FTA Information Collection Extension: Transit Capital Assistance for Elderly & Disabled Persons (Section 5310) and Rural Area Transit Formula Program (Section 5311)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has published a notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 announcing its intent to seek Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to extend — without any changes — an existing information collection associated with two transit assistance programs. The first program, 49 U.S.C. Section 5310, provides capital assistance grants to support transportation services for elderly persons and persons with disabilities. The second, Section 5311, funds transit services in nonurbanized (rural) areas through a formula-based distribution mechanism. This is a routine administrative action to maintain the existing OMB-approved data collection authority. No new requirements, funding changes, or programmatic modifications are being proposed. Grantees and subrecipients under these programs will continue to submit the same reporting and application information as currently required. The public may submit comments on this information collection request during the OMB review period. This notice reflects standard federal practice for renewing Paperwork Reduction Act clearances before they expire.
