Abstract:
The purpose of this request is to seek the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) renewal of a currently approved information collection. As a result of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) (Pub. L. 112-141, July 6, 2012), FTA grant recipients of chapter 53 funds are now required to report to the NTD any information relating to a transit asset inventory or condition assessment conducted by the recipient (49 U.S.C. 5335(c)). Currently, the NTD only collects asset inventory information on revenue vehicles and summary counts for other asset categories, such as maintenance facilities and fixed guideway. With this ICR, FTA will now collect additional asset inventory data to meet the asset inventory and condition reporting requirements at 49 U.S.C. 5335(c). The reporting requirements will be optional in report year 2017 with full implementation required in report year 2018. As a result of comments received during the 60-Day Supplemental Notice for Comment, this ICR is being done concurrently with the release of the final rule for the Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan since the asset management data for that IC will utilize the NTD as the reporting mechanism.

Short Statement:
This supporting statement is associated with a request for the expansion of reporting requirements for asset inventory in the National Transit Database (NTD). As required in MAP-21, recipients of FTA funding must report any information relating to a transit asset inventory or condition assessment to the NTD. While the NTD now collects asset inventory information on revenue vehicles and summary counts for other assets, such as maintenance facilities and fixed guideway systems, this information collection requests the addition of all asset inventory data into the currently approved NTD information collection program. The change in this collection reflects an increase in total burden hours from 302,400 in the previous approved information collection to an annual total burden hours of 323,435, an addition of 21,035 burden hours.
