Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

A. Authority 

The program is authorized under 49 

U.S.C. 5309(b)(3), as amended by 

section 3011 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient, Transportation 

Equity Act: A Legacy for Users 

(SAFETEA–LU), Pub. L. 109–059, 

August 10, 2005. 

The Secretary may make grants under this 

section to assist State and local governmental 

authorities in financing * * * 

(3) capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, 

and purchase buses and related equipment 

and to construct bus-related facilities, 

including programs of bus and bus-related 

projects for assistance to subrecipients that 

are public agencies, private companies 

engaged in public transportation, or private 

non-profit organizations. 

B. Background 

The ‘‘Revised Continuing 

Appropriations Resolution, 2007’’ (Pub. 

L. 110–05) enacted, February 15, 2007, 

made available $881,779,000 for the 

FTA Bus and Bus Facilities program in 

FY 2007. Of this amount, $8,817,790 is 

deducted for oversight and 

$459,670,089 is allocated to statutory 

provisions and project designations in 

SAFETEA–LU. The balance of 

$413,291,121 in FY 2007 funds is 

available to FTA for discretionary 

allocation. In addition, a balance of 

$24,893,251 of FY 2006 Bus and Bus 

Facilities program funding that was not 

allocated to specific projects in the FY 

2006 appropriations legislation is also 

available for discretionary award in FY 

2007, for a total of $438,184,372. 

The authorizing legislation allows for 

the Secretary of Transportation to make 

awards under this program at her 

discretion. FTA is issuing two separate 

Notices of Funding Availability for 

discretionary funding in the Bus 

Program in FY 2007. One notice, which 

appears in another part of today’s 

Federal Register, invites applications to 

support the Department’s Congestion 

Initiative, in conjunction with the 

solicitation previously issued by the 

Department for the Urban Partners 

program. This notice invites 

applications to support additional 

strategic investments in bus and bus 

facility projects that represent the 

highest and best use of the available 

discretionary funding and respond to 

specific priorities FTA has identified in 

this Notice. Applicants may respond to 

either or both notices, according to the 

instructions included in each notice. 

Separate applications are required for 

each notice. In the selection process, 

FTA will ensure that funding is not 

awarded to the same applicant for the 

same activities under both notices. 

C. Purpose 

Improving mobility and shaping 

America’s future by ensuring that the 

transportation system is accessible, 

integrated, and efficient, and offers 

flexibility of choices is a key strategic 

goal of the Department of 

Transportation. Bus and Bus Facilities 

projects will improve mobility for all 

individuals by providing financial 

assistance to help transit providers 

address planned capital improvements 

beyond what can be provided with 

existing resources such as Urbanized 

Area (49 U.S.C. 5307) and 

Nonurbanized Area (49 U.S.C. 5311) 

formula resources that are currently 

available to grantees. These competitive 

grants will support cost effective 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC74 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 56 / Friday, March 23, 2007 / Notices 13969 

strategic investments in buses and bus 

facility projects that represent the 

highest and best use of the available 

discretionary funding. 

II. Award Information 

Federal transit funds are available to 

State or local governmental authorities 

as recipients and other public 

transportation providers as 

subrecipients for up to 80 percent of the 

net project capital cost. The $438 

million available to FTA for 

discretionary allocation in FY 2007 will 

be allocated to projects submitted in 

response to this notice and the 

Congestion Relief notice published 

separately in this Federal Register. 

There are no minimum or maximum 

funding limits for applications under 

this notice; however, FTA intends to 

fund as many meritorious projects as 

possible. FTA may allocate less than the 

total amount requested in the 

application. Following announcement 

of the project selections, successful 

applicants will submit further 

documentation through FTA’s 

electronic grant management system, 

TEAM, and FTA will award funding in 

the form of grants. At the request of the 

original applicant, FTA will award 

grants to other eligible direct recipients 

whose projects were included in a 

consolidated application. While funds 

under the program have a three year 

period of availability for obligation, FTA 

intends to award grants for the selected 

projects before the end of FY 2007 or in 

the first quarter of FY 2008. Grants are 

subject to a 20 percent local match 

requirement and projects must comply 

with all requirements applicable to the 

Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities 

Program. 

FTA will give special consideration to 

applications that address the following 

priority areas that FTA has established 

for the FY 2007 discretionary Bus and 

Bus Facilities program: 

• Fleet replacement needs that cannot 

be met with formula funds. 

• Fleet expansion that allows 

significant service increase and/or 

improvements and/or operating 

efficiencies. 

• Facility construction or renovation 

to support increased service or 

introduction of clean fuels. 

• Strategic investments in rural areas 

where formula funding is inadequate. 

• Purchase of clean fuel vehicles. 

• Intermodal terminal projects that 

include intercity bus providers. 

• Gulf Coast Recovery—capital to 

support bus and bus facilities 

replacement and expansion related to 

the impacts of the 2005 Hurricanes. 

Eligibility is limited to those areas 

identified as eligible under Section 7025 

of Pub. L. 109–234 and FTA’s 

implementing guidance. 

III. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants 

Eligible applicants under this program 

are Designated Recipients under the 

Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula 

program and States. Proposals for 

funding of eligible projects in rural 

(nonurbanized) areas must be submitted 

as part of a consolidated State 

application. States and Designated 

Recipients may also submit 

consolidated proposals for projects in 

urbanized areas. 

Proposals may contain projects to be 

implemented by the Designated 

Recipient or its subrecipients. Eligible 

subrecipients include public agencies, 

private non-profit organizations, and 

private providers engaged in public 

transportation. Tribal rural transit 

projects must be included in a State 

proposal, but FTA may make a direct 

grant to a Federally recognized tribe for 

a project included in the proposal if 

selected. 

2. Eligible Expenses 

Section 5309 grants authority to the 

Secretary to make grants ‘‘to assist State 

and local governmental authorities in 

financing capital projects to replace, 

rehabilitate, and purchase buses and 

related equipment and to construct busrelated facilities, including programs of 

bus and bus-related projects for 

assistance to subrecipients that are 

public agencies, private companies 

engaged in public transportation, or 

private non-profit organizations.’’ 

Projects eligible for funding under the 

Bus program are capital projects such 

as: purchase and rehabilitation of buses 

and vans, bus related equipment 

(including Intelligent Transportation 

Systems (ITS) equipment, fare boxes, 

radios), construction and rehabilitation 

of bus related facilities (including 

administrative, maintenance, transfer, 

and intermodal facilities, including 

facilities consistent with FTA’s joint 

development policy.) 

Funds made available under this 

Notice cannot be used to fund operating 

expenses or the expanded capital 

eligibility activities such as preventive 

maintenance, security drills, or debt 

service reserve otherwise eligible under 

the Bus Program. Funds also cannot be 

used to reimburse grantees that have 

incurred prior expenses for the project 

absent evidence that FTA had issued a 

Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) for the 

project prior to the costs being incurred. 

There is no blanket pre-award authority 

for projects to be funded under this 

announcement prior to announcement 

in the Federal Register of the selected 

projects. 

3. Cost Sharing or Matching 

Costs will be shared at the following 

ratio: 80 percent FTA/20 percent local 

contribution. Match for the incremental 

cost of ADA or Clean Air Act 

improvements may be 90/10, consistent 

with the guidance for other FTA 

programs. FTA can waive local share for 

Gulf Coast projects under provisions of 

Section 7025. FTA will not approve 

deferred local share under this program. 

IV. Application and Submission 

Information 

1. Proposal Submission Process 

The eligible applicants, Designated 

Recipients and States, because they are 

already established FTA grantees, may 

apply through FTA’s TEAM–Web 

electronic grants management and 

award system. Any applicant 

information specified in section 2.A 

below that is not part of the recipient 

profile in TEAM–Web may be included 

as a narrative attachment. The material 

regarding Project Information specified 

in section 2.B below should be provided 

as a narrative attachment. To ensure that 

FTA identifies the application as a 

candidate for consideration in the 

competitive selection process, the 

application must be given the following 

temporary project name: BUSNOFA— 

(two letter State code)—(4 digits 

Recipient TEAM ID). Supplemental 

information may be submitted as a PDF 

attachment. Mail and fax submissions 

will not be accepted except for 

supplemental information that cannot 

be sent electronically. 

Submission through TEAM–Web does 

not guarantee that the application will 

be selected for funding. Only those 

projects selected for award through the 

competitive process will advance to 

formal submission for grant award, and 

revisions may be required prior to 

submission, for example reductions in 

the project budget. 

Alternatively, applicants may submit 

project proposals electronically through 

http://www.grants.gov. The Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

requires all Federal agencies to make 

applications for competitive grant 

programs available through Grants.Gov. 

A synopsis of this announcement will 

be posted in the FIND module of the 

government-wide electronic grants Web 

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

applicants will be able to apply through 

the APPLY module of that site.

V. Application Review Information 

1. Project Evaluation Criteria 

Projects will be evaluated according 

to the following criteria: 

A. Cost Effective Strategic Investment. 

i. Project represents a one-time or 

periodic capital investment that cannot 

reasonably be funded from formula 

allocations or State and/or local 

revenues. Applicants for the Gulf Coast 

recovery priority must also demonstrate 

that funds have not been made available 

for the investment by the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) or other supplemental 

resources. 

ii. Applicant did not receive sufficient 

funding for the proposed project in the 

SAFETEA–LU earmarks and formula 

funds are not available to support the 

project. 

iii. For vehicle replacement 

applications, average fleet age is at or 

close to 75 percent of useful life, and/ 

or vehicles to be replaced exceed their 

useful life based on mileage and/or age. 

iv. The project will have a significant 

impact on service delivery. 

