agencies concurred with this 

conclusion, and they will cooperate in 

preparing the SEIS. 

The scope of the SEIS is limited to the 

social, economic, and environmental 

effects of constructing and operating a 

bridge instead of a snowshed at MP 

58.15 to meet avalanche protection and 

control needs in an area where I–90 

currently experiences road closures in 

winter for avalanche control. Since 

issues and concerns related to the I–90 

improvements are well known from the 

extensive public involvement 

previously conducted as part of the 

original Draft and Final EIS, formal 

scoping will not be conducted. 

The proposed design change and 

associated SEIS will be incorporated 

into the ongoing series of 

communications and meetings that keep 

agencies, tribes, organizations, and 

individuals informed on the I–90 

improvements. Written and verbal 

comments on the Draft SEIS will be 

taken by mail, on the project Web site, 

and at hearings. Public notice will be 

given on the time and place of the future 

open houses. 

Questions concerning this proposed 

design change and the SEIS should be 

directed to both Liana Liu (FHWA) and 

Jason Smith (WSDOT) at the addresses 

or phone numbers provided above.

I. Overview of FTA Discretionary 

Program 

A. Authority 

Section 5339(a) of Title 49, United 

States Code authorizes the Secretary to 

make awards for FTA’s Alternatives 

Analysis program and states: 

The Secretary may award grants to States, 

authorities of the States, metropolitan 

planning organizations, and local 

governmental authorities to develop 

alternatives analyses as defined by section 

5309(a)(1). 

Section 5309(a)(1) defines 

‘‘alternatives analysis’’ as: 

A study conducted as part of the 

transportation planning process required 

under sections 5303 and 5304, which 

includes— 

(A) An assessment of a wide range of 

public transportation alternatives designed to 

address a transportation problem in a 

corridor or subarea; 

(B) Sufficient information to enable the 

Secretary to make the findings of project 

justification and local financial commitment 

required under this section; 

(C) The selection of a locally preferred 

alternative; and 

(D) The adoption of the locally preferred 

alternative as part of the long-range 

transportation plan required under section 

5303. 

B. Policy Priorities 

Maintaining transit assets in a state of 

good repair, fostering livable 

communities and promoting sustainable 

development, and improving our 

Nation’s environment through 

investments in clean energy resources, 

have been key strategic goals of the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

and FTA. Studies funded as a result of 

this notice will further the Department’s 

livability efforts by supporting the study 

of tangible livability improvements 

within the existing Alternatives 

Analysis program while demonstrating 

the feasibility and value of such 

improvements. 

Livable Communities and Sustainable 

Development 

FTA has long fostered livable 

communities and sustainable 

development through its various transit 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
14588 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 48 / Monday, March 12, 2012 / Notices 

programs and activities. Public 

transportation supports the 

development of communities, providing 

effective and reliable transportation 

options that increase access to jobs, 

recreation, health and social services, 

entertainment, educational 

opportunities, and other activities of 

daily life, while also improving mobility 

within and among these communities. 

Through various initiatives and 

legislative changes over the last fifteen 

years, FTA has allowed and encouraged 

projects that help integrate transit into 

a community through neighborhood 

improvements and enhancements to 

transportation facilities or services; 

make improvements to areas adjacent to 

public transit facilities that may 

facilitate mobility needs of transit users; 

or support other infrastructure 

investments that enhance the use of 

transit and other transportation options 

for the community. 

On June 16, 2009, U.S. DOT Secretary 

Ray LaHood, U.S. Department of 

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 

Secretary Shaun Donovan, and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

Administrator Lisa Jackson announced a 

new partnership to help American 

families in all communities—rural, 

suburban and urban—gain better access 

to affordable housing, more 

transportation options, and lower 

transportation costs. DOT, HUD, and 

EPA created this high-level interagency 

partnership to better coordinate federal 

transportation, environmental 

protection, and housing investments. 

The Alternatives Analysis program 

will invest in studies that fulfill the 

following six livability principles that 

serve as the foundation for the DOT– 

HUD–EPA Partnership for Sustainable 

Communities: 

• Provide more transportation 

choices: Develop safe, reliable, and 

economical transportation choices to 

decrease household transportation costs, 

reduce our nation’s dependence on 

foreign oil, improve air quality, reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions and promote 

public health. 

• Promote equitable, affordable 

housing: Expand location- and energyefficient housing choices for people of 

all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities 

to increase mobility and lower the 

combined cost of housing and 

transportation. 

• Enhance economic competitiveness: 

Improve economic competitiveness 

through reliable and timely access to 

employment centers, educational 

opportunities, services and other basic 

needs by workers as well as expanded 

business access to markets. 

