    Title: National Transit Database (OMB Number: 2132-0008).
    Background: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b) requires the Secretary of 
Transportation to maintain a reporting system, using a uniform system 
of accounts, to collect financial and operating information from the 
nation's public transportation systems. Congress created the NTD to be 
the repository of transit data for the nation to support public 
transportation service planning. FTA has established the NTD to meet 
these requirements, and has collected data for over 35 years. The NTD 
is comprised of four modules, Rural, Urban Annual, Monthly, and Safety 
Event Reporting. FTA continues to seek ways to reduce the burden of NTD 
reporting. FTA has added upload/download capabilities to the reporting 
system and greatly reduced the sampling required to certify Automatic 
Passenger Counters for use in reporting data to the NTD.
    Respondents: State or local governmental entities that operates a 
public transportation service.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,334 respondents.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 17,766.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 327,524 hours.
    Frequency: Annual.
