(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. Kusum Dhyani, Director, Office of Management Planning. [FR Doc. 2026-05922 Filed 3-25-26; 8:45 am]
