78138 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 248 / Monday, December 29, 2014 / Notices 

required of the rural sub-recipients. 

Additionally, they also report contact 

information, funding allocation 

information, a revenue vehicle 

inventory, the number of stations and 

maintenance facilities, and total 

injuries, fatalities, and safety incidents. 

The reports are also required to be 

reviewed by an auditor and certified by 

the CEO. Systems with this waiver are 

also exempt from the Monthly and 

Safety & Security Modules. FTA 

estimates that completing a report for a 

Small Systems Waiver requires 

approximately 27 hours, including time 

to assemble the information and 

respond to validation questions from 

FTA about the report. 

Estimated Total Annual Urban 

Burden: 11,400 hours. 

Frequency: Annually. 

NTD Annual Module—Full Reports: 

FTA expects about 550 transit systems 

to file complete reports. 

Estimated Annual Burden: The Full 

Report to the Annual Module is 

comprehensive. Basic contact 

information, as well as information on 

sub-recipients and purchased 

transportation contracts must be 

provided. Sources of funds for operating 

expenses and capital expenses must be 

provided, as well as detailed operating 

and capital expenses for each mode by 

function and object class. Key service 

data collected includes vehicle revenue 

miles, vehicle revenue hours, unlinked 

passenger trips, and passenger miles 

traveled; these must be provided by 

average, weekday, average Saturday, 

average Sunday, and as an annual total. 

Most systems that do not inherently 

collect passenger mile information (such 

as a ferryboat or commuter rail) must 

conduct random sampling for passenger 

mile information. Large systems with 

more than 100 vehicles are required to 

sample for passenger miles every year, 

whereas smaller systems are only 

required to sample every third year. A 

comprehensive revenue vehicle 

inventory is collected, as well as 

information on fixed guide-way mileage, 

passenger stations, maintenance 

facilities, fuel consumption, employee 

hours, and maintenance breakdowns. 

Reports are also required to be reviewed 

by an auditor and certified by the 

system CEO. 

Approximately 100 large systems are 

required to sample for passenger miles 

each year and approximately 450 midsize systems sample every three years. 

FTA estimates that it takes 

approximately 340 hours per year to 

sample for passenger miles, which is 

amortized over three years for mid-sized 

systems. FTA estimates that completing 

the remaining financial, operating, 

resource, and capital asset information 

requires approximately 250 hours per 

year per transit system, including 

gathering the information, completing 

the forms, and responding to validation 

questions. 

Estimated Total Burden: 222,500 

hours. 

Frequency: Annually. 

NTD Monthly Module: FTA expects 

about 550 transit systems to report to 

the Monthly Module. 

Estimated Annual Burden: Each 

month, vehicle revenue miles, vehicle 

revenue hours, unlinked passenger 

trips, and vehicles operated in 

maximum service are submitted to the 

Monthly Module. FTA estimates that it 

takes approximately 4 hours each month 

for each system to report the data, 

including collecting and assembling the 

data for each mode, filling out the form, 

and responding to any validation 

questions in regards to the data. 

Estimated Total Annual Urban 

Burden: 26,400 hours. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

NTD Safety Event Reporting Module: 

FTA expects about 550 transit systems 

to report to the Safety & Security 

Module. 

Estimated Annual Burden: Each 

system provides an annual report on the 

total number of system security 

personnel, and an annual CEO 

certification of the safety data. Each 

month, systems provide a summary 

report of all minor fires and all 

incidents resulting in single-person 

injuries due to slips, falls, or electrical 

shocks. Additionally, systems must 

provide a detailed report within 30 days 

of any incident involving one or more 

fatalities, one or more injuries, or total 

property damage in excess of $25,000. 

FTA currently receives about 6,000 

major incident reports per year, and 

estimates that it takes on average about 

2 hours to collect data for each incident, 

enter it into the NTD, and respond to 

any validation question. Additionally, 

FTA estimates that each of the 550 full 

reporters spend on average one hour 

each month completing the minor 

incident summary reports. 

Estimated Total Annual Urban 

Burden: 18,600 hours. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Total Annual NTD Burden: 304,900 

hours.

Title: 49 U.S.C. 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes 

Transit in the Parks Program. 

OMB Control No.: 2132–0574. 

Background: Section 3021 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy 

for Users (SAFETEA–LU), as amended, 

established the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit 

in Parks Program (Transit in Parks 

Program—49 U.S.C. 5320). The program 

is administered by FTA in partnership 

with the Department of the Interior 

(DOI) and the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture’s Forest Service. The 

program provides grants to Federal land 

management agencies that manage an 

eligible area, including but not limited 

to the National Park Service, the Fish 

and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of 

Land Management, the Forest Service, 

the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, 

tribal and local governments with 

jurisdiction over land in the vicinity of 

an eligible area, acting with the consent 

of a Federal land management agency, 

alone or in partnership with a Federal 

land management agency or other 

governmental or non-governmental 

participant. The purpose of the program 

is to provide for the planning and 

capital costs of alternative 

transportation systems that will enhance 

the protection of national parks and 

Federal lands; increase the enjoyment of 

visitors’ experience by conserving 

natural, historical, and cultural 

resources; reduce congestion and 

pollution; improve visitor mobility and 

accessibility; enhance visitor 

experience; and ensure access to all, 

including persons with disabilities. The 

Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks 

program was repealed under the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21). However, funds 

previously authorized for programs 

repealed by MAP–21 remain available 

for their originally authorized purposes 

until the period of availability expires, 

the funds are fully expended, the funds 

are rescinded by Congress, or the funds 

are otherwise reallocated. 

Respondents: Federal land 

management agencies that manage an 

eligible area, including but not limited 

to the National Park Service, the Fish 

and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of 

Land Management, the Forest Service, 

the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, 

tribal and local governments. 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: Approximately 4 hours for 

each of the 5 respondents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 20 

hours. 

Frequency: Quarterly.

Title: Applications—Volatile FruitFlavor Concentrate Plants, TTB REC 

5520/2. 

Form: TTB F 5520.3. 

Abstract: Persons who wish to 

establish premises to manufacture 

volatile fruit-flavor concentrates are 

required to file an application and keep 

records to support the manufacture of 

these concentrates. TTB uses the 

application information to identify 

persons responsible for such 

manufacture, since these products 

contain ethyl alcohol and have potential 

for use as alcoholic beverages with 

consequent loss of revenue. The 

application constitutes registry of a still, 

a statutory requirement. TTB uses the 

records to ensure that the concentrates 

are manufactured properly. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: 

Businesses or other for-profits. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 160. 

OMB Number: 1513–0022. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Annual Report of Concentrate 

Manufacturers and Usual and 

Customary Business Records-Volatile 

Fruit-Flavor Concentrate, TTB REC 

5520/1. 

Form: TTB F 5520.2. 

Abstract: As authorized by 26 U.S.C. 

5511, manufacturers of volatile fruitflavor concentrate must provide reports 

as necessary to ensure the protection of 

the revenue. The report, TTB F 5520.2, 

accounts for all concentrates 

manufactured, removed, or treated so as 

to be unfit for beverage use. TTB 

requires this information to verify that 

alcohol is not being diverted, thereby 

jeopardizing tax revenues. The records 

used to compile this report are usual 

and customary business records that the 

manufacturer would maintain in the 

course of doing business. These reports 

and records must be retained for 3 years 

from the date prepared or 3 years from 

the date of the last entry, whichever is 

later. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: 

Businesses or other for-profits.
