local match: Procurement of rails, ties, 

and other specialized equipment; the 

procurement of commodities; and 

demolition. 

FTA reminds project sponsors and the 

public that local funds expended by the 

project sponsor pursuant to and after the 

date of the pre-award authority are 

eligible for reimbursement or as credit 

toward local match only if FTA later 

makes a grant or grant amendment for 

the project. Local funds expended by 

the project sponsor prior to the date of 

the pre-award authority are not eligible 

for credit toward local match or 

reimbursement. 

The above changes to automatic preaward authority are expected to reduce 

the need for LONPs. FTA will still 

consider LONPs for activities not 

covered by automatic pre-award 

authority. As a change in administrative 

practice, FTA will, following the 

completion of the requirements under 

NEPA, expedite the issuance of LONPs, 

when appropriate, by no longer 

performing a detailed review of the cost 

and scope of the request in every 

instance. Rather, a limited review will 

be performed in those cases that are of 

a more routine nature, especially those 

involving an experienced sponsor. 

This change has the following 

ramifications. First, an LONP is no 

longer an indication by FTA that the 

project is a promising candidate for 

either an FFGA or PCGA. Second, FTA 

is transferring more risk to the project 

sponsor. LONPs allow a project sponsor 

to incur costs using non-Federal 

resources, with the understanding that 

the costs incurred subsequent to the 

issuance of the LONP may be 

reimbursable as eligible expenses or 

eligible as credit toward the local match 

only if FTA approves the project for 

funding at a later date. Federal funding 

is not implied or guaranteed by an 

LONP. The reduced level of FTA 

oversight should expedite the delivery 

of New Starts and Small Starts projects, 

but will also require increased diligence 

on the part of project sponsors to ensure 

that public funds are expended wisely.
