Program 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Award. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

selection of projects to be funded under 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 appropriations for 

the Tribal Transit Program (TTP), a 

program authorized by the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
16406 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact the appropriate FTA regional 

Tribal Liaison (Appendix A) for 

application-specific information and 

issues. For general program information, 

contact Lorna R. Wilson, Office of 

Transit Programs, at (202) 366–2053, email: Lorna.Wilson@dot.gov. A TDD is 

available at 1–800–877–8339 (TDD/ 

FIRS). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tribal 

Transit Program (TTP) established by 

Section 3013 SAFETEA–LU, Public Law 

109–49 (August 15, 2005), under 49 

U.S.C. 5311(c) makes funds available to 

federally recognized Indian tribes or 

Alaska Native villages, groups, or 

communities as identified by the Bureau 

of Indian Affairs (BIA) in the U.S. 

Department of the Interior for public 

transportation capital projects, operating 

costs and planning activities that are 

eligible costs under the Nonurbanized 

Area Formula Program (Section 5311). 

A total of $7.92 million was made 

available for the program in FY 2006. A 

total of 95 applicants requested $22.1 

million for funding for new transit 

service, enhancement or expansion of 

existing transit services, or planning 

studies and operational planning. The 

applications also included an additional 

$41,767,031 in requests for future year 

funds. FTA made project selections 

through a competitive process based on 

each applicant’s responsiveness to the 

programs evaluation criteria outlined in 

FTA’s August 15, 2006, Federal Register 

Notice: Notice of Funding Availability 

and Solicitation for FY 2006 TTP (71 FR 

46959). FTA evaluated applications for 

planning grants on a pass/fail basis, 

whereas FTA evaluated applications for 

start up and existing transit services on 

a numeric score system. Because of the 

high demand for the funds available, 

many applicants selected for funding 

will receive less funding than they 

requested to enable FTA to support 

more of the most meritorious 

applications. However, all of the most 

highly qualified applicants received 

some funding. 

This notice only addresses FY 2006 

funding for projects. Tribes that sought 

funding for a multi-year project in 

response to the FY 2006 solicitation 

must submit a new application in 

response to the FY 2007 Notice of 

Funding Availability (NOFA) in order to 

be considered for FY 2007 funding. 

The selected projects, providing $7.92 

million to 63 tribes, breaks down as 

follows: $834,965 for transit planning 

studies and/or operational planning, 

$3,168,861 million for startup projects 

for new transit service, and $3,916,354 

for enhancements or expansion of 

exiting transit services. Each of the 63 

awardees, as well as the 32 applicants 

who were not selected for funding, will 

receive a letter explaining the funding 

decision. The successful applicants for 

FY 2006 are listed below. 

Tribes that were not selected for the 

FY 2006 TTP will be invited to 

participate in FTA sponsored Tribal 

Technical Assistance Program 

workshops and events. One goal of the 

program is to better equip a tribe to 

compete for future year funding. This 

technical assistance will be open to all 

tribes. 

Following publication of this notice, 

FTA regional offices will conduct a new 

grantee orientation. FTA’s regional 

tribal liaison will contact each applicant 

selected for funding to discuss 

scheduling and event logistics.
