Title: Charter Service Operations. 

OMB Number: 2132–0543. 

Background: FTA’s Charter Service 

Regulations protects private charter 

operators from unauthorized 

competition from FTA grant recipients. 

In essence, the charter regulations were 

implemented to ensure that transit 

agencies, subsidized with federal 

money, do not unfairly compete with 

privately owned bus companies. Under 

the charter rules, with limited 

exceptions, local transit agencies are 

restricted from operating chartered 

services. 

Charter service means, but does not 

include demand response service to 

individuals: 

• Transportation provided by a 

recipient at the request of a third party 

for the exclusive use of a bus or van for 

a negotiated price. The following 

features may be characteristic of charter 

service: 

Æ A third party pays the transit 

provider a negotiated price for the 

group, 

Æ Any fares charged to individual 

members of the group are collected by 

a third party, 

Æ The service is not part of the transit 

provider’s regularly scheduled service, 

or is offered for a limited period of time, 

or 

Æ A third party determines the origin 

and destination of the trip as well as 

scheduling; or 

• Transportation provided by a 

recipient to the public for events or 

functions that occur on an irregular 

basis or for a limited duration and: 

Æ A premium fare is charged that is 

greater than the usual or customary 

fixed route fare; or 

Æ The service is paid for in whole or 

in part by a third party. 

There are limited exceptions when a 

grantee may provide charter service, 

including: 

• Official government business, 

• Qualified Human Service 

Organizations (elderly, persons with 

disabilities, and low-income 

individuals), 

• When no registered charter provider 

responds to a notice sent by a recipient, 

• Leasing (must exhaust all available 

vehicles first), 

• By agreement with all registered 

charter providers, 

• Petitions to the Administrator: 

Events of regional or national 

significance, or hardship. 

Respondents: Transit Agencies and 

Private Operators. 

Estimated Annual Responses: 1,810 

respondents. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 359 

hours. 

Frequency: Annually, bi-annually, 

quarterly, and as required.

H. Other Information 

A. Program Description 

Section 3006(b) of the Fixing 

America’s Surface Transportation 

(FAST) Act (Pub. L. 114–94) authorizes 

FTA to award grants for ICAM pilot 

projects that improve the coordination 

of transportation services and NEMT 

services for transportation 

disadvantaged populations. The 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

(the ‘‘Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’’ or 

‘‘BIL’’) (Pub. L. 117–58) authorized 

funding for FY 2022 through FY 2026. 

Transportation disadvantaged 

populations include older adults, 

people with disabilities, and people of 

low income. 

In the FY 2024 program, FTA intends 

to target funding for regional and 

statewide mobility management capital 

projects that support coordination and 

enable comprehensive community 

access, including access to NEMT, for 

underserved groups. In accordance with 

Performance Measure 3.1.9 in the 

Coordinating Council on Access and 

Mobility (CCAM)’s 2023–2026 Strategic 

Plan (https://www.transit.dot.gov/ 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

regulations-and-programs/access/ccam/ 

about/2023-2026-coordinating-councilaccess-and-mobility), FTA has 

collaborated with the Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 

to ensure that this Notice of Funding 

Opportunity (NOFO) includes a link to 

the 2023 CMS sub-regulatory guidance 

[Assurance of Transportation: A 

Medicaid Transportation Coverage 

Guide (https://www.medicaid.gov/sites/ 

default/files/2023-09/smd23006.pdf)] to 

help inform potential applicants about 

flexibilities within Medicaid NEMT. 

Applicants are encouraged to coordinate 

with and engage their State Medicaid 

office (https://www.medicaid.gov/stateoverviews/state-profiles/index.html) to 

best understand and navigate the 

Medicaid NEMT rules and regulations 

to develop a successful ICAM pilot 

program application. 

The CCAM consists of 11 Federal 

agencies and coordinates 130 Federal 

programs that may fund transportation 

(find the CCAM Program Inventory at 

https://www.transit.dot.gov/regulationsand-guidance/ccam/about/ccamprogram-inventory). The CCAM’s 

mission is to improve the availability, 

accessibility, and efficiency of 

transportation for targeted populations. 

The benefits of successful coordinated 

transportation systems include 

providing greater access to funding and 

enabling more cost-effective use of 

resources; reducing duplication and 

overlap in human service agency 

transportation services; filling service 

gaps in a community or geographic area; 

serving additional individuals within 

existing budgets; and providing more 

centralized management of existing 

resources. 

The ICAM pilot program (Federal 

Assistance Listing 20.513) supports 

FTA’s strategic goals of improving 

equity and connecting communities by 

providing funding for deployment of 

coordination technology, mobility 

management, and other capital projects 

that: improve access and mobility, 

positively affect social determinants of 

health, and improve quality of life for 

disadvantaged communities. 