B. Planning and prioritization at 

local/regional level. 

i. Project is consistent with the transit 

priorities identified in the Metropolitan 

Transportation plan or statewide long 

range plan and/or contingency/ 

illustrative projects in those plans. The 

project could not be included in the 

financially constrained Transportation 

Improvement Program (TIP)/State 

Transportation Improvement Program 

(STIP) due to lack of funding (if 

selected, project must be on TIP before 

grant award). 

ii. Local support is demonstrated by 

the availability of local match for this 

project and, if applicable, letters of 

support from project partners (e.g., 

intercity bus operators, in the case of an 

application for an intermodal facility). 

iii. Capital projects are consistent 

with service needs of the area based on 

local plans and projected population 

trends. For example, a proposal for fleet 

expansion shows evidence of the need 

for additional capacity. 

iv. In an area with more than one 

transit operator, the application 

demonstrates coordination with and 

support of other transit operators, or in 

rural areas, with human service 

transportation providers. 

C. The project clearly addresses one 

or more of the FTA FY 2007 Bus priority 

areas. 

i. Application clearly addresses one or 

more of the priority areas and 

demonstrates merit in that area, for 

example, investment for bus 

replacements is justified by age and 

condition of fleet. 

Note: If the project does not address one of 

the FTA priority areas, application 

demonstrates how the project addresses 

significant regional or local priorities. 

D. The project is ready to implement. 

i. At a minimum, any required 

environmental work has been initiated 

for construction projects requiring an 

Environmental Assessment (EA). Prior 

FTA environmental approval indicates a 

higher state of readiness. 

ii. Initial design of facilities projects is 

complete, and where applicable, 

implementation plans have been 

developed or are under development. 

iii. TIP/STIP can be readily amended 

(as evidenced by Metropolitan Planning 

Organization (MPO)/State 

endorsement). 

iv. Project can be obligated and 

implemented quickly if selected, for 

example, an existing bus procurement 

includes options the grantee could 

exercise. 

E. The applicant demonstrates the 

ability to carry out the proposed project 

successfully. 

Note: Applicants must have basic 

technical, legal, and financial capacity as a 

precondition of grant award. Since proposals 

are limited to existing FTA grantees, 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC74 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 56 / Friday, March 23, 2007 / Notices 13971 

applicants are assumed to have that basic 

capacity. This criterion refers to 

implementation of the particular project 

proposed. 

i. For larger capital projects, the 

applicant has the technical capacity to 

administer the project. 

ii. For fleet replacement and 

expansion, the acquisition is consistent 

with the system’s capital replacement 

plans and/or operational plans or plans 

for system improvements. 

iii. There are no outstanding legal, 

technical or financial issues with the 

grantee that would make this a high risk 

project. 

iv. Source of 20 percent local match 

is identified and is available for prompt 

project implementation if selected (no 

deferred local share will be allowed). 

2. Review and Selection Process 

Proposals will be screened and ranked 

by the appropriate FTA regional office 

(see Appendix A) and FTA headquarters 

staff. Meritorious projects will be 

considered for inclusion in a national 

list of selected projects that addresses 

the identified priorities and represents 

the highest and best use of the available 

funding. The Administrator shall 

determine the final selection and 

amount of funding for each project. 

Selected projects will be announced 

approximately eight weeks after the 

application deadline. FTA will publish 

the list of all selected projects and 

funding levels in the Federal Register. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices 

FTA will announce project selections 

in a Federal Register Notice and FTA 

regional offices will contact successful 

applicants. FTA will award grants for 

the selected projects to the Designated 

Recipient or State applicant, or to other 

eligible direct recipients, through the 

FTA electronic grants management and 

award system, TEAM, after receipt of a 

complete application in TEAM. These 

grants will be administered and 

managed by the FTA regional offices in 

accordance with the federal 

requirements of the Section 5309 

program. At the time the project 

selections are announced, FTA will 

extend pre-award authority for the 

selected projects. There is no blanket 

pre-award authority for these projects 

prior to announcement. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements 

A. Grant Requirements 

If selected, applicants will apply for a 

grant through TEAM and adhere to the 

customary FTA grant requirements of 

the Section 5309 Bus and Bus Facilities 

program, including those of FTA C 

9300.1A; C 5010.1C; and labor 

protections required under 49 U.S.C. 

5333(b). Discretionary grants greater 

than $1 million will go through 

Congressional Notification and release 

process. Technical assistance regarding 

these requirements is available from 

each FTA regional office. 

B. Planning 

Applicants are encouraged to notify 

the appropriate State Departments of 

Transportation and MPOs in areas likely 

to be served by the project funds made 

available under this program. Before 

grant award, the project must satisfy 

requirements for inclusion in the STIP 

and Metropolitan Transportation 

Improvement Program (TIP), where 

applicable. 

C. Standard Assurances 

FTA annually issues a set of standard 

Certifications and Assurances which 

each FTA grantee must sign, assuring 

that it will comply with all applicable 

Federal statutes, regulations, executive 

orders, FTA circulars, and other Federal 

administrative requirements in carrying 

out any project supported by the FTA 

grant. 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 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 

all relevant current Certifications and 

Assurances prior to receiving a grant 

under this announcement.
