SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Transportation for Individuals With Disabilities--

Accessibility of Over-the-Road Buses (OTRBs).

    OMB Control No.: 2100-0019.

    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Abstract: The Department of Transportation (DOT), in conjunction

with the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance

Board, issued final access regulations for privately operated over-the-

road buses (OTRBs) as required by the Americans with Disability Act

(ADA) of 1990. The Final Rule on Accessibility of Over-the-Road Buses

has the following recordkeeping/reporting requirements: The first has

to do with 48 hour advance notice and compensation. The second has to

do with equivalent service and compensation. The third has to do with

reporting information on ridership on accessible fixed route buses. The

fourth has to do with recordkeeping for 5 years. The fifth has to do

with report submission to DOT annually. The sixth has to do with

reporting information on the purchase and lease of accessible and

inaccessible new and used buses. When initiating the information

collection as part of the rulemaking that established the requirements

in question, the Department provided the estimate of burdens set forth

below. We have no reason to believe that the time necessary to comply

with the information collection requirements has changed in the

meantime. We would note that this estimate assumes compliance by bus

operators with the information collection requirements. Reporting

rates, however, have been low. The purpose of the information

collection requirements is to provide data that the Department can use

in reviewing the provisions of its rule and to assist the Department in

its oversight of compliance by bus companies. In particular, the data

will be used to assist the Department in conducting the reevaluation of

the requirements of the over-the-road bus rule mentioned in the

regulation itself.

    Respondents: Charter/tour service operators, fixed route companies,

small mixed service operators.

    Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,448.

    Average Annual Burden per Respondent: Variable.

    Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 316,226 hours.

    Burden Statement: The amount of data sought is held to the minimum

amount necessary to ensure compliance with the regulation. As suggested

in comments from both the bus industry and disability community

commenters during the rulemaking leading to this rule, recordkeeping

and reporting of this kind would be useful for the purpose of ensuring

compliance. The cumulative total burden for the information collection

is between 167,889 hours (low estimate) to 182,873 hours (high

estimate).

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 19, 2008.

Acting Assistant General Counsel for Regulation and Enforcement.