The Department seeks to award 

projects under the ICAM pilot program 

that will create proportional impacts to 

all populations in a project area, remove 

transportation related disparities to all 

populations in a project area, and 

increase equitable access to project 

benefits, consistent with Executive 

Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity 

and Support for Underserved 

Communities Through the Federal 

Government (86 FR 7009). The 

Department also seeks to award projects 

that address equity and environmental 

justice, particularly for communities 

that have experienced decades of 

underinvestment and are most impacted 

by climate change, pollution, and 

environmental hazards, consistent with 

Executive Order 14008, Tackling the 

Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 

FR 7619). 

The ICAM pilot program will improve 

State and regional coordination by 

funding regional and statewide mobility 

management capital projects that enable 

comprehensive community access, 

including NEMT, for underserved 

groups. Successful projects will 

prioritize coordination, including 

coordination with recipients of funding 

from Federal agencies that are members 

of the CCAM (https://

www.transit.dot.gov/coordinatingcouncil-access-and-mobility), that 

enhances access and mobility to vital 

community services for older adults, 

people with disabilities, and people of 

low income. 

Agencies often restrict their 

transportation services to clients of a 

specific program and do not permit the 

vehicles or services to be used by other 

programs or riders. This practice leads 

to inefficient use of resources and 

unused capacity. These restrictions are 

often attributed to Federal requirements 

but compliance with Federal 

requirements can be achieved without 

such restrictions. Federally funded 

vehicles and transportation resources 

can be shared with other agencies that 

have a transportation role, as long as 

costs can be allocated appropriately. 

The ICAM pilot program seeks to help 

promote this coordination. 

B. Federal Award Information 

Federal public transportation law (49 

U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(E)) authorized 

$4,701,218 in FY 2023 funds for 

competitive grants under the ICAM pilot 

program. FTA may cap the amount a 

single recipient or State may receive as 

part of the selection process. There is no 

minimum or maximum grant award 

amount; however, FTA intends to fund 

as many meritorious projects as 

possible. An additional $4,823,972 is 

authorized for FY 2024 and FTA may 

award additional funding made 

available to the program prior to the 

announcement of the project selections. 

Due to funding limitations, projects 

selected for funding may receive less 

than the amount originally requested. In 

those cases, applicants must be able to 

demonstrate that the proposed projects 

are still viable, meet all eligibility 

requirements, and can be completed 

with the amount awarded. 

FTA will grant pre-award authority to 

incur costs for selected projects 

beginning on the date project selections 

are announced on FTA’s website. Funds 

are available for obligation for two fiscal 

years after the fiscal year in which the 

competitive awards are announced. 

Funds are available only for eligible 

costs incurred after the date project 

selections are announced. FTA intends 

to fund as many meritorious projects as 

possible. 

C. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants 

Eligible applicants are entities eligible 

as direct or designated recipients under 

the Section 5310 program, including: 

State departments of transportation, 

designated recipients for Section 5310 

funds, or local governmental entities 

that operate a public transportation 

service, or their eligible subrecipients 

that have the authority and technical 

capacity to implement a regional or 

statewide cost allocation pilot. Private 

entities that provide shared-ride ondemand service to the general public on 

a regular basis are operators of public 

transportation and are therefore eligible 

subrecipients. Organizations that do not 

operate public transportation are not 

eligible applicants. 

Applicants must serve as the lead 

agency of a regional or statewide 

consortium that includes stakeholders 

from the transportation, healthcare, 

human service, or other sectors. 

Applicants are encouraged to coordinate 

with and engage their State Medicaid 

office (https://www.medicaid.gov/stateoverviews/state-profiles/index.html) to 

best understand and navigate the 

Medicaid NEMT rules and regulations 

to develop a successful ICAM pilot 

program application. Recently updated 

Medicaid sub-regulatory guidance can 

be found in the aforementioned 

Assurance of Transportation: A 

Medicaid Transportation Coverage 

Guide. Members of this consortium are 

eligible as subrecipients if they would 

otherwise be eligible subrecipients of 

Section 5310 funds. Further, applicants 

must demonstrate that the proposed 

project was planned through an 

inclusive process with the involvement 

of the transportation, healthcare, and 

human service sectors. An 

implementation plan and schedule must 

be submitted as part of the proposal. 

2. Cost Sharing or Matching 

The maximum Federal share of 

projects selected under the ICAM pilot 

program is 80 percent. The applicant 

must provide a non-Federal share of at 

least 20 percent of the project cost and 

must document the source of the nonFederal match in the grant application. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 78459 

Federal funds may not be used as match 

for this program unless the Federal 

program providing the funds expressly 

authorizes its funds to fulfill the match 

requirement of another Federal program. 

Per 49 U.S.C. 5323(i), the Federal share 

may exceed 80 percent for certain 

projects related to the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and 

Clean Air Act (CAA) compliance as 

follows: 

(1) Vehicles. The Federal share is 85

percent of the net project cost of the 

acquisition of vehicles (including cleanfuel or alternative fuel vehicles) for 

purposes of complying with or 

maintaining compliance with the ADA 

or CAA. 

