requirements is available from each FTA 

regional office. 

c. Buy America 

The FTA requires that all capital 

procurements meet FTA’s Buy America 

requirements, which require that all 

iron, steel, or manufactured products be 

produced in the U.S. These 

requirements help create and protect 

manufacturing jobs in the U.S. The Bus 

Infrastructure Program will have a 

significant economic impact toward 

meeting the objectives of the Buy 

America law. The FAST Act amended 

the Buy America requirements to 

provide for a phased increase in the 

domestic content for rolling stock. For 

FY 2018 and FY 2019, the cost of 

components and subcomponents 

produced in the United States must be 

more than 65 percent of the cost of all 

components. For FY 2020 and beyond, 

the cost of components and 

subcomponents produced in the United 

States must be more than 70 percent of 

the cost of all components. There is no 

change to the requirement that final 

assembly of rolling stock must occur in 

the United States. FTA issued final 

guidance on the implementation of the 

phased increase in domestic content on 

September 1, 2016. Any proposal that 

will require a waiver must identify the 

items for which a waiver will be sought 

in the application. 

d. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

FTA requires that its recipients 

receiving planning, capital and/or 

operating assistance that will award 

prime contracts exceeding $250,000 in 

FTA funds in a Federal fiscal year 

comply with the Disadvantaged 

Business Enterprise (DBE) program 

regulations at 49 CFR part 26. 

Applicants should expect to include any 

funds awarded, excluding those to be 

used for vehicle procurements, in 

setting their overall DBE goal. Note, 

however, that projects including vehicle 

procurements remain subject to the DBE 

program regulations. The rule requires 

that, prior to bidding on any FTAassisted vehicle procurement, entities 

that manufacture vehicles, perform postproduction alterations or retrofitting 

must submit a DBE Program plan and 

goal methodology to FTA. Further, to 

the extent that a vehicle remanufacturer 

is responding to a solicitation for new 

or remanufactured vehicles with a 

vehicle to which the remanufacturer has 

provided post-production alterations or 

retro-fitting (e.g., replacing major 

components such as engine to provide 

a ‘‘like new’’ vehicle), the vehicle 

remanufacturer is considered a transit 

vehicle manufacturer and must also 

comply with the DBE regulations. 

FTA will then issue a transit vehicle 

manufacturer (TVM) concurrence/ 

certification letter. Grant recipients 

must verify each entity’s compliance 

with these requirements before 

accepting its bid. A list of compliant, 

certified TVMs is posted on FTA’s web 

page at https://www.fta.dot.gov/ 

regulations-and-guidance/civil-rightsada/eligible-tvms-list. Please note, that 

this list is nonexclusive and recipients 

must contact FTA before accepting bids 

from entities not listed on this webposting. Recipients may also establish 

project specific DBE goals for vehicle 

procurements. The FTA will provide 

additional guidance as grants are 

awarded. For more information on DBE 

requirements, please contact Janelle 

Hinton, Office of Civil Rights, 202–366– 

9259, email: janelle.hinton@dot.gov. 

e. Planning 

FTA encourages proposers 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. Selected 

projects must be incorporated into the 

long-range plans and transportation 

improvement programs of states and 

metropolitan areas before they are 

eligible for FTA funding. 

f. Standard Assurances 

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. 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 

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. 

g. Reporting 

Post-award reporting requirements 

include the electronic submission of 

Federal Financial Reports and Milestone 

Progress Reports in FTA’s electronic 

grants management system. 

H. Technical Assistance and Other 

Program Information 

This program is not subject to 

Executive Order 12372, 

‘‘Intergovernmental Review of Federal 

Programs.’’ FTA will consider 

applications for funding only from 

eligible recipients for eligible projects 

listed in Section C. Complete 

applications must be submitted through 

GRANTS.GOV by 11:59 p.m. eastern 

time on August 6, 2018. For assistance
