Title: 49 U.S.C. 5320 Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks
Program.
OMB Control No.: 2132-0574.
Background: Section 3021 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU),
as amended, established the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program
(Transit in Parks Program--49 U.S.C. 5320). The program is administered
by FTA in partnership with the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The program provides
grants to Federal land management agencies that manage an eligible
area, including but not limited to the National Park Service, the Fish
and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest
Service, the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, tribal and local
governments with jurisdiction over land in the vicinity of an eligible
area, acting with the consent of a Federal land management agency,
alone or in partnership with a Federal land management agency or other
governmental or non-governmental participant. The purpose of the
program is to provide for the planning and capital costs of alternative
transportation systems that will enhance the protection of national
parks and Federal lands; increase the enjoyment of visitors' experience
by conserving natural, historical, and cultural resources; reduce
congestion and pollution; improve visitor mobility and accessibility;
enhance visitor experience; and ensure access to all, including persons
with disabilities. The Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks program
was repealed under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP-21). However, funds previously authorized for programs
repealed by MAP-21 remain available for their originally authorized
purposes until the period of availability expires, the funds are fully
expended, the funds are rescinded by Congress, or the funds are
otherwise reallocated.
Respondents: Federal land management agencies that manage an
eligible area, including but not limited to the National Park Service,
the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the
Forest Service, the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, tribal and local
governments.
Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: Approximately 4 hours for
each of the 5 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 20 hours.
Frequency: Quarterly.

Associate Administrator for Administration.
