7 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 

8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the 

Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent 

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has satisfied the five-day prefiling requirement. 

9See supra note 3. 

10For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

material proliferation of additional 

series because it is restricted to a limited 

number of classes. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not significantly affect the 

protection of investors or the public 

interest, does not impose any significant 

burden on competition, and, by its 

terms, does not become operative for 30 

days from the date on which it was 

filed, or such shorter time as the 

Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.8

The Exchange has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay. The Commission believes that 

waiver of the operative delay is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest 

because the proposal is substantially 

similar to that of another exchange that 

has been approved by the Commission.9

Therefore, the Commission designates 

the proposal operative upon filing.10

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2011–0019] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Approval of a Revision in 

Information Collection(s); Comments 

Requested: National Infrastructure 

Investments Grant Program or ‘‘TIGER 

II Discretionary Grants’’ 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), 

DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation (DOT) invites public 

comments on a request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve the revision and amendment of 

a previously approved Information 

Collection Request (OMB Control # 

2105–0563) in accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 USC 3501 et seq.). 

The previous approval granted the 

Department of Transportation authority 

to collect information involving 

National Infrastructure Investments or 

‘‘TIGER II’’ Discretionary Grants 

pursuant to Title I of the Transportation, 

Housing and Urban Development, and 

Related Agencies Appropriations Act for 

2010 (the ‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act). 

The Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation (‘‘OST’’) is referring to 

these grants as ‘‘TIGER II Discretionary 

Grants.’’ The original collection of 

information was necessary in order to 

receive applications for grant funds 

pursuant to the Transportation, Housing 

and Urban Development, and Related 

Agencies Appropriations Act of 2010 

(‘‘FY 2010 Appropriations Act’’), Title 

I—Department of Transportation, Office 

of the Secretary, National Infrastructure 

Investments, Public Law 111–117, 123 

Stat. 3034. The purpose of the TIGER II 

Discretionary Grants program is to 

advance projects that will have a 

significant impact on the Nation, 

Metropolitan area or a region. 

This revision revises the original 

request to include an additional 

information collection. The additional

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2011 / Notices 23851 

information to be collected will be used 

to, and is necessary to, evaluate the 

effectiveness of projects that have been 

awarded grant funds and to monitor 

project financial conditions and project 

progress in support of the Supplemental 

Discretionary Grants for Capital 

Investments in Surface Transportation 

Infrastructure, referred to by the 

Department as ‘‘Grants for 

Transportation Investment Generating 

Economic Recovery’’, or ‘‘TIGER’’ 

Discretionary Grants program 

authorized and implemented pursuant 

to the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the 

‘‘Recovery Act’’) (OMB Control Number: 

2105–0560) and the grants for National 

Infrastructure Investments under the FY 

2010 Appropriations Act or TIGER II’’ 

Discretionary Grants. The purposes of 

the TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary 

Grant programs include promoting 

economic recovery and supporting 

projects that have a significant impact 

on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a 

region. 

A 60-day Federal Register notice was 

published on February 15, 2011 (76 FR 

8804). Since the publication of the 60- 

day Federal Register notice, no

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0563. 

Title: National Infrastructure 

Investments Grant Program or ‘‘TIGER II 

Discretionary Grants’’. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: On February 17, 2009, 

the President of the United States signed 

the Recovery Act to, among other 

purposes, (1) preserve and create jobs 

and promote economic recovery, (2) 

invest in transportation infrastructure 

that will provide long-term economic 

benefits, and (3) assist those most 

affected by the current economic 

downturn. The Recovery Act 

appropriated $1.5 billion of 

discretionary grant funds to be awarded 

by the Department of Transportation for 

capital investments in surface 

transportation infrastructure. The 

Department refers to these grants as 

‘‘Grants for Transportation Investment 

Generating Economic Recovery’’ or 

‘‘TIGER’’ Discretionary Grants. Funding 

for 51 projects totaling nearly $1.5 

billion under the TIGER program was 

announced on February 17, 2010. 

