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 August 24,
2022, FTA published a 60-day notice
(87 FR 52109) in the Federal Register
soliciting comments on the ICR that the
agency was seeking OMB approval. FTA
received one anonymous non-significant
comment not associated with
information collection or burden.
Accordingly, DOT announces that these
information collection activities have
been re-evaluated 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.
Title: Public Transportation
Emergency Relief Program.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0575.
Background: Since the authorization
of the Public Transportation Emergency
Relief Program in 2012, Congress has
appropriated funds three times for
transit agencies affected by disaster.
The first appropriation of funds for
the program was in 2013 following
Hurricane Sandy, for which the
President declared a major disaster for
areas of 12 States and the District of
Columbia. Under the Disaster Relief
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 113–2),
Congress provided $10.9 billion for
FTA’s Emergency Relief Program for
recovery, relief, and resilience efforts in
the counties specified in the disaster
declaration. Approximately $10.0
billion remained available after
implementation of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
2011 (Pub. L. 112–25) and after
intergovernmental transfers to other
bureaus and offices within DOT. FTA
has allocated the full amount in
multiple tiers for response, recovery and
rebuilding; for locally prioritized
resilience projects, and for
competitively selected resilience
projects.
The second appropriation of funds for
the Emergency Relief Program was in
2018 following Hurricanes Harvey,
Irma, and Maria, for which the President
declared major disasters in areas of
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Puerto Rico,
South Carolina, Texas, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. Under the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123),
Congress provided $330 million for
FTA’s Emergency Relief Program for
transit systems affected by Hurricanes
Harvey, Irma, and Maria. On May 31,
2018 FTA allocated $277.5 million for
response, recovery, rebuilding, and
resilience projects.
The third appropriation of funds for
the Emergency Relief Program was in
2019. Under the Additional
Supplemental Appropriations for
Disaster Relief Act of 2019, Congress
appropriated $10.5 million for FTA’s
Emergency Relief Program for transit
systems affected by major declared
disasters occurring in calendar year
2018.
On March 13, 2020, FTA announced
that expanded eligibility of federal
assistance is available under FTA’s
Emergency Relief Program to help
transit agencies respond to the
coronavirus (COVID–19) in states where
the Governor has declared an
emergency. This includes allowing all
transit providers, including those in
large urban areas, to use federal formula
funds for emergency-related capital and
operating expenses, and raises the cap
on the federal government’s share of
those expenses.
Respondents: States, local
governmental authorities, Indian tribes
and other FTA recipients impacted by
Hurricane Sandy which affected midAtlantic and northeastern states in
October 2012; Hurricane Harvey which
affected areas of Texas and Louisiana in
August 2017; and Hurricanes Irma and
Maria which affected the southeastern
states and the territories of the Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in
September 2017, and by major declared
disasters occurring in calendar year
2018.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 26.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,680 hours.
