Census of Ferry Operators

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
this notice announces the intention of
the BTS to request the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB’s)
approval for an information collection
related to the nation’s ferry operations.
The information collected will be used
to produce a descriptive database of
existing ferry operations. A summary
report of survey findings will also be
published by BTS on the BTS web page.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before May 31, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Census of Ferry
Operators (NCFO).
Type of Request: Approval
modifications to an existing information
collection.
Affected Public: There are
approximately 250 ferry operators
nationwide.
Abstract: In 1998, the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–
21) (Pub. L. 105–178), section 1207(c),
directed the Secretary of Transportation
to conduct a study of ferry
transportation in the United States and
its possessions. In 2000, the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) Office
of Intermodal and Statewide Planning
conducted a survey of approximately
250 ferry operators to identify: (1)
Existing ferry operations including the
location and routes served; (2) source
and amount, if any, of funds derived
from Federal, State, or local
governments supporting ferry
construction or operations; (3) potential
domestic ferry routes in the United
States and its possessions; and (4)
potential for use of high speed ferry
services and alternative-fueled ferry
services. In 2005, the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity
Act—A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–
LU) Public Law 109–59, Section
1801(e)) required that the Secretary,
acting through the BTS, shall establish
and maintain a national ferry database
containing current information
regarding routes, vessels, passengers
and vehicles carried, funding sources
and such other information as the
Secretary considers useful. In 2012,
MAP–21 legislation [Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (Pub.
L. 112–141),] continued the BTS
mandate to conduct the NCFO and also
required that the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) use the NCFO
data to set the specific formula for
allocating federal ferry funds. The
funding allocations were based on a
percentage of the number of passenger
boardings, vehicle boardings, and route
miles served. In 2015, the FAST Act
legislation [Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114–94, sec.
1112)] continues the BTS mandate to
conduct the NCFO on a biennial basis,
and extended the requirement that the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) use the NCFO data to set the
specific formula for allocating federal
ferry funds as required in MAP–21.
BTS conducted the first National
Census of Ferry Operators in 2006. The
Census was conducted again in 2008,
E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM
01MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 84 / Wednesday, May 1, 2019 / Notices
2010, 2014, 2016 and 2018. Preparations
are already underway for the next
census in 2020. The overall length of the
revised questionnaire for the 2020
NCFO will remain consistent with that
of previous years. These information
collections were originally approved by
OMB under Control Number 2139–0009.
The overall length of the questionnaire
for the 2020 NCFO will remain
consistent with that of previous years.
The survey will be administered to
the entire population of ferry operators
(estimate 250 or less). The survey will
request the respondents to provide
information such as: the points served;
the type of ownership; the number of
passengers and vehicles carried in the
past 12 months; vessel descriptions
(including type of fuel), federal, state
and local funding sources, and
intermodal connectivity. All data
collected in 2020 will be added to the
existing NCFO database.
Data Confidentiality Provisions: The
National Census of Ferry Operators may
collect confidential business
information. The confidentiality of these
data will be protected under 49 CFR
7.29. In accordance with this regulation,
only statistical and non-sensitive
business information will be made
available through publications and
public use data files. The statistical
public use data are intended to provide
an aggregated source of information on
ferry boat operations nationwide.
Business sensitive information may be
shared with FHWA to support FAST
Act funding allocations.
Frequency: This survey will be
updated every other year.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: The burden per respondent is
estimated to be an average of 30
minutes. This average is based on an
estimate of 20 minutes to answer
questions that require answers specific
to that year and an additional 10
minutes to review (and revise as
needed) previously submitted data that
will be pre-populated for each ferry
operation.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total annual burden (in the year that the
survey is conducted) is estimated to be
125 hours (that is 30 minutes per
respondent for 250 respondents equals
7,500 minutes).
Response to Comments: A 60-day
notice requesting public comment was
issued in the Federal Register on
February 15, 2019. No comments were
received.
Public Comments Invited: Interested
parties are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this information
collection, including, but not limited to:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
information collection for the proper
performance of the functions of the
DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, clarity and content of the
18635
collected information; and (4) ways to
minimize the collection burden without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. Send comments to the
