityrelated concerns, including:
• 150 pieces of correspondence on
one-time accessibility-related incidents
• 120 email messages
• 400 telephone calls
• 172 formal accessibility-related
complaints.
Currently, the estimated Total Burden
on Respondents: 15 to 30 minutes per
submission.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including, (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
processing of transportation-related
accessibility issues; (b) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (c) ways for the
DOT to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collection; and
(d) ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. All
responses to the notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
