Abstract: This information collection (IC) request is for a three-year extension with a revision to a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0577 “49 U.S.C. State of Good Repair.” The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is submitted to FTA to provide capital assistance for the maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation projects of high-intensity fixed guideway and bus systems to help transit agencies maintain assets in a state of good repair. Eligible recipients are state and local government authorities in Urbanized Areas (UZAs) with fixed guideway and high intensity motorbus systems in revenue service for at least seven years. The recipients must apply to receive federal funds and then provide various reports (milestone and financial reports) as necessary to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of federal funds within the scope of the approved project. This information is collected on yearly basis. That information is submitted to FTA's regional and headquarters staff via an application in GRANTS.gov and once awarded information is submitted into FTA’s electronic Transit Award Management System (TrAMS). This request includes an increase in respondents’ due to new applications received and an increase in burden hours proportionally.

Short Statement: The revision is associated with a change in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) which created a new discretionary grant program (Rail Vehicle Replacement-RVP) under the State of Good Repair (SGR) program. The RVP makes funding available competitively to help fund capital projects to replace rail rolling stock. The additional funding increased the number of respondents eligible to apply for the SGR program from 1,044 in 2020 to 1,097 in this 2023 current submittal. As a result, the burden hours also increased from 13,217 to 13,729. There have been no other changes to the program, outside of the additional usage of the funding for RVP programs.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $198,985
