    Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5337 State of Good Repair Program.
    OMB Number: 2132-0577.
    Background: 49 U.S.C. Section 5337, the State of Good Repair Grants 
Program authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to make grants to 
designated recipients to maintain, replace, and rehabilitate high 
intensity fixed guideway systems and high intensity motorbus systems in 
a state of good repair. Projects that are eligible for the State of 
Good Repair Program funds must be in a recipient's Transit Asset 
Management plan. Eligible recipients include state and local 
governmental authorities in urbanized areas with high intensity fixed 
guideway systems and/or high intensity motorbus systems operating for 
at least seven years. Projects are funded at 80 percent federal with a 
20 percent local match requirement by statute. FTA will apportion funds 
to designated recipients. The designated recipients will then allocate 
funds as appropriate to recipients that are public entities in the 
urbanized areas. FTA can make grants to direct recipients after sub-
allocation of funds. Recipients apply for grants electronically, and 
FTA collects milestone and financial status reports from designated 
recipients on a quarterly basis. The Competitive Rail Vehicle 
Replacement Grant (Rail Program) is a discretionary grant program to 
assist in funding the replacement of rail rolling stock. The Rail 
Program (49 U.S.C. 5337(f)) a set-aside of the State of Good Repair 
Formula Grants Program (49 U.S.C. 5337).
    The information submitted ensures FTA's compliance with applicable 
federal laws.

    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 1,044.
    Estimated Total Respondents: 68.
