SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: U.S.C. Clean Fuels Grant Program 

(OMB Number: 2132–0573) 

The Section 5308 Clean Fuels Grant 

Program was originally initiated as a 

formula program under the 

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 

Century (TEA–21) in June 1998. The 

program was reauthorized in August 

2005 under the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

as a discretionary grant program. 

However, the Clean Fuels Grant 

Program was repealed under MAP–21, 

and funds were no longer appropriated 

for the program. The program supported 

the development and deployment of 

clean fuel and advanced propulsion 

technologies for transit buses by 

providing funds for clean fuel vehicles 

and facilities. To meet program 

oversight responsibilities, FTA must 

continue to collect information until the 

period of availability expires, the funds 

are fully expended, the funds are 

rescinded by Congress, or the funds are 

otherwise reallocated. 

Respondents: State and local 

government and public transportation 

authorities located in areas designated 

as non-attainment or maintenance for 

ozone or carbon monoxide. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 4 hours for each 

respondent. 

Estimated Total Burden: 153 hours. 

Frequency: Semi-Annual.

Administration.
