Planning, (202) 366–6680. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Bus Testing Program. 

Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5323(c) provides 

that no federal funds that are 

appropriated or made available after 

September 30, 1989, may be obligated or 

expended for the acquisition of a new 

bus model (including any model using 

alternative fuels) unless the bus has 

been tested at the Bus Testing Center 

(Center) in Altoona, Pennsylvania. 49 

U.S.C. 5318(a) further specifies that 

each new bus model is to be tested for 

maintainability, reliability, safety, 

performance (including braking 

performance), structural integrity, fuel 

economy, emissions, and noise. 

The operator of the Bus Testing 

Center, the Thomas D. Larson 

Pennsylvania Transportation Institute 

(LTI), has entered into a cooperative 

agreement with FTA. LTI operates and 

maintains the Center, and establishes 

and collects fees for the testing of the 

vehicles at the facility. A test report is 

given to the manufacturer of the new 

bus model after the vehicle has been 

tested at the Center. The bus 

manufacturer certifies to an FTA grantee 

that the bus the grantee is purchasing 

has been tested at the Center. Also, 

grantees who are considering the 

purchase of a bus use this report to 

assist them in making their purchasing 

decisions. LTI maintains a reference file 

for all the test reports which are made 

available to the public. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 404 

hours. 

Title: 49 U.S.C. 5312(a) Transit 

Research, Development, Demonstration 

and Deployment Projects. 

Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5312(a) authorizes 

the Secretary of Transportation to make 

grants or contracts for research, 

development, demonstration and 

deployment projects, and evaluation of 

technology of national significance to 

public transportation, that the Secretary 

determines will improve mass 

transportation service or help 

transportation service meet the total 

urban transportation needs at a 

minimum cost. In carrying out the 

provisions of this section, the Secretary 

is also authorized to request and receive 

appropriate information from any 

source. As an example, FTA’s United 

We Ride Program is funded under the 

Transit Research Program. Research for 

the United We Ride Program is being 

conducted to gather information on how 

the objectives of Executive Order 13330 

on Human Services Transportation 

Coordination are being achieved. 

The information collected is 

submitted as part of the application for 

grants and cooperative agreements and 

is used to determine eligibility of 

applicants. Collection of this 

information also provides 

documentation that the applicants and 

recipients are meeting program 

objectives and are complying with FTA 

Circular 6100.1B and other Federal 

requirements. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

11,240 hours. 

ADDRESSES: All written comments must 

refer to the docket number that appears 

at the top of this document and be 

submitted to the Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention: FTA Desk Officer. 

Comments Are Invited On: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

efforts to restrain excessive executive
