Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) is an extension without change of a currently approved information collection under OMB control number 2132-0579 “National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.” This submission includes an overall increase in total burden hours, despite a decrease in the total number of respondents, is attributed to a corresponding increase in the total number of responses. This is not a result of any action by FTA or change in statuary requirements. This change is driven by the respondent universe with an increase in the number of Tier II providers who are now submitting individual plans. This indicates a shift in reporting, suggesting either the presence of new reporters or former participants in a Group TAM Plan who are now reporting individually. The entities that must respond are Tier I (large transit agencies) and Tier II (small transit agencies). Tier I providers are recipients that own, operate, or manage either 1-101 or more vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, or operate rail transit. Tier II providers are entities that 1.) operate 1-100 or fewer vehicles in revenue service during peak regular service across all non-rail fixed route modes or in any one non-fixed route mode, 2.) a sub recipient under the 5311 Rural Area Formula Program, or 3.) are considered an American Indian tribe. Both of these respondents were included in the initial IC submission in 2016. The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets must develop TAM plans. This information collection is to be maintained on a yearly basis and submitted every four years. That data is submitted to FTA during the submission of their performance measures and targets electronically into the National Transit Database.

Short Statement: This information collection request is for a renewal without change to the information being collected, as there have been no programmatic or statutory changes to the TAM program requirements. The overall increase in total burden hours, despite a decrease in the total number of respondents, is attributed to a corresponding increase in the total number of responses. This change is driven by the respondent universe and is not a result of any action by the FTA or a change in statutory requirements. Specifically, there is an increase in the number of Tier II providers who are now submitting individual plans, indicating a shift in reporting that suggests either the presence of new reporters or former participants in a Group TAM Plan who are now reporting individually.
