SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Interest Rates 

The Small Business Administration 

publishes an interest rate called the 

optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 120.214) on 

a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted 

average cost of money to the 

government for maturities similar to the 

average SBA direct loan. This rate may 

be used as a base rate for guaranteed 

fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This 

rate will be 3.000 (3) percent for the 

January–March quarter of FY 2011. 

Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the 

maximum legal interest rate for any 

third party lender’s commercial loan 

which funds any portion of the cost of 

a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall 

be 6% over the New York Prime rate or, 

if that exceeds the maximum interest 

rate permitted by the constitution or 

laws of a given State, the maximum 

interest rate will be the rate permitted 

by the constitution or laws of the given 

State.

Agency Information Collection Activity 

Under OMB Review 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, 

DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration invites public comment 

about our intention to request the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval to renew the following 

information collection: 

Metropolitan and Statewide 

Transportation Planning. The 

information collected for this program is 

necessary to identify and evaluate the 

transportation issues and needs in each 

urbanized area and throughout every 

state. The Federal Register notice with 

a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments was published on October 13, 

2010. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

before January 26, 2011. A comment to 

OMB is most effective if OMB receives 

it within 30 days of publication.

Administration, Office of Management 

Planning, (202) 366–6680. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Metropolitan and Statewide 

Transportation Planning. 

Abstract: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) and Federal 

Highway Administration (FHWA) 

jointly carry out the federal mandate to 

improve urban and rural transportation. 

49 U.S.C. 5303 and 5304 and 23 U.S.C. 

134 and 135 authorize the use of federal 

funds to assist Metropolitan Planning 

Organizations (MPOs), States, and local 

public bodies in developing 

transportation plans and programs to 

serve the transportation needs of 

urbanized areas over 50,000 in 

population and other areas of States 

outside of urbanized areas. The 

information collection activities 

involved in developing the Unified 

Planning Work Program (UPWP), the 

Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the 

Statewide Transportation Improvement 

Plan, the Transportation Improvement 

Program (TIP), and the Statewide 

Transportation Improvement Program 

(STIP) are necessary to identify and 

evaluate the transportation issues and 

needs in each urbanized area and 

throughout every state. These products 

of the transportation planning process 

are essential elements in the reasonable 

planning and programming of federally 

funded transportation investments. 

In addition to serving as management 

tools for MPOs and State DOTs, the 

UPWP and State Planning and Research 

(SP&R) Work Program are used by both 

FTA and FHWA to monitor the 

transportation planning activities of 

those agencies. It is also needed to 

establish national out year budgets and 

regional program plans, develop policy 

on using funds, monitor State and local 

compliance with national technical 

emphasis areas, respond to 

Congressional inquiries, prepare 

Congressional testimony, and ensure 

efficiency in the use and expenditure of 

federal funds by determining that 

planning proposals are both reasonable 

and cost-effective. 49 U.S.C. 5303 and 

23 U.S.C.134(h) require the 

development of TIPs for urbanized 

areas; STIPs are mandated by 49 U.S.C. 

5304 and 23 U.S.C. 235(f) for an entire 

State. After approval by the Governor 

and MPO, metropolitan TIPs in 

attainment areas are to be incorporated 

directly into the STIP. For 

nonattainment areas, FTA/FHWA must 

make a conformity finding on the TIPs 

before including them into the STIP. 

The complete STIP is then jointly 

reviewed and approved or disapproved 

by FTA and FHWA. These conformity 

findings and approval actions constitute 

the determination that States are 

complying with the requirements of 23 

U.S.C. 235 and 49 U.S.C. 5303 and 5304 

as a condition of eligibility for federalaid funding. Without these documents, 

approvals and findings, capital and/or 

operating assistance cannot be provided. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

270,756 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.
