SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 October 18,
2019, FTA published a 60-day notice
(84 FR 56012) 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.

5307) makes federal resources available
to urbanized areas and to governors for
transit capital and operating assistance
in urbanized areas and for
transportation-related planning. An
urbanized area is an incorporated area
with a population of 50,000 or more that
is designated as such by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of the
Census. Funding is made available to
designated recipients that are public
bodies with the legal authority to
receive and dispense federal funds.
Governors, responsible local officials
and publicly owned operators of transit
services shall designate a recipient to
apply for, receive, and dispense funds
for urbanized areas. The governor or
governor’s designee acts as the
designated recipient for urbanized areas
between 50,000 and 200,000. For
urbanized areas with 200,000 in
population and over, funds are
apportioned and flow directly to a
designated recipient selected locally to
apply for and receive Federal funds. For
urbanized areas under 200,000 in
population, the funds are apportioned to
the governor of each state for
distribution. Eligible activities include:
Planning, engineering, design and
evaluation of transit projects and other
technical transportation-related studies;
capital investments in bus and busrelated activities such as replacement,
overhaul and rebuilding of buses, crime
prevention and security equipment and
construction of maintenance and
passenger facilities; and capital
investments in new and existing fixed
guideway systems including rolling
stock, overhaul and rebuilding of
vehicles, track, signals,
communications, and computer
hardware and software. In addition,
associated transit improvements and
certain expenses associated with
mobility management programs are
eligible under the program. All
preventive maintenance and some
Americans with Disabilities Act
complementary paratransit service costs
are considered capital costs. This
information collection includes a
decrease in burden due to the reduced
reporting requirement for projects under
two million in large UZAs. FTA has
eliminated quarterly reporting
requirements for any grant under the
two-million-dollar threshold.
Respondents: State or local
governmental entities that operates a
public transportation service.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 1,560.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
