    Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5308--Clean Fuels Grant Program (OMB 
Number: 2132-NEW).
    Abstract: The Section 5308 Clean Fuels Grant Program was initiated 
as a formula program under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 
Century (TEA-21) in June 1998. The program was reauthorized in August 
2005 under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 
Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) as a grant program. The 
program supports the development and deployment of clean fuel and 
advanced propulsion technologies for transit buses by providing funds 
for clean fuel vehicles and facilities. To meet program oversight 
responsibilities, FTA needs information on the operations and 
performance of clean fuel technology buses to help assess the 
reliability, benefits and costs of these technologies compared to 
conventional vehicle technologies.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,644 hours.
    ADDRESSES: All written comments must refer to the docket number 
that appears at the top of this document and be submitted to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
725--17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FTA Desk 
Officer.
    Comments are Invited On: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
