ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

request to release and authorize the sale 

of 19.098 acres of airport property 

located at the Charleston International 

Airport, Charleston, South Carolina, and 

invites public comment on this notice. 

The airport property is planned to be 

sold by the Charleston County Aviation 

Authority (CCAA) for the proposed use 

of aircraft manufacturing. Currently, 

ownership of the property provides for 

protection of FAR Part 77 surfaces and 

compatible land use which would 

continue to be protected with deed 

restrictions required in the transfer of 

land ownership. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 10, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on this 

application may be mailed or delivered 

to the FAA at the following address: 

Aimee McCormick, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Atlanta Airports 

District Office, 1701 Columbia Ave., Ste. 

220, College Park, GA 30337. 

In addition, one copy of any 

comments submitted to the FAA must 

be mailed or delivered to: Hernan Pena, 

Deputy Director, Charleston County 

Aviation Authority, 5500 International 

Blvd., #101, North Charleston, SC

to release property may be reviewed, by 

appointment, in person at this same 

location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 9, 2017, CCAA requested the 

FAA to release 19.089 acres of airport 

property. The request will allow CCAA 

to transfer ownership to the South 

Carolina Department of Commerce for 

the use of aircraft manufacturing. In 

return, the Department of Commerce 

will transfer 33.715 acres of property to 

CCAA. The fair market value of the two 

properties involved are of equal value. 

The use of the 33.715 acres will allow 

CCAA to construct a public parking 

facility. The FAA may approve the 

request, in whole or in part, no sooner 

than thirty days after the publication of 

this notice. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above under FOR

appointment and request, inspect the 

application, notice and other documents 

determined by the FAA to be related to 

the application in person at the

A. Program Description 

The Tribal Transit Program is 

authorized by Federal Transit law 49 

U.S.C. 5311(c)(1)(A), as amended by the 

Fixing America’s Surface Transportation 

(FAST) Act, Public Law 114–94 

(December 4, 2015), contingent on full 

appropriations. The FAST Act increased 

the Tribal Transit formula program from 

$25 million to $30 million and 

continued the $5 million competitive 

program authorized under 49 U.S.C. 

5311(c)(1). The program authorizes 

grants ‘‘under such terms and 

conditions as may be established by the 

Secretary’’ to Indian tribes for any 

purpose eligible under FTA’s Formula 

Grants for Rural Areas Program, 49 

U.S.C. 5311. Tribes may apply for this 

funding directly. 

The primary purpose of these 

competitively selected grants is to 

support planning, capital, and, in 

limited circumstances, operating 

assistance for tribal public transit 

services. Funds distributed to Indian 

tribes under the TTP should NOT 

replace or reduce funds that Indian 

tribes receive from States through FTA’s 

Formula Grants for Rural Areas 

Program. Specific project eligibility 

under this competitive allocation is 

described in Section C of this notice. 

B. Federal Award Information 

Five million dollars is authorized for 

the Tribal Transit competitive allocation 

in FY 2018 to projects selected pursuant 

to the process described in the following 

sections. Federal awards under this 

competitive program will be in the form 

of grants. Additionally, there is a 

$25,000 cap on planning grant awards, 

and FTA has the discretion to cap 

capital and operating awards. 

C. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants 

Eligible applicants include federally 

recognized Indian tribes or Alaska 

Native villages, groups, or communities 

as identified by the U.S. Department of 

the Interior (DOI) Bureau of Indian 

Affairs (BIA). As evidence of Federal 

recognition, an Indian tribe may submit 

a copy of the most up-to-date Federal 

Register notice published by BIA: 

Entities Recognized and Eligible to 

Receive Service from the United States 

Bureau of Indian Affairs. To be an 

eligible recipient, an Indian tribe must 

have the requisite legal, financial and 

technical capabilities to receive and 

administer Federal funds under this 

program. Additionally, applicants must 

be located and provide service in a rural 

area with a population of 50,000 or less. 

A service area can include some 

portions of urban areas, as long as the 

tribal transit service begins in and 

serves rural areas. An applicant must be 

registered in the System for Award 

Management (SAM) database and 

maintain an active SAM registration 

with current information at all times 

during which it has an active Federal 

award or an application or plan under 

consideration by FTA. 

2. Cost Sharing or Matching 

There is a 90 percent Federal share for 

projects selected under the TTP 

competitive program, unless the Indian 

tribe can demonstrate a financial 

hardship in its application. FTA is 

interested in the Indian tribe’s financial 

commitment to the proposed project, 

thus the proposal should include a 

description of the Indian tribe’s 

financial commitment. Tribes may use 

any eligible local match under 

Chapter 53.
