Short Statement: The total burden estimates for States and Rail Transit Agencies is significantly lower than the previous estimate due to a more accurate methodology for estimating information collection burden. Previous estimates included labor hours totals for all SSO Program-related activities. The new estimate includes only burden hours related to information collection activity. FTA is also deploying a new web-based system (SSOR) to facilitate the SSOA annual reporting requirement which will reduce burden related to the annual reporting process through a streamlined reporting process and the elimination of States event reporting requirements (The National Transit Database now pulls that information directly into the SSOR so the States don't have the burden of reporting it). There is also an increase in responses in this submission due to the respondents increasing from 90 in 2016 to 96 in 2019. The new IC submission includes one new State being certified and five new rail transit agencies being added to the program.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $667,656
