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 November 10,
2022, FTA published a 60-day notice
(87 FR 67996) 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.

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

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 suballocation 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 setaside of the State of Good Repair

Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5310Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and
Individuals with Disabilities & Section
5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula
Program.
OMB Number: 2132–0500.
Background: 49 U.S.C. 5310
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and
Individuals with Disabilities Program
provides formula funding to states and
designated recipients to meet the
transportation needs of older adults and
people with disabilities when the
transportation service provided is
unavailable, insufficient, or
inappropriate to meeting these needs.
Funds are apportioned based on each
state’s share of the population for these
two groups. Formula funds are
apportioned to designated recipients; for
rural and small urban areas, this is the
state Department of Transportation or a
local government entity that operates a
public transportation service, while in
large urban areas, a designated recipient
is chosen by the governor. Designated
recipients have flexibility in how they
select subrecipient projects for funding,
but their decision process must be
clearly noted in a state/program
management plan. The selection process
may be formula-based, competitive or
discretionary, and subrecipients can
include states or local government
authorities, private non-profit
organizations, and/or operators of
public transportation.
The program aims to improve
mobility for older adults and people
with disabilities by removing barriers to
transportation service and expanding
transportation mobility options. This
program supports transportation
services planned, designed, and carried

out to meet the special transportation
needs of seniors and individuals with
disabilities in all areas—large urbanized
(over 200,000), small urbanized
(50,000–200,000), and rural (under
50,000). Eligible projects include both
‘‘traditional’’ capital investment and
‘‘nontraditional’’ capital or operating
investment beyond the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary
paratransit services.
49 U.S.C. 5311—Formula Grants for
Rural Areas Program provides capital,
planning, and operating assistance to
states to support public transportation
in rural areas with populations of less
than 50,000, where many residents often
rely on public transit to reach their
destinations. The program also provides
funding for state and national training
and technical assistance through the
Rural Transportation Assistance
Program. Eligible direct recipients are
States and Indian Tribes. Eligible
subrecipients include states and local
governmental authorities, nonprofit
organizations, and operators of public
transportation or intercity bus service.
The Tribal Transit program provides
funding directly to federally recognized
Indian Tribes for capital, operating, and
planning purposes, through a formula
and a competitive program.
Respondents: States or local
governmental entities that operate a
public transportation service, federally
recognized Indian Tribes, and
designated recipients; or eligible
subrecipients.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 517 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
54,133 hours.