Projects were selected based on their 

alignment with the selection criteria 

specified in the Federal Register notice 

for the TIGER Discretionary Grant 

program. On December 16, 2009 the 

President signed the FY 2010 

Appropriations Act. The FY 2010 

Appropriations Act appropriated $600 

million for National Infrastructure 

Investments using language that is very 

similar, but not identical to the language 

in the Recovery Act authorizing the 

TIGER Discretionary Grants. The 

Department is referring to the grants for 

National Infrastructure Investments as 

TIGER II Discretionary Grants. Like the 

TIGER Discretionary Grants, TIGER II 

Discretionary Grants are for capital 

investments in surface transportation 

infrastructure and are to be awarded on 

a competitive basis for projects that will 

have a significant impact on the Nation, 

a metropolitan area, or a region. 

Funding for 75 projects totaling nearly 

$600 million under the TIGER II 

program was announced on October 20, 

2010. Projects were selected based on 

their alignment with the selection 

criteria specified in the Federal Register 

notice for the TIGER II Discretionary 

Grant program. As announced in the 

Federal Register notices for each of the 

TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary Grant 

programs, grantees are expected to 

provide information to the Government 

so that the Government may monitor the 

financial conditions and progress of 

projects, as well as the effectiveness of 

projects using performance 

measurement metrics negotiated 

between the grantees and the 

Government. This request revises the 

existing PRA clearance to cover 

additional information from grantees 

that is necessary to negotiate the grant 

agreements and to cover the reporting 

requirements agreed to by the grant 

recipients of the TIGER and TIGER II 

Discretionary Grant programs. 

The reporting requirements are as 

follows: 

Grantees will submit reports on the 

financial condition of the project and 

the project’s progress. Grantees will 

submit progress reports and the Federal 

Financial Report (SF–425) to the 

Government on a quarterly basis, 

beginning on the 20th of the first month 

of the calendar-year quarter following 

the execution of a grant agreement, and 

on the 20th of the first month of each 

calendar-year quarter thereafter until 

completion of the project. The initial 

quarterly report will include a detailed 

description, and, where appropriate, 

drawings, of the items funded. 

Grantees will also submit an Annual 

Budget Review and Program Plan to the 

Government, via e-mail, 60 days prior to 

the end of each Agreement year that 

they are receiving grant funds. The 

Annual Budget Review and Program 

Plan will provide a detailed schedule of 

activities, estimate of specific 

performance objectives, include 

forecasted expenditures, and a schedule 

of milestones for the upcoming year. If 

there is an actual or projected project 

cost increase, the Annual Budget 

Review and Program Plan will include 

a written plan for providing additional 

sources of funding to cover the project 

budget shortfall or supporting 

documentation of committed funds to 

cover the cost increase. 

This information will be used to 

monitor grantees’ use of Federal funds, 

ensuring accountability and financial 

transparency in the TIGER and TIGER II 

Discretionary Grant programs. 

Grantees will also submit reports on 

the performance (or projected 

performance) of the project using 

performance measures that the grantee 

and the Government selected through 

negotiations. The grantees will submit a 

Pre-project Report that will consist of 

current baseline data for each of the 

performance measures specified in the 

Performance Measurement Table in the 

grant agreement negotiated between the 

grantee and the Government. The Preproject Report will include a detailed 

description of data sources, 

assumptions, variability, and the 

estimated level of precision for each 

measure. The grantees will submit 

quarterly Project Performance 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
23852 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2011 / Notices 

Measurement Reports to the 

Government for each of the performance 

measures specified in the Performance 

Measurement Table in the grant 

agreement negotiated between the 

grantee and the Government. Grantees 

will submit reports at each of the 

intervals identified for the duration of 

the time period specified in the 

Performance Measurement Table in the 

grant agreement negotiated between the 

grantee and the Government. The 

grantees will submit a Project Outcomes 

Report after the project is completed 

that will consist of a narrative 

discussion detailing project successes 

and/or the influence of external factors 

on project expectations. 

Respondents will have the 

opportunity to submit the information 

either electronically or by using fillable 

PDF, word processing or spreadsheet 

files. This information will be used to 

evaluate and compare projects and to 

monitor results that grant funds achieve, 

ensuring that grant funds achieved the 

outcomes targeted by the TIGER and 

TIGER II Discretionary Grant programs. 

The Department’s estimated burden 

for the new information to be collected 

is as follows: 

Expected Number of Respondents: 

126. 

