TTP funds can only be expended for projects and activities that are identified on an FHWA
approved Transportation Improvement Program per 23 U.S.C. 202(b)(4)(B). If the funds are to be
expended on a facility, that facility must be included in the NTTFI. A listing of eligible TTP
activities can be found at 25 CFR 170.111.

TTP Funding Formula

The FAST Act carried over the existing funding formula that was established in MAP-21. Found
at 23 U.S.C. 202(b), the statute states that in FY 2017, after incorporating the set asides authorized
under other subsections and subparagraphs (identified below), the Secretary shall distribute the
remaining TTP funding among Indian Tribes as follows:

- 20 percent of the remaining funding using the FY 2011 total relative need distribution factor
(RNDF) and population adjustment factor (PAF) percentages (of the funding formula that
was in place at that time'); and

- the “balance” using the MAP-21 TTP funding formula.

The MAP-21 TTP funding formula contains three factors:
- Eligible Road Mileage (27 percent of the “balance” identified above)

For the purposes of this calculation, and per 23 U.S.C. 202(b)(3)(B), the eligible road
mileage is computed as the sum of the BIA or Tribally owned roads included in the FY 2012
NTTFI as well as any other road that was included in the BIA system inventory prior to
October 1, 2004. A total of 60,446 miles were used for this factor. Each Tribe’s ratio of total

' The funding formula that was in place in FY2011 was developed through negotiated rulemaking and contained in 25
CER part 170, which was published on July 19, 2004. The RNDF formula contained three factors: Cost to construct,
Vehicle Miles Traveled, and Population. The PAF provided additional tribal share funding at one of five differing
amounts based on the same official tribal population as used in the current formula, The RNDF and PAF, when added
together became the “Tribal share” and each Tribe’s share, when compared to the national total became its “Tribal
share percentage,”

Contracting Mechanisms

The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA- LU) Public Law 109-59 (2005), for the first time allowed eligible Tribes the option of
working directly with the FHWA in the administration of their IRR program. This option has
continued through subsequent FHWA Authorizations. In FY 2017, 131 Tribes operated their TTP
through Program Agreements directly with FHWA. Under these FHWA Program Agreements, the
Tribes receive their funding in advance directly from FHWA and are responsible for managing their
TTP. FHWA is responsible for the stewardship and oversight of the provided funds and ensures
that the program is carried out in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

Four additional options are available for Tribes which opt to work directly with the BIA. For these
options, the TTP funds are initially transferred from FHWA to BIA for further distribution to the
Tribes. The options include:

- Direct Service Agreements — Under these agreements the BIA carries out the TTP on behalf
of and in consultation with a Tribe. Therefore, the BIA is responsible for all aspects of the
TTP including delivery, stewardship, and oversight. In FY 2017, 21 Tribes had Direct
Service Agreements with the BIA for their TTP;

FHW: 1203-004


Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) or to carry out other planning activities such as inventory
updates or project specific planning. These funds were made available to each Tribe by
adding 2 percent to their calculated Tribal share. In FY 2017, this set aside totaled
$9,500,000 in authority. A list of the projects and activities that were undertaken by the
Tribes in FY 2017 using these funds can be found in Attachment B;

- Tribal Transportation Facility Bridges - Three percent of the funds made available under
the FY 2017 TTP were set aside for the purposes of carrying out this program. Tribes applied
for these funds in accordance with 23 CFR part 661 to carry out any planning, design,
engineering, preconstruction, construction, and inspection of any bridge project located on
a route included in the NTTFI. In FY 2017, this set aside totaled $14,250,000 in authority.
A list of the projects and activities that were undertaken by the Tribes in FY 2017 using
these funds can be found in Attachment D;

eligible road mileage as compared to the total eligible road mileage of all Tribes is used in
this Tribal share calculation. A Tribe-by-Tribe breakdown of their eligible mileage for FY
2017 can be found on the FHWA TTP Website at https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/ttp/
under the heading of Tribal Shares and Planning Funds under the FAST Act.

