        Title: National Transit Asset Management (TAM) System.
        OMB Number: 2132-0579.
        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. 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.
        Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 932 responses.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden: 378,004 hours.
        Frequency: Annually.

    Director, Office of Management Planning.