(2) Vehicle-Related Equipment and

Facilities. The Federal share is 90 

percent of the net project cost for 

acquiring vehicle-related equipment or 

facilities (including clean fuel or 

alternative fuel vehicle-related 

equipment or facilities) for purposes of 

complying or maintaining compliance 

with the ADA or CAA. FTA considers 

vehicle-related equipment to be 

equipment on and attached to the 

vehicle. The award recipient must 

itemize the cost of specific, discrete, 

vehicle-related equipment associated 

with compliance with the ADA or CAA 

to be eligible for the maximum 90 

percent Federal share for these costs. 

Eligible sources of non-Federal 

matching funds include: 

i. Cash from non-governmental

sources other than revenues from 

providing transit services (such as fare 

revenues); 

ii. Non-farebox revenues from the

operation of public transportation 

service, such as the sale of advertising 

and concession; 

iii. Monies received under a service

agreement with a State or local social 

service agency or private social service 

organization; 

iv. Undistributed cash surpluses,

replacement, or depreciation cash 

funds, reserves available in cash, or new 

capital; 

v. In-kind contributions integral to the

project; 

vi. Revenue bond proceeds for a

capital project, with prior FTA 

approval; and 

vii. Transportation Development

Credits (formerly referred to as Toll 

Revenue Credits). 

3. Eligible Projects

Eligible projects are capital projects,

as defined in 49 U.S.C. 5302(4). FTA 

intends to make grants to assist in 

financing innovative projects for the 

transportation disadvantaged that 

improve the coordination of 

transportation services and NEMT 

services, including: regional or 

statewide mobility management 

projects; deployment of coordination 

technology; and regional or statewide 

projects that create or increase access to 

one-call/one-click centers. For purposes 

of this NOFO, regional is defined as 

projects that cover more than one 

community or area such as multiple 

cities, counties, or tribal areas. FTA’s 

goal for these pilot program grants is to 

identify and test promising, innovative, 

coordinated mobility strategies other 

communities can replicate. Only one 

project may be included in each 

application. The ICAM grants will 

operate as pilots for up to 24 months. 

Within the first year, projects must be 

able to demonstrate significant progress 

toward increased State interagency 

coordination. ICAM funds must be used 

to implement a regional or statewide 

pilot of coordinated service delivery, to 

demonstrate the benefits of coordinated 

transportation. Projects funded under 

previous ICAM NOFOs are not eligible. 

D. Application and Submission

Information

1. Address To Request Application

Package

Applications must be submitted 

through GRANTS.GOV. Applicants can 

find general information for submitting 

applications at GRANTS.GOV. Mail and 

fax submissions will not be accepted.

application must include responses to 

all sections of the SF–424 Mandatory 

Form and the Supplemental Form 

unless a section is indicated as optional. 

FTA will use the information on the 

Supplemental Form to determine 

applicant and project eligibility for the 

program and to evaluate the proposal 

against the selection criteria described 

in part E of this notice. FTA will accept 

only one Supplemental Form per SF– 

424 submission. FTA encourages States 

and other applicants to consider 

submitting a single Supplemental Form 

that includes multiple activities to be 

evaluated as a consolidated proposal. If 

States or other applicants choose to 

submit separate proposals for individual 

consideration by FTA, they must submit 

each proposal with a separate SF–424 

and Supplemental Form. 

Applicants may attach additional 

supporting information to the SF–424 

submission, including, but not limited 

to the following examples: letters of 

support, memorandums of 

understanding, interagency agreements, 

coordinated plans, project budgets, fleet 

status reports, or excerpts from relevant 

planning documents. Supporting 

documentation must be described and 

referenced by file name in the 

appropriate response section of the 

Supplemental Form, or it may not be 

reviewed.

details on the non-Federal match 

m. A description of the technical, 

legal, and financial capacity of the 

applicant 

n. A detailed project budget (up to 24 

months). The project budget should 

show how different funding sources will 

share in each activity and present those 

data in dollars and percentages. The 

budget should identify other Federal 

funds the applicant is applying for or 

has been awarded, if any, that the 

applicant intends to use. Funding 

sources should be grouped into three 

categories: non-Federal, ICAM (Federal), 

and other Federal with specific amounts 

from each funding source 

o. An explanation of the scalability of 

the project (if applicable)—Applicants 

are encouraged to identify scaled 

funding options in case insufficient 

funding is available to fund a project at 

the full requested amount. If an 

applicant indicates that a project is 

scalable, the applicant must provide an 

appropriate minimum funding amount 

that will fund an eligible project that 

achieves the objectives of the program 

and meets all relevant program 

requirements. The applicant must 

provide a clear explanation of how the 

project budget would be affected by a 

reduced award. 

p. A detailed project timeline 

q. Address all the applicable criteria 

and priority considerations identified in 

Section E. 

