program may request different data in 

some of the data fields on the form, the 

use of the Standard Form 424 will be 

mandatory. FMCSA must adopt the 

Standard Form—Project Progress Report 

(SF–PPR) as its preferred form for 

quarterly reporting. Therefore, the SF– 

PRR would be mandatory for quarterly 

reporting. However, individual grant 

programs may require additional SF– 

PRR attachments. Additional guidance 

will be provided to grant recipients 

upon award. 

Fourth, FMCSA is increasing the use 

of electronic documents. As a result, the 

number of original copies of grant 

agreements required to be signed by 

Grantees and submitted to FMCSA is 

now two. In addition, FMCSA will 

provide most grant agreement 

documents electronically to its financial 

processing office. Grantees are, 

however, still required to submit the 

Automated Clearing House (ACH) 

Vendor Payment Form (SF–3881) 

directly to FMCSA’s financial 

processing office by U.S. Postal Service, 

courier service or secure fax. 

Application Information for FY 2010 

Grants 

General information about FMCSA 

grant programs is available in the 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

which can be found on the internet at 

http://www.cfda.gov. To apply for 

funding, applicants must register with 

grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/

Evaluation Factors: The following 

evaluation factors will be used in 

reviewing the applications for all 

FMCSA discretionary grants: 

(1) Prior performance—Completion of 

identified programs and goals per the 

project plan. 

(2) Effective Use of Prior Grants— 

Demonstrated timely use and expensing 

of available funds. 

(3) Cost Effectiveness—Applications 

will be evaluated and prioritized on the 

expected safety impact relative to the 

investment of grant funds. Where 

appropriate, costs per unit will be 

calculated and compared with national 

averages to determine effectiveness. In 

other areas, proposed costs will be 

compared with historical information to 

confirm reasonableness. 

(4) Applicability to announced 

priorities—If national priorities are 

included in the grants.gov notice, those 

proposals that specifically address these 

issues will be given priority 

consideration. 

(5) Ability of the applicant to support 

the strategies and activities in the 

proposal for the entire project period of 

performance. 

(6) Use of innovative approaches in 

executing a project plan to address 

identified safety issues. 

(7) Feasibility of overall program 

coordination and implementation based 

upon the project plan. 

(8) Grant specific evaluation factors as 

described in the grants.gov application 

information.
