SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FTA's Office of Budget and Policy is 
reopening the comment period for the Federal Register notice on 
National Transit Database Reporting Changes and Clarifications, 
originally published on October 31, 2024 (89 FR 86907). Given the 
complex nature of these reporting requirements and its impact on NTD 
reporting agencies, it is essential that transit agencies and all 
affected parties have sufficient time to review these proposals and 
comment on them if so desired. The extension is supported by FTA's 
Transit Advisory Committee for Safety and FTA's Office of Transit 
Safety, as the notice contains proposed changes that impact safety and 
security reporting as well. In support of public transportation safety, 
in light of the comment period coinciding with the end-of-year 
holidays, and to allow for more input on the implementation of these 
reporting changes, FTA believes offering the standard 30-day extension 
of time is justified and is reopening the comment period until January 
29, 2025.

Veronica Vanterpool,
Deputy Administrator.