3. Unique Entity Identifier and System 

for Award Management (SAM) 

Each applicant is required to: (1) be 

registered in SAM before submitting an 

application; (2) provide a valid unique 

entity identifier in its application; and 

(3) continue to maintain an active SAM 

registration with current information 

during which the applicant has an 

active Federal award or an application 

or plan under consideration by FTA. 

FTA may not make an award until the 

applicant has complied with all 

applicable unique entity identifier and 

SAM requirements. If an applicant has 

not fully complied with the 

requirements by the time FTA is ready 

to make an award, FTA may determine 

that the applicant is not qualified to 

receive an award and use that 

determination as a basis for making a 

Federal award to another applicant. 

These requirements do not apply if the 

applicant has an exception approved by 

FTA under 2 CFR 25.110(c) or (d). SAM 

registration takes approximately 3–5 

business days, but FTA recommends 

allowing ample time, up to several 

weeks, for completion of all steps. For 

additional information on obtaining a 

unique entity identifier, please visit 

https://www.sam.gov. 

FTA will provide further instructions 

on registration through an introductory 

applicant training session. Dates and 

times for the training session will be 

posted on FTA’s website. 

4. Submission Dates and Times 

Project proposals must be submitted 

electronically through GRANTS.GOV by 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time February 13, 

2024. Late applications will not be 

accepted. Mail and fax submissions will 

not be accepted. 

FTA urges applicants to submit 

applications at least 72 hours prior to 

the due date to allow time to correct any 

problems that may have caused either 

GRANTS.GOV or FTA systems to reject 

the submission. Deadlines will not be 

extended due to scheduled website 

maintenance. GRANTS.GOV scheduled 

maintenance and outage times are 

announced on the GRANTS.GOV 

website. 

Within 48 hours after submitting an 

electronic application, the applicant 

should receive an email message from 

GRANTS.GOV with confirmation of 

successful transmission to 

GRANTS.GOV. If a notice of failed 

validation or incomplete materials is 

received, the applicant must address the 

reason for the failed validation, as 

described in the email notice, and 

resubmit before the submission 

deadline. If making a resubmission for 

any reason, include all original 

attachments regardless of which 

attachments were updated and check 

the box on the supplemental form 

indicating this is a resubmission. 

Applicants are encouraged to begin 

the process of registration on the 

GRANTS.GOV site well in advance of 

the submission deadline. Registration is 

a multi-step process, which may take 

several weeks to complete before an 

application can be submitted. Registered 

applicants may still be required to 

update their registration before 

submitting an application. Registration 

in SAM is renewed annually and 

persons making submissions on behalf 

of the Authorized Organization 

Representative (AOR) must be 

authorized in GRANTS.GOV by the 

AOR to make submissions. 

5. Funding Restrictions 

Funds made available under the 

ICAM pilot program may only be used 

for capital expenditures, including 

mobility management, that are included 

in the State Transportation 

Improvement Plan/Transportation 

Improvement Plan. Eligible projects are 

capital projects, as defined in 49 U.S.C. 

5302(4). Allowable direct and indirect 

expenses must be consistent with the 

Government-wide Uniform 

Administrative Requirements and Cost 

Principles (2 CFR part 200) and FTA 

Circular 5010.1E. 

Funds awarded under this notice 

cannot be used to reimburse recipients 

for expenses incurred prior to FTA 

issuing pre-award authority. FTA 

intends to issue pre-award authority 

pursuant to 2 CFR 200.458 to incur costs 

for selected projects beginning on the 

date FTA announces recipients of the 

FY 2024 awards on FTA’s website. 

Funds are only available for projects 

that have not incurred costs prior to the 

announcement of project selections on 

FTA’s website and the corresponding 

issuance of pre-award authority. 

6. Other Submission Requirements 

FTA encourages applicants to identify 

scaled funding options in the event that 

insufficient funding is available to fund 

a project at the fully requested amount. 

If an applicant indicates that a project 

is scalable, the applicant must provide 

an appropriate minimum funding 

amount that will fund an eligible project 

that achieves the objectives of the 

program and meets all relevant program 

requirements. The applicant must 

provide a clear explanation of how a 

reduced award would affect the project. 

FTA may award a lesser amount 

regardless of whether the applicant 

provides a scalable option. 

E. Application Review Information 

1. Criteria 

FTA will evaluate proposals 

submitted according to the following 

criteria: (a) demonstration of need; (b) 

demonstration of benefits; (c) planning 

and partnerships; (d) local financial 

commitment; (e) project implementation 

strategy; and (f) technical, legal, and 

financial capacity. Each applicant is 

encouraged to provide a succinct, 

logical, and orderly response to all 

criteria referenced in this NOFO. 

