Thus, the requirements for project evaluation and data collection for these proposed projects are not new and are unchanged.

FTA has been collecting project evaluation information from project sponsors under the existing OMB approval for this program (OMB No. 2132–0561). Respondents: State and local government. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 155 respondents. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 68,840 hours. Frequency: Annually. William Hyre, Deputy Associate Administrator for Administration.

Background: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers the discretionary Capital Investment Grants (CIG) grant program under 49 U.S.C. Section 5309 that provides funding for major transit capital investments including rapid rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and ferries. Three types of eligible projects are outlined in law: Smaller scaled corridor-based transit capital projects known as ‘‘Small Starts’’; new fixed guideway transit systems and extensions to existing fixed guideway systems known as ‘‘New Starts’’; and projects to improve capacity at least 10 percent in existing fixed guideway corridors that are at capacity today or will be in five years, known as ‘‘Core Capacity’’. The CIG program has a longstanding requirement that FTA evaluate proposed projects against a prescribed set of statutory criteria at specific points during the projects’ development including when they seek to enter a subsequent phase of the process or a construction grant agreement. In addition, FTA must report on its evaluations and ratings annually to Congress.
