Title: 49 U.S.C. Part 611—49 CFR 

Major Capital Investment Projects. 

OMB Number: 2132–0561. 

Background: On August 10, 2005, the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) was enacted. 

Sections 3011(d)(5) and 3011(e)(6) of 

SAFETEA–LU require FTA to issue 

regulations on the manner in which 

candidate projects for major capital 

investment grants for new fixed 

guideway systems, extensions to 

existing fixed guideway systems, or 

significant corridor based bus 

investments (‘‘New Starts’’ and ‘‘Small 

Starts’’) will be evaluated and rated for 

purposes of the FTA Capital Investment 

Grant program under 49 U.S.C. Section 

5309. An Advanced Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPRM) for this 

regulation was issued on January 30, 

2006, (71 FR 22841). A Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was 

issued on August 3, 2007, (72 FR 

43328). The NPRM was withdrawn on 

February 17, 2009, due to an intervening 

statutory change resulting from the 

passage of the SAFETEA–LU Technical 

Corrections Act in June 2008. Another 

ANPRM for the regulation was issued 

on June 2, 2010 (75 FR 31383). FTA is 

reviewing the comments received on the 

ANPRM, and at this time a date for 

publication of the NPRM is not known. 

FTA has a longstanding requirement 

to evaluate proposed projects against a 

prescribed set of statutory criteria at 

specific points during the projects’ 

development including when they seek 

to enter preliminary engineering, final 

design, and a Full Funding Grant 

Agreement. In addition, FTA must 

report on its evaluations and ratings 

annually to Congress. The Surface 

Transportation and Uniform Relocation 

Assistance Act of 1987 (STURAA) 

established in law a set of criteria that 

proposed projects had to meet in order 

to be eligible for federal funding. The 

requirement for summary project ratings 

has been in place since 1998. Thus, the 

requirements for project evaluation and 

data collection for New Starts projects 

are not new. One addition included in 

SAFETEA–LU is the Small Starts 

program. The Small Starts program 

enables smaller cost projects with a 

smaller requested share of Section 5309 

major capital investment funds to 

progress through a simplified and 

streamlined project evaluation and data 

collection process. In general, the 

information used by FTA for New and 

Small Starts project evaluation and