Additional information may be

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 78461 

provided to support the responses; 

however, any additional documentation 

must be directly referenced on the 

Supplemental Form, including the file 

name where the additional information 

can be found. 

a. Demonstration of Need 

FTA will evaluate proposals based on 

how the proposed project will address 

the need for a regional or statewide 

capital project that enables 

comprehensive community access, 

including NEMT access, for 

underserved groups. FTA will consider 

the scope of the overall need or 

challenge as described. Applications 

should address how the need is related 

to one or both of the following goals: 

(1) A need to coordinate multiple 

funding sources that can fund 

transportation (i.e. CCAM Program 

Inventory (https://www.transit.dot.gov/ 

regulations-and-guidance/ccam/about/ 

ccam-program-inventory) which 

includes aging/disability programs 

(https://acl.gov/programs), Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 

(https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ofa/programs/ 

temporary-assistance-needy-familiestanf), Medicaid (https://

www.medicaid.gov/about-us/learn-howapply-for-coverage/index.html), etc.); 

(2) A need to improve transportation 

services for the targeted disadvantaged 

community. 

b. Demonstration of Benefits 

FTA will evaluate proposals on the 

benefits provided by the proposed 

project. Benefits will be tied to the 

ICAM pilot program goals and project 

elements: 

Goals: 

(1) Improve access to coordinated 

transportation services; 

(2) Reduce duplication of service; and 

(3) Enhance efficiency of the 130 

Federal programs that may fund human 

service transportation. 

Project Elements: 

(1) Develop an inter-agency 

transportation coordinating work group 

at the regional or state-level; 

(2) The adoption of: 

a. Consistent driver and vehicle 

standards, 

b. Cost allocation rate(s) when clients 

of different programs use a single 

transportation service, (increasing 

efficiency by using the same vehicles to 

transport passengers whose trips are 

funded via different Federal programs), 

c. Rate-setting methodology based on 

the cost allocation rate of providing 

transportation (allows costs to be billed 

or allocated appropriately to the 

transportation user, facilitating a more 

efficient use of transportation 

resources), and 

d. Cost allocation technology (enables 

costs to be shared equitably among 

participating agencies who receive 

funding from a variety of Federal 

agencies); and 

(3) Implementation of a regional or 

statewide pilot of coordinated service 

delivery to demonstrate the benefits of 

coordinated transportation. 

Proposals for projects that will not 

directly address the ICAM objectives or 

project elements should describe how 

the ICAM objectives or project elements 

are already met in the state or region. 

c. Planning and Partnerships 

Applicants must describe the eligible 

project and identify project partners and 

their specific role in the project (e.g., 

vendor, subrecipient, state agency). 

Successful projects will work 

collaboratively and leverage 

partnerships with agencies that are 

funding recipients of the Federal 

agencies that are members of the CCAM, 

such as the Department of Health and 

Human Services’ Administration for 

Community Living, Health Resources 

and Services Administration, and the 

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services. A full list of CCAM agencies 

may be accessed by going to https://

www.transit.dot.gov/ccam/about/ 

agencies. Partners also may include 

transportation providers as well as 

private and nonprofit entities involved 

in the coordination of NEMT for the 

transportation disadvantaged. 

Applicants should provide evidence of 

strong commitment from key partners, 

including memoranda of agreement or 

letters of support from relevant State 

agency stakeholders and partner 

organizations. Any changes to the 

proposed partnerships will require 

FTA’s advance approval and must be 

consistent with the scope of the 

approved project. Projects may be 

derived from a locally developed, 

coordinated public transit-human 

services transportation plan. Inclusion 

in the locally developed coordinated 

public transit-human service 

transportation plan, local and/or 

regional long range planning 

documents, and/or local government 

priorities will demonstrate local/ 

regional prioritization. 

FTA will evaluate the project based 

on the extent to which it was developed 

inclusively, incorporating meaningful 

involvement from key stakeholders 

including consumer representatives of 

the target groups and providers from the 

healthcare, transportation, and human 

services sectors, among others. The 

applicant must show significant, 

ongoing involvement of the project’s 

target population. 

d. Local Financial Commitment 

Applicants must identify the source of 

the non-Federal share and describe 

whether such funds are currently 

available for the project or will need to 

be secured if the project is selected for 

funding. FTA will consider the 

availability of the non-Federal share as 

evidence of local financial commitment 

to the project. 

e. Project Implementation Strategy 

FTA will evaluate the project on the 

proposed schedule, the applicant’s 

demonstrated ability to implement the 

proposed project, and the applicant’s 

ability to provide impact data during 

and after the pilot project. Applicants 

should indicate the short-term, midterm, and long-term goals for the 

project. Proposals must provide specific 

performance measures the eligible 

project will use to quantify actual 

outcomes against expected outcomes. 

