FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2,
109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to issue
two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On June 18, 2019,
FTA published a 60-day notice (84 FR
28383) in the Federal Register soliciting
comments on the ICR that the agency
was seeking OMB approval. FTA
received no comments after issuing this
60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT
announces that these information
collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c).
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.

Bus Facilities Formula Program.

and to construct bus-related facilities

be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval of this
information collection.
Title: 49 U.S.C. 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repealed in 2012 with the enactment of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.
Respondents: State and local
government, private non-profit
organizations and public transportation
authorities.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 106.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,240.
Frequency: Annually.