Frequency: Quarterly, and yearly. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 8 hours for each Quarterly 

Progress and Monitoring Report; 8 hours 

for each Annual Budget Review; 8 hours 

for each Quarterly Performance 

Measurement Report. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

9,072 hours. 

The following is detailed information 

and instructions regarding the specific 

reporting requirements for each report 

identified above: 

TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary 

Grant program grantees will submit a 

Project Progress and Monitoring Report 

and the Federal Financial Report (SF– 

425) to the Government on a quarterly 

basis. Grantees should use the following 

structure when preparing the quarterly 

Project Progress and Monitoring Report. 

• Project Progress and Monitoring 

Report 

Æ Frequency: Quarterly (on the 20th 

of the first month of the calendar 

quarter). 

Æ Report covers: Previous quarter, 

along with a two-quarter forecast. 

Æ Start: Upon award of grant. 

Æ End: Once construction is 

complete. 

Æ Format/Fields and accompanying 

instructions (beyond project ID 

information): 

1. Executive Summary.—A clear and 

concise summary of the current status of 

the project, including identification of 

any major issues that have an impact on 

the project’s scope, budget, schedule, 

quality, or safety, including: 

• Current total project cost (forecast) 

vs. latest budget vs. baseline budget. 

Include an explanation of the reasons 

for any deviations from the approved 

budget. 

• Current overall project completion 

percentage vs. latest plan percentage. 

• Any delays or exposures to 

milestone and final completion dates. 

Include an explanation of the reasons 

for the delays and exposures. 

• A summary of the projected and 

actual dates for notices to proceed for 

significant contracts, start of 

construction, start of expenditure of 

TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary Grant 

funds, and project completion date. 

Include an explanation of the reasons 

for any discrepancies from the 

corresponding project milestone dates 

included in the Agreement. 

• Any Federal obligations and/or 

TIFIA disbursements occurring during 

the month versus planned obligations or 

disbursements. 

• Any significant contracts 

advertised, awarded, or completed. 

• Any significant scope of work 

changes. 

• Any significant items identified as 

having deficient quality. 

• Any significant safety issues. 

• Any significant Federal issues such 

as environmental compliance, Buy 

America/Buy American (whichever is 

applicable to this Project), Davis Bacon 

Act Prevailing Wage requirements, etc. 

2. Project Activities and 

Deliverables.—Highlighting the project 

activities and deliverables occurring 

during the previous quarter (reporting 

period), and (2) define the activities and 

deliverables planned for the next two 

reporting periods. Activities and 

deliverables to be reported on should 

include meetings, audits and other 

reviews, design packages submitted, 

advertisements, awards, construction 

submittals, construction completion 

milestones, submittals related to 

Recovery Act requirements, media or 

Congressional inquiries, value 

engineering/constructability reviews, 

and other items of significance. The two 

reporting period ‘‘look ahead schedule’’ 

will enable the Government to 

accommodate any activities requiring 

input or assistance. 

3. Action Items/Outstanding Issues.— 

Drawing attention to, and tracking the 

progress of, highly significant or 

sensitive issues requiring action and 

direction in order to resolve. In general, 

issues and administrative requirements 

that could have a significant or adverse 

impact to the project’s scope, budget, 

schedule, quality, safety, and/or 

compliance with Federal requirements 

should be included. Status, responsible 

person(s), and due dates should be 

included for each action item/ 

outstanding issue. Action items 

requiring action or direction should be 

included in the quarterly status meeting 

agenda. The action items/outstanding 

issues may be dropped from this section 

upon full implementation of the 

remedial action, and upon no further 

monitoring anticipated. 

4. Project Schedule.—An updated 

master program schedule reflecting the 

current status of the program activities 

should be included in this section. A 

Gantt (bar) type chart is probably the 

most appropriate for quarterly reporting 

purposes, with the ultimate format to be 

agreed upon between the grantee and 

the Government. It is imperative that the 

master program schedule be integrated, 

i.e., the individual contract milestones 

tied to each other, such that any delays 

occurring in one activity will be 

reflected throughout the entire program 

schedule, with a realistic completion 

date being reported. Narratives, tables, 

and/or graphs should accompany the 

updated master program schedule, 

basically detailing the current schedule 

status, delays and potential exposures, 

and recovery efforts. The following 

information should also be included: 

• Current overall project completion 

percentage vs. latest plan percentage. 

