Agency Information Collection Activities: Bus Testing Program

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has published a notice in the Federal Register announcing its intent to request an extension of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the Bus Testing Program information collection. This action is part of the agency's standard process for reviewing and re-approving existing information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The notice seeks public comment on the necessity of the program, the accuracy of the burden estimates, and potential ways to improve the program's efficiency.

Regulated entities, primarily those involved in bus manufacturing and transit operations, should review the notice and consider submitting comments if they have feedback on the Bus Testing Program. While this is a routine administrative process, public input can influence the program's future design and requirements. The comment period is open for 60 days from the date of publication, and specific instructions for submission are provided in the Federal Register notice.
