Under 49 U.S.C. Section 5309, FTA is required to publish regulations on how proposed major fixed guideway transit investments ("New Starts") will be evaluated against criteria established by statue. This Rule codifies existing practice. SAFETEA-LU, in addition to outlining the New Starts program, established a new "Small Starts" program.

Short Statement:
FTA has been collecting data for the purpose of evaluating candidate New Starts projects, but SAFETEA-LU has created a streamlined evaluation and project development process for Small Starts. Since there has been no prior regulatory requirement to collect this data, the entire burden increase is therefore attributable to these new requirements. The burden increased by 5,840 hours as a result of this new requirement by the SAFETEA-LU regulation.