- Tribal Population (39 percent of the “balance” identified above)

This calculation utilizes the most recent data on American Indian and Alaska Native
population within each Indian Tribe’s American Indian/Alaska Native Reservation or
Statistical Area, as computed under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.). For FY 2017, this totaled 1,603,275.
Again, each Tribe’s ratio of their total population as compared to the total population of all
American Indians and Alaskan Natives is used in this Tribal share calculation.

- Historic Tribal Shares (34 percent of the “balance” identified above)

The Tribal share distribution for this factor is initially divided equally among each of the 12
BIA Regions. Then within each Region, each Tribe’s share is determined by calculating the
ratio that the average total relative need distribution factors and population adjustment
factors from fiscal years 2005 through 2011 calculated for that Tribe bears to the average
total of relative need distribution factors and population adjustment factors for fiscal years
2005 through 2011 calculated for all the Tribes within that region.

In FY 2017, $310,500,000 was authorized for the TTP funding formula. Of this amount,
$69,339,516 (20 percent) was distributed using the FY 2011 RNDF and PAF percentages
described above, while $241,160,484 was distributed using the MAP-21 TTP funding
formula.

The set asides that are incorporated into the TTP funding formula include:

- Tribal supplemental funding — Under the statutory TTP funding formula, the dollar amount
for this set aside is equal to $82,500,000 plus 12.5 percent of the amount made available for
the TTP in excess of $275,000,000. For FY 2017, this totaled $107,500,000 in authority.
The intent of this set aside is to offset any negative impacts to each Tribe’s funding levels
(from the MAP-21 formula versus the previously used IRR funding formula) by providing
extra funding to assure that, if possible, each federally recognized Tribe receives at least the
same level of funding that it did in FY 2011. The total funding for this set aside is initially
designated at the 12 BIA regional level based on a ratio of their regional Tribes’ total of
Tribal shares as compared to the total nationwide Tribal shares for that year. The funds are
then made available to the Tribes within each region that were negatively impacted by the
new formula so that their Tribal share total is at least the same as they received in FY 2011.
Any remaining funds are then made available to all the Tribes within that tegion based on
the size of their Tribal shares. If the supplemental funding made available to a region is not
adequate to achieve this, then those Tribes that were negatively impacted each receive an
amount that equals the same percentage of their FY 2011 amount.

- Planning — Two percent of the funds made available under the FY 2017 TTP were set aside
for Tribes to carry out transportation planning activities, such as the development of a Long-

undertaken by the Tribes in FY 2017 using these funds can be found in Attachments B and
E. The FY 2017 Safety set aside funds will be distributed to the Tribes in FY 2018.

FY 2017 TTP Fund Distribution

For FY 2017, the amounts authorized and made available for each of these categories are shown on
the table below. The main Control Panel is based solely on the FY 2017 authorized levels of TTP
funding. The small table to the right identifies the actual dollars or limitation made available to the
funding formula and set asides in FY 2017 after the application of obligation limitation. For
example, although the TTP Program was authorized at $475,000,000 in FY 2017, the actual funding
made available was only $440,800,000. Because of the language of the statute, the TTP funding
formula must initially be run and the Tribal shares determined based on the authorized levels. The
Tribal shares are then adjusted to meet the dollars actually made available. The FY 2017 calculated
Tribal shares as well as the breakdown of the 2-percent Planning funds for each of the 567 federally
recognized Tribes can be found on the FHWA Tribal Transportation Program Website at
https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/ttp/ under the heading of Tribal Shares and Planning Funds under
the FAST Act. The amounts reported by each Tribe for FY 2017 can be found in Attachment A.

Prepared by: Timothy G. Hess
Associate Administrator for Office of Federal Lands Highway

X69472

Subject: Transmittal of the Tribal Transportation Program Fiscal Year 2017 Data Report

ACTION REQUIRED

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requests that the Secretary review and approve
the attached Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Data Report for the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) to
be posted on FHWA’s Web site.! This report was developed in accordance with Section 1117(a)
of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (23 U.S.C. 201(c)(6)(c)).

