This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13, Section 2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public comment on ( printed page 31522) 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 26, 2026 FTA published a 60-day notice (91 FR 14751) 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 re-evaluated 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 also60 FR 44978, 44983. 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. 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 also60 FR 44983.
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: National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.
OMB Control Number: 2132-0579.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 3-year approval of an extension without change for a currently approved collection. The National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System establishes a uniform framework for transit agencies to monitor and manage their capital assets including vehicles, facilities, equipment, and infrastructure to maintain a State of Good Repair (SGR). Under these requirements, all recipients and subrecipients of Federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 that own, operate, or manage capital assets used for providing public transportation must develop a TAM Plan, conduct regular condition assessments of their assets, set annual performance targets, and prioritize investment decisions based on asset condition and service needs. This information collection supports FTA's oversight of the National TAM System by gathering asset inventory data, condition ratings, performance targets, and investment priorities from grantees. The collected data is used to evaluate compliance with TAM regulations, inform federal funding decisions, and provide Congress and the public with transparency regarding the condition and investment needs of the nation's transit assets. The TAM System promotes efficient use of resources, consistent performance measurement nationwide, and improved safety and reliability of public transportation services.
Respondents: All recipients and subrecipients of Federal financial assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 that own, operate, or manage capital assets used for providing public transportation must be covered by a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan. Tier I agencies are those operating more than 100 vehicles in revenue service, or any rail mode must develop individual plans, while Tier II agencies are those operating 100 or fewer vehicles and no rail may prepare their own plan or participate in a Group TAM Plan sponsored by a State DOT or other eligible recipient. The burden estimates in this 30-day notice differ from those published in the 60-day Federal Register notice due to updated reporting data from the National Transit Database (NTD). Specifically, there has been an increase in the number of Tier II providers submitting individual Transit Asset Management (TAM) plans, reflecting a shift in reporting patterns that may indicate the presence of new reporters or former participants in Group TAM Plans that are now reporting individually. The revised burden estimates for this renewal are based on the most recent data available in the NTD.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 1,005 responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 412,319 hours.
Frequency: Annually.
