I. Overview II. Questions on Proposed Tribal Transit Formula Program Allocations III. Questions on Proposed Tribal Transit Discretionary Program IV. Questions on Proposed Cost Sharing, Matching, and Indirect Costs V. Proposed Terms and Conditions of the Tribal Transit Program

I. Overview

Section 3013 of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU), (Pub. L. 109–59 (August 10, 2005)) established the Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program (Tribal Transit Program). The program authorized direct grants ‘‘under such terms and conditions as may be established by the Secretary’’ to Indian tribes for any purpose eligible under
FTA’s Grants for Rural Areas Formula Program, 49 U.S.C. 5311 (Section 5311 program). The Tribal Transit Program was implemented by FTA in
consultation with Indian tribes consistent with the principles and policies set forth in Presidential Executive Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation
and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,’’ and U.S. Department of Transportation Order 5301.1, ‘‘Department of Transportation Programs, Policies, and Procedures affecting American Indians, Alaska Natives and tribes for programs affecting Indian tribal governments.’’ Under SAFETEA–LU, the Tribal Transit Program was a discretionary program, and funded for a total of $42 million
over the life of SAFETEA–LU and its extensions, with approximately $15
million available in each of the last four

years.

This notice describes changes to the Tribal Transit Program as a result of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP–21). MAP–21 modifies the Tribal Transit Program and provides $25 million for formula allocation and $5 million for discretionary allocation in each of fiscal years 2013 and 2014. Through this notice, FTA seeks comment on the data assumptions and methods FTA will use
to allocate these formula funds. FTA will continue to allocate the $5 million
