Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2024 / Notices 8753 

towards meeting an agency priority 

goal(s). Title I of the Foundations for 

Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 

2018 (Evidence Act), Public Law 115– 

435 urges Federal awarding agencies 

and Federal assistance recipients and 

subrecipients to use program evaluation 

as a critical tool to learn, to improve 

equitable delivery, and to elevate 

program service and delivery across the 

program lifecycle. Evaluation means ‘‘an 

assessment using systematic data 

collection and analysis of one or more 

programs, policies, and organizations 

intended to assess their effectiveness 

and efficiency.’’ 5 U.S.C. 311. Credible 

program evaluation activities are 

implemented with relevance and utility, 

rigor, independence and objectivity, 

transparency, and ethics (OMB Circular 

A–11, part 6 section 290). 

3. Reporting

Post-award reporting requirements

include the electronic submission of 

Federal Financial Reports and Milestone 

Progress Reports in FTA’s electronic 

grants management system. Recipients 

of funds made available through this 

NOFO are also required to regularly 

submit data to the National Transit 

Database. Recipients should include any 

goals, targets, and indicators referenced 

in their applications in the Executive 

Summary of the TrAMS application. 

FTA is committed to making 

evidence-based decisions guided by the 

best available science and data. In 

accordance with the Foundations for 

Evidence-based Policymaking Act of 

2018 (Evidence Act), FTA may use 

information submitted in discretionary 

funding applications; information in 

FTA’s Transit Award Management 

System (TrAMS), including grant 

applications, Milestone Progress Reports 

(MPRs), Federal Financial Reports 

(FFRs); transit service, ridership and 

operational data submitted in FTA’s 

National Transit Database; 

documentation and results of FTA 

oversight reviews, including triennial 

and State management reviews; and 

other publicly available sources of data 

to build evidence to support policy, 

budget, operational, regulatory, and 

management processes and decisions 

affecting FTA’s grant programs. 

As part of completing the annual 

certifications and assurances required of 

FTA grant recipients, a successful 

applicant must report on the suspension 

or debarment status of itself and its 

principals. If the award recipient’s 

active grants, cooperative agreements, 

and procurement contracts from all 

Federal awarding agencies exceeds 

$10,000,000 for any period of time 

during the period of performance of an 

award made pursuant to this Notice, the 

recipient must comply with the