FTA requires each successful 

applicant to report progress toward 

meeting project objectives on a quarterly 

basis and a final report at the end of the 

project. FTA will use this data to 

produce the required Annual Report to 

Congress that contains a detailed 

description of the activities carried out 

under the pilot program, and an 

evaluation of the program, including an 

evaluation of the performance measures 

described. 

f. Technical, Legal and Financial 

Capacity 

FTA will evaluate proposals on the 

capacity of the lead agency and any 

partners to successfully execute the 

pilot effort. The lead agency must have 

the authority and technical capacity to 

implement a regional or statewide cost 

allocation pilot project. The applicant 

should have no outstanding legal, 

technical, or financial issues that would 

make this a high-risk project. FTA will 

evaluate each proposal (including the 

business plan, financial projections, and 

other relevant data) for feasibility and 

longer-term sustainability of both the 

pilot project as well as the proposed 

project at full deployment. Applicants 

should discuss and include any 

supporting information demonstrating 

the lead agency has successfully 

executed a similar project or grant. FTA 

intends to select projects with a high 

likelihood of long-term success and 

sustainability. 

2. Review and Selection Process 

A technical evaluation committee 

made up of Federal staff will evaluate 

proposals based on the published 

evaluation criteria. FTA may request 

additional information from applicants,

78462 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 

1https://whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/ 

2023/01/M-23-09_Signed_CEQ_CPO.pdf. 

2See also https://static-datascreeningtool.geoplatform.gov/data-versions/1.0/ 

data/score/downloadable/CEQ-CEJSTInstructions.pdf. 

if necessary. Based on the review of the 

technical evaluation committee, the 

FTA Administrator will determine the 

final selection of projects for program 

funding. In determining the allocation 

of program funds, FTA may also 

consider geographic diversity, diversity 

in the size of the transit systems 

receiving funding, and the applicant’s 

receipt of other competitive awards. 

After applying the above criteria, FTA 

will give priority consideration to 

projects that support the Justice40 

initiative, https://

www.transportation.gov/equityJustice40. In support of Executive Order 

14008, DOT has been developing a 

geographic definition of Historically 

Disadvantaged Communities as part of 

its implementation of the Justice40 

Initiative. Consistent with the Interim 

Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative, 

Historically Disadvantaged 

Communities include (a) certain 

qualifying census tracts identified as 

disadvantaged due to categories of 

environmental, climate, and 

socioeconomic burdens, as identified by 

the Climate and Economic Justice 

Screening Tool, and (b) any Federally 

Recognized Tribes or Tribal entities, 

whether or not they have land.1

Applicants should use the Climate & 

Economic Justice Screening Tool 

(CEJST), a new tool by the White House 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), that aims to help Federal 

agencies identify disadvantaged 

communities as part of the Justice40 

initiative to accomplish the goal that 40 

percent of overall benefits from certain 

Federal investments reach 

disadvantaged communities. Applicants 

should use CEJST as the primary tool to 

identify disadvantaged communities 

(Justice40 communities). Applicants are 

strongly encouraged to supplement their 

use of the CEJST by employing the 

USDOT Equitable Transportation 

Community (ETC) Explorer to 

understand how their community or 

project area is experiencing 

disadvantage related to lack of 

transportation investments or 

opportunities. Through understanding 

how a community or project area is 

experiencing transportation-related 

disadvantage, applicants are able to 

address how the benefits of a project 

will reverse or mitigate the burdens of 

disadvantage and demonstrate how the 

project will address challenges and 

accrued benefits. https://

www.transportation.gov/priorities/ 

equity/justice40/etc-explorer. 

Additionally, in support of the Justice40 

Initiative, the applicant also should 

provide evidence of any strategies that 

the applicant has used in the planning 

process to seek out and consider the 

needs of those historically 

disadvantaged and underserved by 

existing transportation systems. For 

technical assistance using either 

mapping tool, please contact GMO@

dot.gov.2

If an applicant is proposing to 

implement autonomous vehicles or 

other innovative motor vehicle 

technology, the application should 

demonstrate that all vehicles will 

comply with applicable safety 

requirements, including those 

administered by the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

and Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA). Specifically, 

the application should show that 

vehicles acquired for the proposed 

project will comply with applicable 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 

(FMVSS) and Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Regulations (FMCSR). If the 

vehicles may not comply, the 

application should either (1) show that 

the vehicles and their proposed 

operations are within the scope of an 

exemption or waiver that has already 

been granted by NHTSA, FMCSA, or 

both agencies or (2) directly address 

whether the project will require 

exemptions or waivers from the FMVSS, 

FMCSR, or any other regulation and, if 

the project will require exemptions or 

waivers, present a plan for obtaining 

them. If applicable, FTA will also 

consider the extent to which the 

application presents a plan to address 

workforce impacts of autonomous 

vehicles or other innovative motor 

vehicle technology. 

3. Integrity and Performance Review 

Prior to making an award, FTA is 

required to review and consider any 

information about the applicant that is 

in the Federal Awardee Performance 

and Integrity Information Systems 

(FAPIIS) accessible through SAM. An 

applicant may review and comment on 

information about itself that a Federal 

awarding agency previously entered. 

