two notices seeking public comment on
information collection activities before
OMB may approve paperwork packages.
44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On March 1, 2022
FTA published a 60-day notice (87 FR
11508) in the Federal Register soliciting
comments on the ICR that the agency
was seeking OMB approval. FTA
received no comments after issuing this
60-day notice. Accordingly, DOT
announces that these information
collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c).
Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is
published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR
1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995.
The summaries below describe the
nature of the information collection
requirements (ICRs) and the expected
burden. The requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
Title: Fixed Guideway Capital
Investment Grants (CIG) Program
Section 5309.
OMB Control Number: 2132–0561.
Background: The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) administers the
discretionary Capital Investment Grants
(CIG) grant program under 49 U.S.C.
Section 5309 that provides funding for
major transit capital investments
including rapid rail, light rail,
commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and
ferries. Three types of eligible projects
are outlined in law: smaller scaled
corridor-based transit capital projects
known as ‘‘Small Starts’’; new fixed
guideway transit systems and
extensions to existing fixed guideway
systems known as ‘‘New Starts’’; and
projects to improve capacity in existing
fixed guideway corridors, known as
‘‘Core Capacity’’. The CIG program has
a longstanding requirement that FTA
evaluate proposed projects against a

prescribed set of statutory criteria at
specific points during the projects’
development including when they seek
to enter a subsequent phase of the
process or a construction grant
agreement. In addition, FTA must report
on its evaluations and ratings annually
to Congress.
The current Federal Public
Transportation Law, 49 U.S.C. 5309, has
not changed the statutorily defined
project justification and local financial
commitment criteria that are the subject
of this information collection. In
addition, the statutorily required
approval steps for projects seeking CIG
funds have not changed. The current
request for renewal of this information
collection does not reflect any changes
as a result of the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL). FTA will seek
comment from stakeholders through the
publication of a separate Federal
Register Notice outside of the PRA
process. In general, the information
used by FTA for CIG project evaluation
and rating should arise as a part of the
normal project planning process.
Respondents: State and local
government agencies, including transit
agencies.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 155 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
68,840 hours.
Frequency: Annually.

Administration.
