This information collection (IC)
request is for a three-year extension without change of a currently
approved collection under OMB control number 2132-0577 “49 U.S.C.
State of Good Repair.” The response to the collection is required
to obtain or retain a benefit, as the information is submitted to
FTA to provide capital assistance for the maintenance, replacement,
and rehabilitation projects of high-intensity fixed guideway and
bus systems to help transit agencies maintain assets in a state of
good repair. Eligible recipients are state and local government
authorities in Urbanized Areas (UZAs) with fixed guideway and high
intensity motorbus systems in revenue service for at least seven
years. The recipients must apply to receive federal funds and then
provide various reports (milestone and financial reports) as
necessary to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of federal
funds within the scope of the approved project. This information is
collected on yearly basis. That information is submitted to FTA's
regional and headquarters staff via FTA’s electronic Transit Award
Management System. This request includes an increase in
respondents’ due to new applications received and an increase in
burden hours proportionally.

This is a request for an
extension of a currently approved information collection. The only
change in this collection is an increase of annual responses from
720 in the previously approved collection in 2016 to 1044 in this
current information collection request. This is a result of an
increase in transit agencies eligible to apply for funding under
the State of Good Repair program. The burden hours increased
proportionally due to new applications and ongoing reporting from
grantees who received funding in previous years.