SUMMARY

Section 1117(a) of the FAST Act requires all recipients of TTP funds, including Tribes, FHWA,
and the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), to identify the names
of the projects and activities carried out under the TTP during each fiscal year, provide their
status, and estimate the number of jobs created and retained by the projects and activities. The
report contains an Executive Summary as well as five attachments. The attachments include
overall information of funding and jobs, as well as more specific information on the projects or
activities that were carried out with the TTP funding in FY 2017. A copy of this report is also
being provided to the Secretary of the Interior through the BIA, which co-administers the TTP
with FHWA.

BACKGROUND

The TTP provides funding to 567 federally-recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages
(Tribes) to help them address the transportation needs of their communities. The Tribes use
these funds for eligible transportation activities such as planning, design, and construction of
transportation facilities, as well as addressing maintenance and transportation safety issues.

Statutory Report Language

The FAST Act included language in 23 U.S.C. 201(c)(6)(C) that called for the collection of data on
the obligation and expenditure of TTP funds and the development of an annual report for the
Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior. Specifically, the language states:

Tribal data collection — In addition to the data to be collected under subparagraph (A), not later
than 90 days after the last day of each FY, any entity carrying out a project under the tribal
transportation program under section 202 shall submit to the Secretary and the Secretary of the
Interior, based on obligations and expenditures under the tribal transportation program during
the preceding fiscal year, the following data:

(i) The names of projects and activities carried out by the
entity under the Tribal transportation program during
the preceding fiscal year;

(ii) A description of the projects and activities identified
under clause (i);

(iii) The current status of the projects and activities
identified under clause (i); and

(iv) An estimate of the number of jobs created and the
number of jobs retained by the projects and activities
identified under clause (i).

This Report to the Secretary and the Secretary of the Interior
contains the above information/data for FY 2017.

In response to this statutory requirement, FHWA and BIA
worked closely with several Tribes to develop the TTP Online
Reporting Tool (PORT) for gathering the required data. PORT
utilizes the MAX Survey platform on MAX.gov which is
prepopulated with existing data so as to minimize the data entry
work required of the Tribes. The Joint Agency Report System
(JARS) is a Microsoft Access database used to collate and - ,
present the collected data into automated reports. Zia Boulevard, Pucblo of Zia, NM

-  Self-Determination Contracts — These contracts are developed between the BIA and a Tribe
in accordance with the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA),
Pub. L, 93-638. Generally, each contract is for a specific project or activity, so there could
be several contracts developed over a l-year period to account for the amount of TTP
funding being made available to the Tribe. The Tribe is provided TTP funding on a contract-
by-contract basis from the BIA and is responsible for carrying out the work identified. The
BIA is responsible for the stewardship and oversight of the provided funds and ensures that
the program is carried out in accordance with the contract and statutory and regulatory
requirements. In FY 2017, 205 Tribes carried out their TTP under Self-Determination
Contracts;

- _ Self-Governance Compacts — Compacts are developed between the Tribe and the BIA’s
Office of Self-Governance. Under a self-governance compact, the Tribe receives its funding
in advance from the BIA and manages its TTP similar to the FHWA Program Agreements.
However, these compacts include certain protections and other options afforded them in
accordance with the ISDEAA. The BIA is responsible for the stewardship and oversight of
the provided funds and ensures that the program is carried out in accordance with the
contract and statutory and regulatory requirements. In FY 2017, 23 Tribes carried out their
TTP under Self-Governance Compacts; and

- BIA Government to Government (G2G) Agreements — These Agreements are “sister”
agreements of the FHWA Program Agreements. First established in July 2011, a Tribe
operating under these Agreements receives its funding in advance from the BIA and is
responsible for managing its TTP. The BIA is responsible for the stewardship and oversight
of the provided funds and ensures that the program is carried out in accordance with
statutory and regulatory requirements. In FY 2017, 187 Tribes carried out their TTP under
G2G Agreements.

General Program Overview

The Tribal Transportation Program (TTP), established in 2012 under the Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), provides funding for addressing the transportation
needs of the 567 federally recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (Tribes). The Tribes
can use these funds for eligible transportation activities such as planning, design, construction, and
road and bridge maintenance. The program is jointly administered by the Federal Highway
Administration’s Office of Federal Lands Highway (FHWA) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) in accordance with a memorandum of understanding. Prior to MAP-21, the TTP was known
as the Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) Program, which was established by the Surface
Transportation Assistance Act of 1982.

