A Federal register notice announces the availability of the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Transit Database (NTD) Rural Reporting Manual (Rural Manual). Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5335, FTA requires recipients of grants under 49 U.S.C. 5311 (Other Than Urbanized Area Formula Grants) to provide an annual report to the Secretary of Transportation via the NTD reporting system and according to a uniform system of accounts (USOA). 49 U.S.C. 5311(4) provides additional specifications for annual reporting from recipients of Section 5311 grants. The Rural Manual provides complete details as to FTA’s implementation of these annual requirements through reporting to the Rural NTD Module. On September 5, 2007, FTA published a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 17564) inviting comments on the proposed Rural Manual. This notice provides responses to those comments and announces the availability of the final 2007 Rural Manual, effective December 6, 2007.
The complete notice of the Rural Reporting Manual is located at: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/pdf/E7-23632.pdf.
