    Title: National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.
    OMB Number: 2132-0579.
    Background: Transit Asset Management (TAM) is a business model that 
prioritizes funding based on the condition of transit assets to achieve 
and maintain a state of good repair for the nation's public 
transportation assets. The TAM program enables transit agencies to 
implement strategic approaches to monitoring, maintaining, and 
replacing transit assets. Federal requirements for transit asset 
management applies to all recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 
funds that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital 
assets. It is a framework for transit agencies to monitor and manage 
public transportation assets, improve safety, increase reliability and 
performance, and establish performance measures in order to help 
agencies keep their systems operating smoothly and efficiently. FTA's 
TAM rule requires transit agencies to develop a compliant TAM plan, set 
performance targets for capital assets, create data and narrative 
reports on performance measures, and coordinate with their planning 
partners. Transit agencies are required to submit their performance 
measures and targets to the National Transit Database.
    Respondents: All recipients and sub-recipients of Chapter 53 funds 
that own, operate, or manage public transportation capital assets.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,915.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 932.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 378,004.
    Frequency: Annual.