• Completion percentages vs. latest 

plan percentages for major activities 

such as right-of-way, major or critical 

design contracts, major or critical 

construction contracts, and significant 

force accounts or task orders. A 

schedule status description should also 

be included for each of these major or 

critical elements. 

• Any delays or potential exposures 

to milestone and final completion dates. 

The delays and exposures should be 

quantified and overall schedule impacts 

assessed. The reasons for the delays and 

exposures should be explained, and 

initiatives being analyzed or 

implemented in order to recover the 

schedule should be detailed. 

5. Project Cost.—An updated cost 

spreadsheet reflecting the current 

forecasted cost vs. the latest approved 

budget vs. the baseline budget should be 

included in this section. One way to 

track project cost is to show: (1) 

Baseline Budget, (2) Latest Approved 

Budget, (3) Current Forecasted Cost 

Estimate, (4) Expenditures or 

Commitments To Date, and (5) Variance 

between Current Forecasted Cost and 

Latest Approved Budget. Line items 

should include all significant cost 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2011 / Notices 23853 

centers, such as prior costs, right-ofway, preliminary engineering, 

environmental mitigation, general 

engineering consultant, section design 

contracts, construction administration, 

utilities, construction packages; force 

accounts/task orders, wrap-up 

insurance, construction contingencies, 

management contingencies, and other 

contingencies. The line items can be 

broken-up in enough detail such that 

specific areas of cost change can be 

sufficiently tracked and future 

improvements made to the overall cost 

estimating methodology. A Program 

Total line should be included at the 

bottom of the spreadsheet. Narratives, 

tables, and/or graphs should accompany 

the updated cost spreadsheet, basically 

detailing the current cost status, reasons 

for cost deviations, impacts of cost 

overruns, and efforts to mitigate cost 

overruns. The following information 

should be provided: 

• Reasons for each line item deviation 

from the approved budget, impacts 

resulting from the deviations, and 

initiatives being analyzed or 

implemented in order to recover any 

cost overruns. 

• Transfer of costs to and from 

contingency line items, and reasons 

supporting the transfers. 

• Speculative cost changes that 

potentially may develop in the future, a 

quantified dollar range for each 

potential cost change, and the current 

status of the speculative change. Also, a 

comparison analysis to the available 

contingency amounts should be 

included, showing that reasonable and 

sufficient amounts of contingency 

remain to keep the project within the 

latest approved budget. 

• Detailed cost breakdown of the 

general engineering consultant (GEC) 

services (if applicable), including such 

line items as contract amounts, task 

orders issued (amounts), balance 

remaining for tasks, and accrued 

(billable) costs. 

• Federal obligations and/or TIFIA 

disbursements for the project, compared 

to planned obligations and 

disbursements. 

6. Project Funding Status.—The 

purpose of this section is to provide a 

status report on the non-TIGER and non 

TIGER II Discretionary Grant funds 

necessary to complete the project. This 

report section should include a status 

update of any legislative approvals or 

other actions necessary to provide the 

non-TIGER and non TIGER II 

Discretionary Grant funds to the project. 

Such approvals might include 

legislative authority to charge user fees 

or set toll rates, or the commitment of 

local funding revenues to the project. In 

the event that there is an anticipated or 

actual project cost increase, the project 

funding status section should include a 

report on the anticipated or actual 

source of funds to cover the cost 

increase and any significant issues 

identified with obtaining additional 

funding. 

7. Project Quality.—The purpose of 

this section is to: (1) Summarize the 

Quality Assurance/Quality Control 

activities during the previous month 

(reporting period), and (2) highlight any 

significant items identified as being 

deficient in quality. Deficient items 

noted should be accompanied by 

reasons and specifics concerning the 

deficiencies, and corrective actions 

taken or planned. In addition, the 

agency or firm responsible for the 

corrective action should be 

documented. Planned corrective actions 

should then be included as Action 

Items/Outstanding Issues. 

8. Federal Financial Report (SF– 

425).—The Federal Financial Report 

(SF–425) (available at http://

www.forms.gov/bgfPortal/

docDetails.do?dId=15149) is a financial 

reporting form used throughout the 

Federal Government Grant system. 

Grantees should complete this form and 

attach it to each quarterly Project 

Progress and Monitoring Report. 

TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary 

Grant program grantees will submit an 

Annual Budget Review and Program 

Plan to the Government 60 days prior to 

the end of each Agreement year that 

they are receiving grant funds. Grantees 

should use the following structure when 

preparing the Annual Budget Review 

Report. 

• Annual Budget Review Report 

Æ Frequency: Yearly (60 days before 

the end of the Agreement year). 

Æ Report covers: Upcoming 

Agreement year. 

Æ Start: 60 days before first 

anniversary of grant award. 

Æ End: Once construction is 

complete. 

Æ Format/Fields and accompanying 

instructions (beyond project ID 

information): 

1. Detailed Schedule of Activities.— 

An updated master program schedule 

reflecting the current status of the 

program activities should be included in 

this section. A Gantt (bar) type chart is 

probably the most appropriate for 

annual reporting purposes. 

2. Estimate of Specific Performance 

Objectives.—This section will discuss, 

what, if any performance objectives of 

the project will be achieved over the 

course of the upcoming Agreement Year 

and note any differences from the 

original project plan. 

3. Forecasted Expenditures.—This 

section will discuss financial outlays 

that will occur in support of the project 

over the course of the upcoming 

Agreement Year and note any 

differences from the original project 

plan. 

4. Schedule of Milestones for the 

Upcoming Agreement Year.—This 

section will discuss, what, if any project 

milestones will be achieved over the 

course of the upcoming Agreement Year 

and the obligations associated with each 

milestone, noting any differences from 

the original project plan. 

If there are no proposed deviations 

from the Approved Detailed Project 

Budget, the Annual Budget Review shall 

contain a statement stating such. The 

grantee will meet with the Government 

to discuss the Annual Budget Review 

and Program Plan. If there is an actual 

or projected project cost increase, the 

annual submittal should include a 

written plan for providing additional 

sources of funding to cover the project 

budget shortfall or supporting 

documentation of committed funds to 

cover the cost increase. To the extent 

the annual budget update deviates from 

the approved project budget by more 

than 10 percent, then work proposed 

under the Annual Budget Review and 

Program Plan shall not commence until 

written approval from the Government 

is received. 

TIGER and TIGER II Discretionary 

Grant program grantees will submit 

Performance Measure Reports on the 

performance (or projected performance) 

of the project using the performance 

measures that the grantee and the 

Government selected through negations. 

• Performance Measurement Reports 

Æ Frequency: Quarterly (on the 20th 

of the first month of the calendar 

quarter). 

Æ Report covers: Previous quarter. 

Æ Start: Once, upon award of grant; 

Quarterly, once construction complete. 

Æ End: At the end of agreed upon 

performance measurement period. 

Æ Format/Fields and accompanying 

instructions (beyond project ID 

information): 

1. Performance Measures Narrative.— 

Including a detailed description of data 

sources, assumptions, variability, and 

the estimated level of precision for each 

measure. 

2. Performance Measures 

Spreadsheet.—Government and grantee 

will agree on the format of the 

spreadsheet for each individual project. 

Measures (to be negotiated between

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release property at the Dubois 

Regional Airport under the provisions of 

Section 47125(a) of Title 49 U.S.C. On 

April 20, 2011, the FAA determined that 

the request to release property at the 

Dubois Regional Airport (DUJ), 

Pennsylvania submitted by the 

Clearfield-Jefferson Counties Regional 

Airport Authority (Authority) met the 

procedural requirements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Authority requests the release of 

real property totaling 5.01 acres, of nonaeronautical airport property to AVERA 

Companies of Houston, TX. The land 

was originally purchased with Federal 

funds in 1988, AIP Grant 3–42–0023– 

05–88. The undeveloped property is 

located on the southeast corner within 

the Air Commerce Park, which is 

directly north of the main DuBois 

Regional Airport parking lot. AVERA 

Companies is proposing to develop the 

property and erect a building. The 

subject land does not serve an 

aeronautical purpose and is not needed 

for airport development, as shown on 

the Airport Layout Plan. All proceeds 

from the sale of property are to be used 

for the capital development of the 

airport. Fair Market Value (FMV) will be 

obtained from the land sale and 

reinvested back into an AIP eligible 

project at the airport. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

release from obligations. All comments 

will be considered by the FAA to the 

extent practicable.
