What changed
The FAA is requesting renewal of OMB Control Number 2120-0817 under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for the FAST Grant Program information collection. The collection applies to FAST grant recipients who must submit quarterly performance reporting deliverables including quarterly and publicly releasable annual reports and semi-annual review presentations. The estimated annual burden is 1,876 hours across all respondents. This is a routine administrative renewal of an existing approved information collection — it does not impose new reporting obligations, change existing requirements, or affect entities outside the FAST grant program. Grant recipients and entities considering applying for FAST grants should be aware of the existing reporting cadence and the renewal of OMB approval through August 2029 under the new collection.
