    Title: 49 U.S.C. Sections 5310 and 5311--Capital Assistance Program 
for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities and Non-Urbanized 
Area Formula Program (OMB Number: 2132-0561)
    Background: 49 U.S.C. 5310--Capital Assistance Program for Elderly 
Persons and Persons with Disabilities provides financial assistance for 
the specialized transportation service needs of elderly persons and 
persons with disabilities in large urban, small urban and rural areas. 
Formula funding is apportioned to direct recipients: States for rural 
(under 50,000 population) and small urban (areas (50,000-200,000); and 
designated recipients chosen by the Governor of the State for large 
urban areas (populations or 200,000 or more); or a State or local 
governmental entity that operates a public transit service. Section 
3006(b) of Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), 
Public Law 114-94 authorizes a pilot program for innovative coordinated 
access and mobility. 49 U.S.C. 5311--Formula Grants for Rural Areas 
provides financial assistance for the provision of public 
transportation services in rural areas. This program is administered by 
States. The Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program or 
Tribal Transit Program (TTP), is authorized as 49 U.S.C. 5311(j). The 
TTP is a set-aside from the Rural Area Formula Program (Section 5311), 
and consists of a $30 million formula program and a $5 million 
discretionary grant program. These funds are apportioned directly to 
Indian tribes. Eligible recipients of TTP program funds include 
federally recognized Indian tribes, or Alaska Native villages, groups, 
or communities as identified by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 49 U.S.C. 
5310 and 5311 authorize FTA to review applications for federal 
financial assistance to determine eligibility and compliance with 
statutory and administrative requirements. The applications must 
contain sufficient information to enable FTA to make the findings 
required by law to enforce the requirements of the programs. 
Information collected during the project management stage provides a 
basis for monitoring approved projects to ensure timely and appropriate 
expenditure of federal funds by grant recipients.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: Approximately 111 hours for 
each of the 178 respondents.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 20,882 hours.
    Frequency: Annual.

Deputy Associate Administrator for Administration.
