In 2015, Congress instructed the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a nationwide disparity and availability study on the availability and use of small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and veteranowned small businesses in publicly funded intercity rail passenger transportation projects. The report for the study was provided to Congress in 2022. The report noted a gap in data available for analysis to determine if there is any disparity in rail transportation grant awards. To address the data gap identified in the report, FRA is proposing to add new form, FRA F 6180.281 titled, Small Business (SB) Commitments/Awards and Payments. The proposed data collection will address this gap and aid future considerations of the application of the DBE program. The purpose of FRA F 6180.281 is to collect data from grant recipients to determine the amount of dollars from FRA grants and contracts that flow to small, women-owned and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). This would identify all prime contractors, sub-contractors, consultants, and vendors that FRA grant recipients worked with and on which they spent grant funds. Additionally, the proposed new form, FRA F 6180.281 ‘‘SB Commitments/Awards and Payments’’ would be used by FRA to carry out its oversight responsibilities of non-Federal entities receiving grant funds. This collection of information aligns with DOT’s Strategic Goal of Equity as it supports establishing economic equity for small businesses owned by disadvantaged individuals and promoting development opportunities. Type of Request: Approval of a new collection of information. Affected Public: Generally, includes States and local governments and railroads. Form(s): FRA F 6180.281. Respondent Universe: 140 grant recipients. Frequency of Submission: Annually. Total Estimated Annual Responses: 140. Total Estimated Annual Burden: 49,980 hours. Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour Dollar Cost Equivalent: $2,289,584. FRA informs all interested parties that it may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, a collection of information that does not display a currently valid OMB control number.
