Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information 
Collection Requirements (ICRs) abstracted below have been forwarded to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The 
ICRs describes the nature of the information collection and the 
expected burdens.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tia Swain, Office of Administration, 
Office of Management Planning, (202) 366-0354.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

49 U.S.C. Section 5317--New Freedom Program (OMB Number 2132-0565)

    Abstract: The purpose of the New Freedom program was to make grants 
available to assist states and designated recipients to reduce barriers 
to transportation services and expand the transportation mobility 
options available to people with disabilities beyond the requirements 
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The New Freedom 
program was repealed in 2012 with the enactment of the Moving Ahead for 
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). However, funds previously 
authorized for programs repealed by MAP-21 remain available for their 
originally authorized purposes until the period of availability 
expires, the funds are fully expended, the funds are rescinded by 
Congress, or the funds are otherwise reallocated. To meet program 
oversight responsibilities, FTA must continue to collect information 
until the period of availability expires, the funds are fully expended, 
the funds are rescinded by Congress, or the funds are otherwise 
reallocated. Grant recipients are required to make information 
available to the public and to publish a program of projects which 
identifies the sub-recipients and projects for which the State or 
designated recipient is applying for financial assistance. FTA uses the 
information to monitor the grantees' progress in implementing and 
completing project activities. FTA collects performance information 
annually from designated recipients in rural areas, small urbanized 
areas, other direct recipients for small urbanized areas, and 
designated recipients in urbanized areas of 200,000 persons or greater. 
FTA collects milestone and financial status reports from designated 
recipients in large urbanized areas on a quarterly basis. The 
information submitted ensures FTA's compliance with applicable federal 
laws and OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements (Super Circular). The 
Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments for the 49 U.S.C. Sections 5317--New Freedom Program was 
published on April 5, 2016 (Vol. 81, No. 65) pages 19710-1971). No 
comments were received from that notice.

    Estimated Total Burden: 14,640 hours.