FTA will consider any comments by the 

applicant, in addition to the other 

information in FAPIIS, in making a 

judgment about the applicant’s integrity, 

business ethics, and record of 

performance under Federal awards 

when completing the review of risk 

posed by applicants as described in 2 

CFR 200.206, Federal Awarding Agency 

Review of Risk Posed by Applicants. 

F. Federal Award Administration 

Information 

1. Federal Award Notices 

FTA will announce the final project 

selections on the FTA website. Project 

recipients should contact their FTA 

Regional Office for additional 

information regarding allocations for 

projects under each program. At the 

time the project selections are 

announced, FTA expects to extend preaward authority for the selected 

projects. There is no pre-award 

authority for these projects before 

announcement. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements 

i. Grant Requirements 

Selected applicants will submit a 

grant application through FTA’s Transit 

Award Management System (TrAMS) 

and adhere to FTA grant requirements. 

All competitive grants will be subject to 

the congressional notification and 

release process. All ICAM awards are 

subject to the requirements of the 

Formula Grants for the Enhanced 

Mobility of Seniors and Individuals 

with Disabilities (49 U.S.C. 5310), 

including those of FTA Circular 

‘‘Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and 

Individuals with Disabilities Program 

Guidance and Application Instructions’’ 

(FTA.C.9070.1). All recipients must 

accept the FTA Master Agreement and 

follow the Award Management 

Requirements (FTA.C.5010.1E) and the 

labor protections required by Federal 

public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 

5333(b)). Technical assistance regarding 

these requirements is available from 

each FTA Regional Office. 

By submitting a grant application, the 

applicant assures that it will comply 

with all applicable Federal statutes, 

regulations, Executive orders, directives, 

FTA circulars and other Federal 

administrative requirements in carrying 

out any project supported by the FTA 

grant, including the Davis-Bacon Act (40 

U.S.C. 3141–3144, and 3146–3148) as 

supplemented by Department of Labor 

regulations (29 CFR part 5, ‘‘Labor 

Standards Provisions Applicable to 

Contracts Covering Federally Financed 

and Assisted Construction’’). Further, 

the applicant acknowledges that it is 

under a continuing obligation to comply 

with the terms and conditions of the 

grant agreement issued for its project 

with FTA. The applicant understands 

that Federal laws, regulations, policies, 

and administrative practices might be 

modified from time to time and may 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 78463 

affect the implementation of the project. 

The applicant agrees that the most 

recent Federal requirements will apply 

to the project unless FTA issues a 

written determination otherwise. The 

applicant must submit the Certifications 

and Assurances before receiving a grant 

if it does not have current certifications 

on file. 

As authorized by Section 25019 of the 

BIL, applicants are encouraged to 

implement a local or other geographical 

or economic hiring preference relating 

to the use of labor for construction of a 

project funded by the grant, including 

pre-hire agreements, subject to any 

applicable State and local laws, policies, 

and procedures. 

ii. Made in America 

A project funded under this NOFO 

must comply with FTA’s Buy America 

(49 U.S.C. 5323(j)) and the Build 

America, Buy America Act’s domestic 

preference requirements for 

infrastructure projects (§§ 70901–70927 

of the Infrastructure Investment and 

Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117–58), which 

together require that all iron, steel, 

manufactured goods, and construction 

materials used in the project be 

produced in the United States and set 

minimum domestic content and final 

assembly requirements for rolling stock. 

Any proposal that will require a 

waiver of any domestic preference 

standard must identify the items for 

which a waiver will be sought in the 

application. Applicants should not 

proceed with the expectation that 

waivers will be granted. 

iii. Civil Rights Requirements 

Applications should demonstrate that 

the recipient has a plan for compliance 

with civil rights obligations and 

nondiscrimination laws, including Title 

VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 

and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation 

Act, and accompanying regulations. 

This should include a current Title VI 

Program Plan and a completed 

Community Participation Plan 

(alternatively called a Public 

Participation Plan and often part of the 

overall Title VI program plan), if 

applicable. Applicants who have not 

sufficiently demonstrated the conditions 

of compliance with civil rights 

requirements will be required to do so 

before receiving funds. 

Recipients of Federal transportation 

funding will be required to comply fully 

with the DOT’s regulations and 

guidance for the ADA and all relevant 

civil rights requirements. The 

Department’s and FTA’s Office of Civil 

Rights will work with awarded grant 

recipients to ensure full compliance 

with Federal civil rights requirements. 

iv. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

Recipients of planning or capital 

assistance that will award prime 

contracts, the cumulative total of which 

exceeds $250,000 in FTA funds in a 

Federal fiscal year, must have a 

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

(DBE) program that complies with the 

U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

DBE regulation (49 CFR part 26). 

