A. Background
On February 3, 2016, FTA published
a Federal Register notice (initial notice)
(Docket No. FTA–2016–009) for
comment on proposed updates to the
USOA and changes to NTD reporting
requirements. The USOA is the basic
reference document that describes how
transit agencies are to report to the NTD.
The USOA was originally published in
PO 00000
Frm 00176
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1977 when NTD reporting began. While
the NTD has undergone numerous and
substantial changes in the past 38 years,
the USOA was last updated for minor
changes in 1995. The notice described
various proposed changes to the USOA
to better align with today’s NTD and
accounting practices and to address
FTA data needs and common questions
among NTD reporters. In the initial
notice, FTA proposed the following
changes:
A. Separation of ‘‘Passenger-Paid Fares’’
and ‘‘Organization-Paid Fares’’
B. Separation of ‘‘Paid Absences’’ from
‘‘Fringe Benefits’’
C. Consolidation of ‘‘Casualty and
Liability Costs’’ under General
Administration Function
D. Expansion of Assets and Liabilities
Object Classes (F–60)
E. Addition of ‘‘Voluntary NonExchange Transactions’’
F. Addition of ‘‘Sales and Disposals of
Assets’’
G. Simplification of State Fund
Reporting
H. Reorganization of B–30 Contractual
Relationship
Additionally, the initial notice
proposed changes to the NTD reporting
requirements that are not directly
addressed in the updated USOA, which
are as follows:
I. Separation of Operators’ and NonOperators’ Work Hours and Counts
J. Enhanced Auditor’s Review
K. Revised Automatic Passenger
Counter (APC) Certification Process
In the initial notice, FTA proposed
that it would begin implementing the
proposed reporting requirements
beginning with the FY 2017 NTD
reporting cycle.
B. Response to Comments on Proposed
Updates to the USOA and Changes to
NTD Reporting Requirements
The comment period for the initial
notice closed on April 4, 2016. The
following is a summary of the comments
from the initial notice related to the
updates to the USOA and NTD reporting
requirements.
Comment: Three commenters raised a
concern over the separation of
‘‘Passenger-Paid Fares’’ and
‘‘Organization-Paid Fares.’’ Commenters
opposed the separation of ‘‘PassengerPaid Fares’’ and ‘‘Organization-Paid
Fares’’ stating that the additional
information will add little, if any, value
to the NTD report. Commenters noted
that adding these additional reporting
requirements will only increase the cost
of compliance for reporting agencies.
One commenter specifically raised a
concern stating that the proposed
