services. The Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act-A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

Public Law 109–59, Section 1801(e)) 

required that the Secretary, acting 

through the BTS, shall establish and 

maintain a national ferry database 

containing current information 

regarding routes, vessels, passengers 

and vehicles carried, funding sources 

and such other information as the 

Secretary considers useful. MAP–21 

legislation [Moving Ahead for Progress 

in the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 112– 

141)], continued the BTS mandate to 

conduct the NCFO and also required 

that the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) use the NCFO 

data to set the specific formula for 

allocating federal ferry funds. The 

funding allocations were based on a 

percentage of the number of passenger 

boardings, vehicle boardings, and route 

miles served. 

BTS conducted the first Census of 

Ferry Operators in 2006. The Census 

was conducted again in 2008, 2010, 

2014, and will be again in spring 2016. 

These information collections were 

originally approved by OMB under 

Control Number 2139–0009. The 

recently enacted FAST Act legislation 

[Fixing America’s Surface 

Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114–94, sec. 

1112)] continues the BTS mandate to 

conduct the NCFO on a biennial basis, 

and extended the requirement that the 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) use the NCFO data to set the 

specific formula for allocating federal 

ferry funds based on a percentage of the 

number of passenger boardings, vehicle 

boardings, and route miles served. The 

overall length of the revised 

questionnaire for the 2018 NCFO will 

remain consistent with that of previous 

years. The survey will be administered 

to the entire population of ferry 

operators (estimate 260 or less). The 

survey will request the respondents to 

provide information such as: the points 

served; the type of ownership; the 

number of passengers and vehicles 

carried in the past 12 months; vessel 

descriptions (including type of fuel), 

federal, state and local funding sources, 

and intermodal connectivity. All data 

collected in 2018 will be added to the 

existing NCFO database. 

Respondents: The target population 

for the survey will be all of the 

approximately 260 operators of existing 

ferry services in the United States. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The burden per respondent is 

estimated to be an average of 30 

minutes. This average is based on an 

estimate of 20 minutes to answer new 

questions and an additional 10 minutes 

to review. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

total annual burden (in the year that the 

survey is conducted) is estimated to be 

just under 130 hours (that is 30 minutes 

per respondent for 260 respondents 

equals 7,800 minutes). 

Frequency: This survey will be 

updated every other year. 

Public Comments Invited: Interested 

parties are invited to send comments 

regarding any aspect of this information 

collection, including, but not limited to: 

(1) The necessity and utility of the 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, clarity and content of the 

collected information; and (4) ways to 

minimize the collection burden without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB’s clearance of this 

information collection.
