public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 

CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 

30-day notice informs the regulated 

community to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 

29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should 

submit their respective comments to 

OMB within 30 days of publication to 

best ensure having their full effect. 5 

CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. 

The summaries below describe the 

nature of the information collection 

requirements (ICRs) and the expected 

burden. The requirements are being 

submitted for clearance by OMB as 

required by the PRA. 

Title: Nondiscrimination as It Applies 

to FTA Grant Programs. 

OMB Control Number: 2132–0542. 

Type of Request: The Federal Transit 

Laws, 49 U.S.C. 5332(b), provide that

in part through financial assistance 

under this Act.’’ This applies to 

employment and business opportunities

the provisions of Title VI of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Section 

504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2, 

109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised 

at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 

1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On December 8, 

2021 FTA published a 60-day notice (86 

FR 69712) in the Federal Register 

soliciting comments on the ICR that the 

agency was seeking OMB approval. FTA 

received no comments after issuing this 

60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT 

announces that these information 

collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR 

1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for 

review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12(c). 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve these proposed collections of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 

CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30-day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 

29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should

The summaries below describe the 

nature of the information collection 

requirements (ICRs) and the expected 

burden. The requirements are being 

submitted for clearance by OMB as 

required by the PRA. 

Title: Job Access and Reverse 

Commute Program. 

OMB Control Number: 2132–0563. 

Type of Request: The Job Access and 

Reverse Commute (JARC) program, 

provided grants for filling gaps in 

employment transportation. The 

primary beneficiaries of this program 

were low-income families and families 

coming off welfare assistance who 

otherwise would have a difficult time 

getting to jobs and related services, such 

as child care and training. The program 

was begun in 1999 and was continued 

under Section 5316 of the federal 

transportation legislation, Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU), passed by 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
7900 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 28 / Thursday, February 10, 2022 / Notices 

Congress in 2005. The JARC program 

authorized two kinds of grants: Job 

Access grants (aimed at developing new 

transportation services for low-income 

workers and/or filling in gaps in 

existing services) and Reverse Commute 

projects (intended to provide 

transportation to suburban jobs from 

urban, rural and other suburban 

locations—but not necessarily just for 

low-income people). The JARC program 

was repealed under the Moving Ahead 

for Progress in the 21st Century Act 

(MAP–21). Although the program has 

expired, JARC activities are eligible for 

funding under FTA’s Urbanized Area 

Formula Grants (Section 5307) and the 

Formula Grants for Rural Areas (Section 

5311) programs. However, funds 

previously authorized for the program 

repealed by MAP–21 remain available 

for their originally authorized purposes 

until the period of availability expires, 

the funds are fully expended, the funds 

are rescinded by Congress, or the funds 

are otherwise reallocated. 

Respondents: State and local 

government, business or other for-profit 

institutions, and non-profit institutions. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondents: 

49. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 2 hours. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 98 hours. 

Frequency: Annually.
