FTA State of Good Repair Program: OMB Information Collection Extension Request
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has announced its intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve an extension — without any changes — of an existing information collection associated with the State of Good Repair (SGR) Program. This action is taken in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which requires federal agencies to obtain OMB approval before collecting information from the public. The State of Good Repair Program is a federal grant program administered by the FTA that provides funding to transit agencies to rehabilitate and replace aging transit infrastructure and equipment. Recipients of SGR grants are required to submit performance data and asset condition reports to demonstrate compliance and justify continued federal investment. This notice signals a routine administrative renewal of the data reporting requirements tied to the SGR Program, with no substantive changes to what information is collected, how it is collected, or who must submit it. Transit agencies and other recipients of SGR funding should not expect any new reporting burdens as a result of this action. Stakeholders had the opportunity to comment on this information collection request during a prior public comment period. The FTA is now proceeding with formal submission to OMB to renew the collection authority for another standard cycle, typically three years.
