Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and 

Persons with Disabilities and Nonurbanized 

Area Formula Program (OMB Number: 2132–

0500) 

Background: The Capital Assistance 

Program for Elderly Persons and Persons 

with Disabilities provides financial 

assistance for the specialized 

transportation service needs of elderly 

persons and persons with disabilities. 

The program is administered by the 

States and may be used in all areas, 

urbanized, small urban, and rural. The 

Nonurbanized Area Formula Program 

provides financial assistance for the 

provision of public transportation 

services in nonurbanized areas and this 

program is also administered by the 

States. 49 U.S.C. 5310 and 5311 

authorize FTA to review applications 

for federal financial assistance to 

determine eligibility and compliance 

with statutory and administrative 

requirements. Information collected 

during the application stage includes 

the project budget, which identifies 

funds requested for project 

implementation; a program of projects, 

which identifies subrecipients to be 

funded, the amount of funding that each 

will receive, and a description of the 

projects to be funded; the project 

implementation plan; the State 

management plan; a list of annual 

certifications and assurances; and 

public hearings notice, certification and 

transcript. The applications must 

contain sufficient information to enable 

FTA to make the findings required by 

law to enforce the program 

requirements. Information collected 

during the project management stage 

includes an annual financial report, an 

annual program status report, and preaward and post-delivery audits. The 

annual financial report and program 

status report provide a basis for 

monitoring approved projects to ensure 

timely and appropriate expenditure of 

federal funds by grant recipients. 

Respondents: State and local 

government, business or other for-profit 

institutions, non-profit institutions, and 

small business organizations. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 102.44 hours for each of 

the respondents.
