    Title: Job Access and Reverse Commute (OMB Number: 2132-0563).
    Background: The Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program, 
provided grants for filling gaps in employment transportation. The 
primary beneficiaries of this program were low-income families and 
families coming off welfare assistance who otherwise would have a 
difficult time getting to jobs and related services, such as child care 
and training. The program was begun in 1999 and was continued under 
Section 5316 of the federal transportation legislation, Safe, 
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy 
for Users (SAFETEA-LU), passed by Congress in 2005. The JARC program 
authorized two kinds of grants: Job Access grants (aimed at developing 
new transportation services for low-income workers and/or filling in 
gaps in existing services) and Reverse Commute projects (intended to 
provide transportation to suburban jobs from urban, rural and other 
suburban locations--but not necessarily just for low-income people). 
The JARC program was repealed under the Moving Ahead for Progress in 
the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Although the program has expired, JARC 
activities are eligible for funding under FTA's Urbanized Area Formula 
Grants (Section 5307) and the Formula Grants for Rural Areas (Section 
5311) programs. However, funds previously authorized for the program 
repealed by MAP-21 remain available for their originally authorized 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expended, the funds are rescinded by Congress, or the funds are 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.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 160 respondents.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 46,074 hours.
    Frequency: Annually.

Deputy Associate Administrator for Administration.
