This information collection (IC) request is for an extension without change of a currently approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0500 â49 USC Section 5310-Capital Assistance Program for Elderly Persons and Persons w/Disabilities & Section 5311-Nonurbanized Area Formula Program.â There are no programmatic changes to this information collection from the 2023 renewal. The only major change in cost of this IC is related to the updated labor rates for both respondents and federal employees and contractors.
The response to the collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is required to obtain to federal assistance to states, local governments, private nonprofit agencies, and public bodies through the Section 5310 and 5311 programs. The 5310 program provides private nonprofit groups funding to meet transportation needs of older adults and people with disabilities when the transportation service provided is unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate in rural and small urban areas. The 5311 program provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states to support public transportation in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000, where many residents often rely on public transit to reach their destinations. Eligible recipients include states and federally recognized Indian Tribes. Sub-recipients may include state or local government authorities, nonprofit organizations, and operators of public transportation or intercity bus service. Since States administer many of these programs they submit consolidated annual applications and milestone/financial reports to FTA on behalf of the sub recipients. The information reported includes project budget, description of the project, implementation plans, management plans, financial reports and progress reports. Sub-recipients typically do not report any information directly to FTA but are required by the State or designated recipient to provide sufficient information for reporting purposes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
