        Title: National Transit Database (NTD).
        OMB Number: 2132-0008.
        Background: 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. 49 U.S.C. 5335 requires the
    Secretary of Transportation to maintain a reporting system, using a
    uniform system of accounts, to collect financial, operating, geographic
    service area coverage, and asset condition 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 and FTA established the NTD to meet
    these requirements. FTA continues to seek ways to reduce the burden of
    NTD reporting. The existing information collection request (ICR) is set
    to expire on August 31, 2026, this ICR covers the information
    collection activities associated with proposed changes finalized in
    July 2025, to include the consolidation of station and facility
    reporting, security reporting clarification, trip planning and
    geospatial data, and ensuring a state of good repair. There is no added
    burden from these changes.
        Respondents: State or local governmental entities that operate a
    public transportation service.
        Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2,914 respondents.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden: 456,179 hours.
        Frequency: Annual.

    Director, Office of Management Planning.