Under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the TTP was authorized at a
funded level of $475 million in FY 2017. Except for a 5-percent set-aside for the BIA and FHWA
to carry out stewardship and oversight of the program, all other TTP funding is provided to Tribes
either as Tribal shares or as special set-aside funding to address transportation planning, as well as
safety and bridge projects and activities. The Tribal shares are determined via a statutory funding
formula that can be found at Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.), section 202(b). The TTP is an
important resource of a Tribe’s overall infrastructure investment strategy. The regulations for
carrying out the TTP can be found at 25 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 170.

Ivar’s Bridge Replacement Project (Before and After Photos), Fort Yukon, AK

Any facility that provides access to or is located within Tribal lands is eligible to be included in the
National Tribal Transportation Facility Inventory (NTTFI). These roads, trails, bridges, and other
facilities provide safe and adequate transportation for public access to, within, and through Indian
reservations and native communities for Native Americans, visitors, recreational users, resource
users, and others, while contributing to the health and safety and economic development of Native
American communities. There are currently more than 164,000 miles of roads on the NTTFI.
Approximately 31,400 miles are identified as being BIA routes and another 28,000 miles as Tribal
routes. The remaining mileage is owned by others including states, counties, townships, boroughs,

or other federal agencies. The table below identifies the mileage and ownership of the roads in the
FY 2017 NTTFI.

FY 2017 REPORTS AND OBSERVATIONS

General

The data entry in PORT was broken into the headings of Construction Projects and Non-
Construction Activities. The Construction Project listings include all construction-related projects
and activities including projects funded through the safety and bridge set-aside funding. Data for
the Non-Construction Activities was further reported in the areas of:

- Safety activities;

- Transit;

- Administration;

- Maintenance;

- Transportation Planning; and

- Other non-construction activities.

FHWA and BIA also provided data on the use of the PM&O funds.

As previously discussed and as shown on the Control Panel on page 7, of the $475,000,000 in
authority that was made available to the TTP in FY 2017, $440,800,000 in limitation or funding
was actually made available after the application of a 7.2-percent obligation limitation. Of this
amount, $8,816,000 was designated for each of the Planning and Safety set asides, $13,224,000
was designated for the Bridge Program and $22,040,000 for the PM&O funds. The net result was
$387,907,000 of FY 2017 TTP funding made available to the Tribes as formula Tribal shares.

Data Collection

Over 99 percent of the Tribes that received TTP funds during FY 2017 entered data into the PORT
System. The following Tribe did not submit any data for the FY 2017 report:

- Village of Kaltag

In addition, the following Tribes only submitted partial data for the FY 2017 report (although
continuous outreach and support were provided):

- Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation-California & Arizona~ Submitted only
the Financial report; and
- Native Village of Ouzinkie— Submitted only the Financial report,

BIA and FHWA provided data on the receipt and use of the PM&O funds.
FY 2017 Results

Several reports were generated from the collected data and are available for review in the various
Chapter reports that follow or on the TTP website. These include:

- Chapter 1: National Financial Summary Report

FHWA-181203-004


14

Data was also collected on the Program Management and Oversight (PM&O) funds that were made
available to FHWA and the BIA through the 5-percent formula set-aside. The PM&O funds are
used to carry out stewardship and oversight of the TTP as well as other TTP activities that are
deemed as inherently Federal in accordance with 25 CFR part 170. For example, in FY 2017, these
funds were used to pay for:

- the payroll and travel of the FHWA and BIA TTP staff;
- support of the U.S. Department of Transportation self-governance activity;
- office space and supplies;
- Information Technology support and equipment;
- maintenance of the NTTFI; and
- other special TTP-specific and required studies, technical assistance and activities such as:
o Tribal Technical Assistance Program;
© carrying out Tribal program reviews;
© outreach on Tribal government recreation travel and tourism activities; and
© conducting bridge inspections on the Tribal and BIA bridges across the country.

A complete listing of these activities can be found in the Appendix to Subpart E of 25 CFR part
170. As previously identified, $22,040,000 was made available to FHWA and BIA in FY 2017 to
carry out the PM&O activities.

a contract but the work has not yet been started or completed.
