Abstract:
The information collection request is for an extension without change of a currently approved information collection (IC) under OMB control number 2132-0574 “49 U.S.C. Section 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program”. The grant program was repealed by Congress under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) in 2012. The Transit in Parks Program addressed the challenge of increasing vehicle congestion in and around our national parks and other federal lands. America’s national parks, wildlife refuges, and national forests were created to protect unique environmental and cultural treasures, but are now facing traffic, pollution and crowding that diminishes the visitor experience and threatens the environment. To address these concerns, this program provided funding for the planning and capital costs of alternative transportation systems, such as shuttle buses, rail connections and even bicycle trails. The program provided grants to such respondents as Federal land management agencies, including but not limited to the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, and to State, tribal and local governments. This is a mandatory collection of information as FTA must continue to collect information under the program management stage until the period of availability expires; the funds are fully expended; the funds are rescinded by Congress; or the funds are otherwise reallocated. Since being repealed, the number of respondents affected by this IC will continue to decrease until all funds are expired. Once there are no more open grants, this IC will be discontinued. There are currently 2 transit agencies across the country that still have open grants that require reporting requirements under the program management stage. The is only report required under this program and a Milestone report and is submitted on an annual basis. As a result the burden hours have now decreased to 8 annual burden hours. The report is submitted to the program manager and contain financial and project updates.

Short Statement:
This information collection reflects a change in burden. There is a burden decrease because the Transit in Parks Program was repealed by Congress under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Thus, the application stage and all information collected as part of this process in the program has been eliminated. This resulted in a significant decrease because the large pool of grantees submitting the comprehensive applications is no longer applicable. Thus, the Federal Government no longer needs to conduct detailed reviews of each of the applications for selection of funding. There are currently only four respondents with open grants requiring reporting under the Transit in Parks Program, as these projects still have federal funding associated with them. Once the funds are fully expended this information collection will be discontinued. Alternative transportation projects formerly eligible under Transit in Parks are now eligible under the Federal Highway Administration’s Federal Lands Transportation Program and the Federal Lands Access Program
