SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Ferry Study. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

OMB Control Number: New. 

Affected Public: Ferry operators 

nationwide. 

Number of Respondents: 300. 

Number of Responses: 300. 

Total Annual Burden: 100 hours 

(Average estimate of 20 minutes to 

complete the survey for each of 300 

resulting in a total of 6000 minutes or 

100 hours). 

Abstract: The Transportation Equity 

Act for the 21st Century (TEA—21) 

(Pub. L. 105–178), section 1207(c), 

directed the Secretary of Transportation 

to conduct a study of ferry 

transportation in the United States and 

its possessions. In 2000, the Federal 

Highway Administration (FHWA) Office 

of Intermodal and Statewide Planning 

conducted a survey of approximately 

250 known ferry operators. The Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy 

for Users (SAFETEA–LU; H.R. 3, 

Section 1801(e)) requires that the 

Secretary, acting through the BTS, shall 

establish and maintain a national ferry 

database containing information on 

routes, vessels, passengers and vehicles 

carried, funding sources and such other 

information as the Secretary considers 

useful. Data collection will rely on a 

written survey. An electronic version of 

the questionnaire will also be available 

to respondents on request. Data will be 

collected from the entire population of 

ferry operators (estimate 300 or less). 

The survey will ask respondents to 

provide information on: (1) Points 

served; (2) amount and source of 

Federal, State, and/or local funds used 

in the past 24 months; (3) type of 

ownership; (4) number of passengers 

and vehicles carried in the past 12 

months; (5) any new routes expected to 

be added within the next five years; and 

(6) highways that are connected by the 

ferries. It is estimated that the survey 

will take, on average, 20 minutes to 

complete for a total burden of 100 hours 

(300 respondents*20 minutes/60 = 100 

hours). 

The National Ferry Database may 

collect business sensitive information. 

The confidentiality of these data will be 

protected under 49 CFR 7.17. In 

accordance with this regulation, only 

statistical and non-sensitive business 

information will be made available 

through publications and public use 

data files. The statistical public use data 

are intended to provide an aggregated 

source of information on ferry boat 

operations nationwide.

ADDRESSES: The agency seeks public 

comments on its proposed information 

collection. Comments should address 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’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.

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 725–

under the agreement, UP may provide 

service to RPP or use WTA as its agent
