Title: 49 U.S.C. 5317 New Freedom Program.
(OMB Number: 2132-0565).
Background: The purpose of the New Freedom program was to make
grants available to assist states and designated recipients to reduce
barriers to transportation services and expand the transportation
mobility options available to people with disabilities beyond the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The
New Freedom program was repealed in 2012 with the enactment of the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funds previously authorized for programs repealed by MAP-21 remain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rescinded by Congress, or the funds are otherwise reallocated. To meet
program oversight responsibilities, FTA must continue to collect
information until the period of availability expires, the funds are
fully expended, the funds are rescinded by Congress, or the funds are
otherwise reallocated. Grant recipients are required to make
information available to the public and to publish a program of
projects which identifies the sub-recipients and projects for which the
State or designated recipient is applying for financial assistance. FTA
uses the information to monitor the grantees' progress in implementing
and completing project activities. FTA collects performance information
annually from designated recipients in rural areas, small urbanized
areas, other direct recipients for small urbanized areas, and
designated recipients in urbanized areas of 200,000 persons or greater.
Respondents: State and local government, private non-profit
organizations and public transportation authorities.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 106.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,240.
Frequency: Annually.

Director, Office of Management Planning.
