13948 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 51 / Tuesday, March 17, 2015 / Notices 

announce actions taken by Caltrans and 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that are 

final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 

139(l)(1). The actions relate to a 

proposed highway project known as 

CURE Safety Improvement that 

proposes to remove all fixed objects in 

the clear recovery zone along a 4-mile 

section of the southbound roadside of 

Highway 101 between King City and 

Greenfield in Monterey County, State of 

California. Those actions grant licenses, 

permits, and approvals for the project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on 

behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public 

of final agency actions subject to 23 

U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking 

judicial review of the Federal agency 

actions on the highway project will be 

barred unless the claim is filed on or 

before August 14, 2015. If the Federal 

law that authorizes judicial review of a 

claim provides a time period of less 

than 150 days for filing such claim, then 

that shorter time period still applies.

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval to renew the following 

information collection: 

49 U.S.C. 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes Transit

The information collected is 

necessary to determine eligibility of 

applicants and ensure the proper and 

timely expenditure of federal funds 

within the scope of the program. The 

Federal Register notice with a 60-day 

comment period soliciting comments for 

the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks 

Program was published on December 

29, 2014 (Citation 79 FR 248). No 

comments were received from that 

notice. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

before April 16, 2015. A comment to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 49 U.S.C. 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes 

Transit in Parks Program (OMB Number: 

2132–0574). 

Abstract: This collection involves 

FTA’s Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks 

Program. This program is necessary 

because it addresses the challenge of 

increasing traffic pollution and 

crowding in and around our National 

parks and other federal lands. To 

address these concerns, this program 

has provided more than $163 million in 

funding for alternative transportation 

systems, such as shuttle buses, rail 

connections and even bicycle trails. On 

October 1, 2013, the Paul S. Sarbanes 

Transit in Parks Program was repealed

by Congress under the Moving Ahead 

for Progress in the 21st Century Act 

(MAP–21). However, to meet federal 

program oversight responsibilities, FTA 

must continue to collect information 

under the program management stage 

until the period of availability expires; 

the funds are fully expended; the funds 

are rescinded by Congress; or the funds 

are otherwise reallocated. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 370 

hours. 

ADDRESSES: All written comments must

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.

ACTION: Notice of request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration invites public comment 

about its intention to request the Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

approval to renew the following 

information collection: 

49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b) National 

Transit Database (NTD) 

The information collected is 

necessary to determine eligibility of 

applicants and ensure the proper and 

timely expenditure of federal funds 

within the scope of the program. The 

Federal Register notice with a 60-day 

comment period soliciting comments for 

the National Transit Database was 

published on December 29, 2014 

(Citation 79 FR 248). No comments were 

received from that notice. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b) 

National Transit Database (NTD) (OMB 

Number: 2132–0008). 

Abstract: This collection involves 

FTA’s National Transit Database (NTD) 

program. This information collection is 

important because U.S.C. 5335 requires 

the Secretary of Transportation 

‘‘maintain a reporting system, using 

uniform categories to accumulate public 

transportation financial and operating 

information using a uniform system of 

accounts.’’ Additionally, 49 U.S.C. 

5335(b) specifies that the Secretary may 

award grants under FTA’s Urbanized 

Area Formula Program or Other Than 

Urbanized Area Formula Program 

(Sections 5307 and 5311) ‘‘only if the 

applicant and any person that will 

receive benefits directly from the grant 

are subject to the reporting and uniform 

systems.’’ The National Transit Database 

is the reporting system established to 

meet this requirement. NTD data is used 

by FTA in assessing applications from 

transit agencies for discretionary grants 

and in conducting oversight reviews of 

grantees to ensure compliance with 

federal grant requirements. In addition, 

NTD data is used by State and local 

governments, as well as individual 

transit agencies, to conduct performance 

benchmarking among peer transit 

systems. NTD data is also frequently 

used by academic researchers seeking to 

better understand public transportation 

systems. NTD data are frequently cited 

in the proceedings of the Transportation 

Research Board. NTD data is also 

valuable to the transit agencies that are 

themselves reporting the data and are 

key components of the American Public 

Transportation Association’s Annual 

Factbook and data on capital assets. 

Finally, time series of NTD data are 

frequently used by suppliers of transit 

equipment and services to evaluate 

market trends and by government at all 

levels to guide transit investment 

decisions. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

26,000 hours.