• Support existing communities: 

Target Federal funding toward existing 

communities—through such strategies 

as transit-oriented, mixed-use 

development and land recycling— to 

increase community revitalization, 

improve the efficiency of public works 

investments, and safeguard rural 

landscapes. 

• Coordinate policies and leverage 

investment: Align policies and funding 

to remove barriers to collaboration, 

leverage funding and increase the 

accountability and effectiveness of all 

levels of government to plan for future 

growth, including making smart energy 

choices such as locally generated 

renewable energy. 

• Value communities and 

neighborhoods: Enhance the unique 

characteristics of all communities by 

investing in healthy, safe and walkable 

neighborhoods—rural, urban or 

suburban. 

II. Discretionary Program Information 

A. Description and Purpose 

As defined in 49 U.S.C. 5309(a)(1), an 

alternatives analysis is a study 

conducted as part of the transportation 

planning process required under 

Sections 5303 and 5304 which includes: 

(1) An assessment of a wide range of 

public transportation alternatives 

designed to address a transportation 

problem in a corridor or subarea; (2) the 

development of sufficient information to 

enable the Secretary to make the 

findings of project justification and local 

financial commitment required under 

Section 5309; (3) the selection of a 

locally preferred alternative; and (4) the 

adoption of the locally preferred 

alternative as part of the long-range 

transportation plan required under 

Section 5303. 

The funds available through this 

notice includes assistance to potential 

sponsors of New Starts and Small Starts 

projects in the evaluation of all 

reasonable transportation alternatives 

and general alignment options to 

address transportation needs in a 

defined travel corridor. Information 

about FTA’s New Starts and Small 

Starts program can be found on FTA’s 

web site at http://fta.dot.gov/12347_

5221.html. FTA will invest in studies 

that are performed in accordance with 

the mission of the Alternatives Analysis 

program and support the six livability 

principles that serve as the foundation 

for the DOT–HUD–EPA Partnership for 

Sustainable Communities. 

FTA advises potential proposers that 

current provisions of the New Starts and 

Small Starts program are subject to 

change. On January 25, 2012, FTA 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposes 

changes in the measurement of the 

existing statutory New Starts and Small 

Starts project evaluation criteria. 

Additionally, FTA’s current program 

authorizations expire on March 31, 

2012, and any new authorizing 

legislation may prescribe modifications 

to FTA’s programs. However, the 

effective dates of a final rule and any 

new authorizing legislation are 

uncertain, and the contents of either are 

subject to change from current 

proposals. Moreover, changes to the 

Federal process will not remove the 

need for sponsors of major transit 

capital projects to assess costs and 

benefits of alternative project modes and 

alignments. FTA therefore encourages 

potential sponsors of New Starts and 

Small Starts projects to maintain their 

focus on conducting a technically sound 

analysis of alternatives that evaluate 

solutions to transportation problems 

and facilitate informed decision-making. 

B. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Proposers 

Section 5339 authorizes FTA to award 

grants to States, authorities of the States, 

metropolitan planning organizations, 

and local governmental authorities to 

develop alternatives analyses as defined 

by Section 5309(a)(1). 

2. Eligible Proposals and Expenses 

FTA will award available 

discretionary funds to eligible proposers 

to conduct a new alternatives analysis 

or to support additional technical tasks 

in an on-going alternatives analysis that 

will improve and expand the 

information available to decisionmakers considering major transit 

improvements. FTA will consider 

proposals for all areas of technical work 

that can better develop information 

about the costs and benefits of potential 

major transit improvements. These 

funds are not available for systems 

planning work that leads to the 

selection of a particular corridor for 

conducting an alternatives analysis, or 

for work performed after the Locally 

Preferred Alternative (LPA) has been 

selected. There is no blanket pre-award 

authority for studies to be funded under 

this notice before FTA’s public 

announcement of the selections. 

3. Cost Sharing or Matching 

The total federal share (Section 5339 

funds plus other federal funds) of the 

cost of studies or technical tasks 

selected for funding may not exceed 80 

percent. Section 5339 requests may 

range between $50,000 and $2 million. 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 48 / Monday, March 12, 2012 / Notices 14589 

Funds remain available for three fiscal 

years, including the fiscal year in which 

the award is made. FTA will not 

approve deferred local share requests 

under this program. 

C. Evaluation Criteria, Review, and 

Selection 

1. Evaluation Criteria 

The submitted proposals will be 

evaluated according to the following 

criteria. Each proposer is encouraged to 

demonstrate the responsiveness of their 

proposal to any and all of the selection 

criteria with the most relevant 

information that the proposer can 

provide, regardless of whether such 

information has been specifically 

requested, or identified, in this notice. 