To be eligible to bid on any FTAassisted vehicle procurement, entities 

that manufacture transit vehicles or 

perform post-production alterations or 

retrofitting must be certified Transit 

Vehicle Manufacturers (TVM). If a 

vehicle remanufacturer is responding to 

a solicitation for new or remanufactured 

vehicles with a vehicle to which the 

remanufacturer has provided postproduction alterations or retrofitting 

(e.g., replacing major components such 

as engine to provide a ‘‘like new’’ 

vehicle), the vehicle remanufacturer 

must be a certified TVM. 

v. Critical Infrastructure Security and 

Resilience 

It is the policy of the United States to 

strengthen the security and resilience of 

its critical infrastructure against both 

physical and cyber threats. TSA issued 

Security Directive 1582–21–01B, 

‘‘Enhancing Public Transportation and 

Passenger Railroad Cybersecurity’’ on 

October 23, 2023. The Security 

Directive, which applies to all public 

passenger rail owners and operators 

identified in 49 CFR 1582.101 and other 

TSA-designated owner/operators, 

requires four critical actions: 

1. Designate a cybersecurity 

coordinator who is required to be 

available to TSA and the DHS’s CISA at 

all times (all hours/all days) to 

coordinate implementation of 

cybersecurity practices, and manage of 

security incidents, and serve as a 

principal point of contact with TSA and 

CISA for cybersecurity-related matters; 

2. Report cybersecurity incidents to 

CISA; 

3. Develop a Cybersecurity Incident 

Response Plan to reduce the risk of 

operational disruption should their 

Information and/or operational 

technology systems be affected by a 

cybersecurity incident; and 

4. Conduct a cybersecurity 

vulnerability assessment using the form 

provided by TSA and submit the form 

to TSA. The vulnerability assessment 

will include an assessment of current 

practices and activities to address cyber 

risks to information and operational 

technology systems, identify gaps in 

current cybersecurity measures, and 

identify remediation measures and a 

plan for the owner/operator to 

implement the remediation measures to 

address any vulnerabilities and gaps. 

TSA issued IC–2021–01, ‘‘Enhancing 

Surface Transportation Cybersecurity’’, 

dated December 31, 2021, which applies 

to each passenger railroad, public 

transportation agency, or rail transit 

system owner/operator not specifically 

covered under Security Directive 1582– 

21–01. This circular provides the same 

four recommendations for enhancing 

cybersecurity practices listed above. 

While this document is guidance and 

does not impose any mandatory 

requirements, TSA strongly 

recommends the adoption of the 

measures set forth in the circular. 

vi. Planning 

FTA encourages applicants to engage 

the appropriate State departments of 

transportation, Regional Transportation 

Planning Organizations, or Metropolitan 

Planning Organizations in areas to be 

served by the project funds available 

under these programs. 

vii. Reporting 

Post-award reporting requirements 

include submission of Federal Financial 

Reports and Milestone Progress Reports 

in FTA’s electronic grants management 

system. An independent evaluation of 

the pilot program may occur at various 

points in the deployment process and at 

the end of the pilot project. In addition, 

FTA is responsible for producing an 

annual report to Congress evaluating the 

program, including an evaluation of the 

performance and outcome measures 

identified by the applicants. All 

applicants must develop a final report 

evaluating their performance measures 

and measuring the success or failure of 

their projects. FTA will provide 

successful applicants with technical 

assistance through the National Aging 

and Disability Transportation Center. 

The technical assistance will focus on 

the detailed development of project 

performance measures that are linked to 

project outcomes. FTA may request data 

and reports to support the independent 

evaluation and annual report. 

Applicants should also include any 

goals, targets, and indicators referenced 

in their application to the project in the 

Executive Summary of the TrAMS 

application. 

FTA is committed to making 

evidence-based decisions guided by the 

best available science and data. In 

accordance with the Foundations for 

Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 

2018 (Evidence Act), FTA may use 

information submitted in discretionary 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
78464 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices 

funding applications; information in 

FTA’s Transit Award Management 

System (TrAMS), including grant 

applications, Milestone Progress Reports 

(MPRs), Federal Financial Reports 

(FFRs); transit service, ridership and 

operational data submitted in FTA’s 

National Transit Database; 

documentation and results of FTA 

oversight reviews, including triennial 

and state management reviews; and 

other publicly available sources of data 

to build evidence to support policy, 

budget, operational, regulatory, and 

management processes and decisions 

affecting FTA’s grant programs. 

As part of completing the annual 

certifications and assurances required of 

FTA grant recipients, a successful 

applicant must report on the suspension 

or debarment status of itself and its 

principals. If the award recipient’s 

active grants, cooperative agreements, 

and procurement contracts from all 

Federal awarding agencies exceeds 

$10,000,000 for any period of time 

during the period of performance of an 

award made pursuant to this notice, the 

recipient must comply with the 

Recipient Integrity and Performance 

Matters reporting requirements 

described in Appendix XII to 2 CFR part 

200.
