Title: Rail Fixed Guideway Systems; 

State Safety Oversight 

(OMB Number: 2132–0558) 

Background: FTA administers a 

national program for public 

transportation safety under 49 U.S.C. 

Section 5329. One element of this 

program, at 49 U.S.C. 5329(e), requires 

States to oversee the safety of the rail 

transit agencies (RTAs) in their 

jurisdictions, including heavy and light 

rail systems, streetcars, inclined planes, 

cable cars, monorail/automated 

guideways and hybrid rail. Through this 

program, State Safety Oversight 

Agencies (SSOAs) ensure that RTAs 

identify and address safety risks, follow 

their safety rules and procedures, and 

take corrective action to address safety 

deficiencies. 

The information collection activities 

request is for a renewal without change 

of a currently approved collection. The 

information collection focus is on the 

activities of SSOAs and RTAs to report 

information to FTA. This request for 

renewal of an existing information 

collection does not reflect any changes 

as a result of the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law. In the event that 

FTA updates State Safety Oversight 

requirements, FTA will seek comment 

from stakeholders through the 

publication of a separate Federal 

Register Notice outside of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act process. 

The information collection request 

includes the annual report FTA requires 

from SSOAs, FTA’s grant management 

reporting requirement and the triennial 

audit program, which requires 

information from both SSOAs and 

RTAs. Further, the information 

collection continues to reflect 

requirements for SSOAs and RTAs to 

respond to FTA directives and 

advisories, and SSOAs participation in 

monthly teleconference calls with FTA. 

Finally, the information collection 

request includes RTA event 

notifications to FTA. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 96 respondents. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses: 1,454. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 16,366 hours. 

Frequency: Annually.

process. Since February 2000, use of the

unblocking of funds has been 

mandatory pursuant to a revision in