FTA will assess the extent to which the 

proposal addresses each of the three 

criteria below. 

a. Demonstrated Need 

Proposers must demonstrate a need 

for these funds by identifying a 

transportation problem in the study 

corridor that warrants an evaluation of 

major transit improvements, including 

alternatives that may be suitable for 

New Starts or Small Starts funding. For 

both new and ongoing alternatives 

analyses, higher scores will be assigned 

to studies in areas that have been 

prioritized in the metropolitan planning 

process as having a significant 

transportation need, particularly 

through inclusion of conceptual 

corridor improvements in fiscally 

constrained long-range transportation 

plans. Proposals for both new and 

ongoing studies must show there is a 

need for these funds to support a 

meaningful future analysis of alternative 

modes and alignments, as opposed to 

efforts aimed at justifying largely 

predefined projects. 

b. Advancing Livability 

Proposers must describe the proposed 

study’s role in broader efforts to 

advance the six DOT–HUD–EPA 

Livability Principles. Higher scores will 

be assigned to proposals that are linked 

to a history of concrete actions as well 

as ongoing planning efforts to enhance 

livability. 

c. Study Approach and Outcomes 

Proposers must outline a study 

approach that is likely to provide 

decision-makers with actionable 

information about the costs and benefits 

of investment alternatives while 

meaningfully involving project 

stakeholders. Higher scores will be 

assigned to proposals that demonstrate 

successful outcomes from prior 

alternatives analyses, a robust public 

involvement plan, evidence of 

partnerships with related organizations 

(such as housing- and environmentfocused public agencies), and 

demonstration of technical capacity to 

complete all work. 

2. Review and Selection Process 

In addition to other FTA staff that 

may review the proposals, a technical 

evaluation committee will review 

proposals based on the evaluation 

criteria. Members of the technical 

evaluation committee and other 

involved FTA staff reserve the right to 

screen the proposals and seek 

clarification from any proposer about 

any statement in the proposal that FTA 

finds ambiguous and/or request 

additional documentation to be 

considered during the evaluation 

process to clarify information contained 

within the proposal. After consideration 

of the findings of the technical 

evaluation committee, the FTA 

Administrator will determine the final 

selection and amount of funding for 

each study. Geographic diversity and 

other discretionary awards may be 

considered in FTA’s award decisions. 

FTA expects to announce the selected 

studies and notify successful proposers 

in August 2012. 

III. Proposal and Submission 

Information 

A. Proposal Submission Process 

Proposals must be submitted 

electronically through http:// 

www.GRANTS.GOV by 11:59 p.m. EDT, 

April 19, 2012. Mail and fax

A complete proposal submission will 

consist of at least three files: (1) The SF 

424 Mandatory form (downloaded from 

GRANTS.GOV); (2) the supplemental 

form found on the FTA Alternatives 

Analysis program Web site: http:// 

fta.dot.gov/alternativesanalysis; and (3) 

a map of the study corridor. The 

supplemental form, titled Applicant and 

Proposal Profile, provides guidance and 

a consistent format for proposers to 

respond to the criteria outlined in this 

NOFA. Once completed, the 

supplemental form and the study 

corridor map must be placed in the 

attachments section of the SF 424 

Mandatory form. Letters of support and 

materials referenced in the 

supplemental form may also be 

submitted as attachments; however, 

FTA will not consider narrative beyond 

the text that can be accommodated 

within the supplemental form’s 

character limits. 

Within 24–48 hours after submitting 

an electronic application, the proposer 

should receive three email messages 

from GRANTS.GOV: (1) Confirmation of 

successful transmission to 

GRANTS.GOV, (2) confirmation of 

successful validation by GRANTS.GOV, 

and (3) confirmation of successful 

validation by FTA. If confirmations of 

successful validation are not received 

and a notice of failed validation or 

incomplete materials is received, the 

proposer must address the reason for the 

failed validation or incomplete 

materials and resubmit before the 

submission deadline. If making a 

resubmission for any reason, include all 

original attachments regardless of which 

attachments were updated and check 

the box on the supplemental form 

indicating this is a resubmission. 

Complete instructions on the 

application process can be found at 

http://www.fta.dot.gov/ 

alternativesanalysis. Important: FTA 

urges proposers to submit their 

applications at least 72 hours prior to 

the due date to allow time to receive the 

validation message and to correct any 

problems that may have caused a 

rejection notification. Submissions after 

the stated submission deadline will not 

be accepted. GRANTS.GOV scheduled 

maintenance and outage times are 

announced on the GRANTS.GOV Web 

site http://www.GRANTS.GOV. 

Deadlines will not be extended due to 

scheduled maintenance or outages. 

B. Proposal Content
