BILLING CODE 3290–F3–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

Fiscal Year 2012 Public Transportation 

on Indian Reservations Program 

Project Selections 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Tribal transit program 

announcement of project selections. 

SUMMARY: The US. Department of 

Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

selection of projects with Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2012 appropriations for the Tribal 

Transit Program. A March 9, 2012 

Federal Register Notice (77 FR 14465) 

announced the availability of the 

funding for the program. The Surface 

and Air Transportation Programs 

Extension Act of 2011 authorizes 

approximately $15 million for federally 

recognized Indian Tribes or Alaska 

Native villages, groups, or communities 

as identified by the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs (BIA) in the U.S. Department of 

the Interior for public transportation. An 

additional $500,000 is available from 

prior years, bringing the total available 

to just over $15.5 million. The Tribal 

Transit Program supports capital 

projects, operating costs and planning 

activities that are eligible under the 

Formula Grants for Rural Areas Program 

(Section 5311). 

This is the final discretionary 

allocation for the Tribal Transit 

Program, which was first authorized 

under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU). The 

new authorizing legislation, Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21), was signed into law by 

President Obama on July 6, 2012, and 

became effective on October 1, 2012. 

MAP–21 continues the Tribal Transit 

Program and authorizes $25 million for 

a formula allocation and $5 million for 

a discretionary allocation in each of 

fiscal years 2013 and 2014. On 

November 9, 2012, FTA published a 

Federal Register Notice (77FR 67439) 

regarding the Fiscal Year 2013 Public 

Transportation on Indian Reservations 

Program, which: (1) Introduces FTA’s 

consultation process and schedule for 

implementing changes due to MAP–21; 

(2) describes and seeks comment on the 

methodology for the formula allocation 

and the assumptions made to determine 

who is eligible for the formula program; 

(3) seeks comment on the terms and 

conditions for the formula and 

discretionary components of the 

program; (4) seeks comment on how the 

discretionary program should be 

allocated; and (5) announces two public 

meetings sponsored by FTA to consult 

with tribal governments regarding the 

Tribal Transit Program. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Successful applicants should contact 

the appropriate FTA Regional office 

(Appendix) for information regarding

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of 

$15,514,495 million is available for the 

FY 2012 Tribal Transit program. A total 

of 107 applicants requested $53 million, 

indicating significant demand for funds 

for new transit services, enhancement or 

expansion of existing transit services, 

and planning studies including 

operational planning. Project proposals 

were evaluated based on each 

applicant’s responsiveness to the 

program evaluation criteria outlined in 

FTA’s March 9, 2012 Notice of Funding 

Availability. FTA also took into 

consideration the current status of 

previously funded applicants. A total of 

72 applications have been selected for 

funding. The projects selected as shown 

in Table 1 will provide funding for 

transit planning studies/and or 

operational planning, start-up projects 

for new transit service, and for the 

operational expenses of existing transit 

services. Grantees selected for 

competitive discretionary funding 

should work with their FTA regional 

office to finalize the grant application in 

FTA’s Transportation Electronic Awards 

Management System (TEAM) for the 

projects identified in the attached table 

and so that funds can be obligated 

expeditiously. FTA funds may only be 

used for eligible purposes defined under 

49 U.S.C 5311 and described in FTA 

Circular 9040.1F. In cases where the 

allocation amount is less than the 

proposer’s requested amount, grantees 

should work with the regional office to 

reduce scope or scale the project such 

that a completed phase or project is 

accomplished. A discretionary project 

identification number has been assigned 

to each project for tracking purposes 

and must be used in the TEAM 

application. The post award reporting 

requirements include submission of the 

Federal Financial Report (FFR), 

Milestone Report in TEAM, and 

National Transit Database reporting as 

appropriate (see FTA Circular 9040.1F). 

The grantee must comply with all 

applicable Federal statutes, regulations, 

executive orders, FTA circulars, and 

other Federal requirements in carrying 

out the project supported by the FTA 

grant. Funds allocated in this 

announcement must be obligated in a 

grant by September 30, 2015. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 28th day of 

December, 2012.

Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The OCC is proposing to extend OMB 

approval of the following information 

collection: 

Title: Leasing (12 CFR Part 23). 

OMB Number: 1557–0206. 

Description: This submission covers 

an existing regulation and involves no 

change to the regulation or to the 

information collection requirements. 

The OCC requests only that OMB extend 

the expiration date. 

Information Collection Requirements 

Found in 12 CFR Part 23 

12 CFR 23.4(c) 

Under 12 CFR 23.4(c), national banks 

must liquidate or re-lease personal 

property that is no longer subject to 

lease (off-lease property) within five 

years from the date of the lease 

expiration. If a bank wishes to extend 

the five-year holding period for up to an 

additional five years, it must obtain 

OCC approval. Permitting a bank to 

extend the holding period may result in 

cost savings to national banks. It also 

provides flexibility for a bank that 

experiences unusual or unforeseen 

conditions which would make it 

imprudent to dispose of the off-lease 

property. Section 23.4(c) requires a bank 

seeking an extension to provide a 

clearly convincing demonstration as to 

why an additional holding period is 

necessary. In addition, a bank must 

value off-lease property at the lower of 

current fair market value or book value 

promptly after the property comes offVerDate Mar<15>2010 19:11 Jan 07, 2013 Jkt 229001 PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM 08JAN1
