Title: Reporting of Technical

(OMB Number: 2132–0549). 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 5305 

authorizes the use of federal funds to 

assist metropolitan planning 

organizations (MPOs), states, and local 

public bodies in developing 

transportation plans and programs to 

serve future transportation needs of 

urbanized areas and nonurbanized areas 

throughout the nation. As part of this 

effort, MPOs and states are required to 

consider a wide range of goals and 

objectives and to analyze alternative 

transportation system management and 

investment strategies. These objectives 

are measured by definable activities 

such as planning certification reviews 

and other related activities. 

The information collected is used to 

report annually to Congress, the 

Secretary, and to the Federal Transit 

Administrator on how grantees are 

responding to national emphasis areas 

and congressional direction, and allows 

FTA to track grantees’ use of federal 

planning funds. 

Respondents: FTA grant recipients. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3 hours for each of the 52 

respondents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 156 

hours. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Issued: January 29, 2008. 

Ann M. Linnertz, 

Associate Administrator for Administration.
