SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice announces the intention of the Federal Transit Administration 
(FTA) to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew the 
following information collection:

49 U.S.C. Section 5337 State of Good Repair Program

    OMB Control No.: 2132-0577.
    49 U.S.C. Section 5337, the State of Good Repair Grants Program was 
authorized by Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). 
It was reauthorized under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation 
(FAST) Act Section 3015. This 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. Eligible recipients include state and 
local government 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 information 
submitted ensures FTA's compliance with applicable federal laws.
