DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility 

Program Announcement of Project 

Selections 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of award. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

selection of projects to be funded under 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and 2010 

appropriations for the Over-the-Road 

Bus (OTRB) Accessibility Program, 

authorized by Section 3038 of the 

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 

Century (TEA–21). The OTRB 

Accessibility Program makes funds 

available to private operators of overthe-road buses to help finance the 

incremental capital and training costs of 

complying with DOT’s over-the-road 

bus accessibility rule, published in the 

Federal Register on September 24, 1998. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

appropriate FTA Regional Office for 

grant-specific issues; or Blenda 

Younger, Office of Program 

Management, 202–366–2053, for general 

information about the OTRB Program. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of 

$20 million was made available for the 

program in FY 2009 and FY 2010: $15 

million for intercity fixed-route 

providers and $5 million for all other 

providers, such as commuter, charter, 

and tour operators. A total of 165 

applicants requested $49.7 million: 

$27.5 million was requested by intercity 

fixed-route providers, and $22.2 million 

was requested by all other providers. 

Project selections were made on a 

discretionary basis, based on each 

applicant’s responsiveness to statutory 

project selection criteria, percent of fleet 

accessible, and level of funding received 

in previous years. Because of the high 

demand for the funds available, most 

successful applicants received less 

funding than they requested. 

The selected projects will provide 

funding for the incremental cost of 

adding lifts to 376 new vehicles, 

retrofitting 142 vehicles, and $102,759 

for training (See Tables I and II). Each 

of the awardees, as well as applicants 

who were not selected for funding, will 

receive a letter explaining how funding 

decisions were made. Eligible project 

costs may be incurred by awardees prior 

to final grant approval. The incremental 

capital cost for adding wheelchair lift 

equipment to any new vehicles 

delivered on or after June 9, 1998, the 

effective date of TEA–21, is eligible for 

funding under the OTRB Accessibility 

Program. Awards are processed through 

FTA’s Transportation Electronic Awards 

Management System (TEAM), and the 

project ID’s listed in Table I and Table 

II must be used in the grant application 

for tracking the obligation of funds. The 

grant applications will be sent to the 

U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) for 

certification under labor protection 

requirements pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

5333(b). After referring applications to 

affected employees represented by a 

labor organization, DOL will issue a 

certification to FTA. Terms and 

conditions of the certification will be 

incorporated in the FTA grant 

agreement under the new guidelines 

replacing those in 29 CFR part 215. 

Please see the Special Warranty 

Provisions of the Department of Labor 

Guidelines ‘‘Section 5553(b) Federal 

Transit Law’’ at 29 CFR 215.7. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of 

March, 2011. 

Peter Rogoff, 

Administrator.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(iii) how to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(iv) how to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those
