Abstract:
The Passenger Ferry Grant Program provides funding for passenger ferries through a competitive process for capital projects that support passenger ferry systems in urbanized areas, such as ferry vessels, terminals, and related infrastructure. The Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Pilot Program makes federal funds available to projects that supports the purchase of electric or low-emitting ferry vessels. The Ferry Service for Rural Communities Program makes federal funds available to states to ensure basic essential ferry service is provided to rural areas. The information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection which is due to expire on December 31, 2022. FTA began this information collection in June 2022 under a six-month OMB emergency approval. On September 27, 2022, FTA issued a 60-day Federal Register Notice (FRN) requesting the extension of the approved information collection under the regular Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance process. There were no comments received from that notice. As required, a 30-day FRN requesting public comments followed. There have been no changes to the respondent universe or burden since the initial emergency request. FTA is requesting OMB approval under the normal PRA process for up to three years. This is a voluntary program where recipients submit initial information at the application stage and if funding is received at the project management stage. Information by eligible recipients to include; designated Recipients of Section 5307 Funding, direct Recipients of Section 5307 Funding, public entities engaged in providing public transportation passenger ferry service in urban areas that are eligible to be a Direct Recipient, states, territories and tribal governments. The information is received online via FTA's transit award and grant management system. There are no changes to this IC as FTA has not applied any substantive changes or adjustments from the initial assumptions of the emergency approval. FTA plans to announce the first grant recipients of this program in early 2023.
