qualified and certified rail test 

professionals with recordable field 

validation equipment based on GPS 

location and known track features 

identified within the flaw detection 

electronic record. Remedial actions will 

be applied based on the findings per 49 

CFR 213.113 for confirmed rail defect 

locations. 

NS plans to test the Dearborn Division 

Chicago Line approximately every 30 to 

45 days and the extended territories 

within a similar timeframe. The NS 

Engineering Department will also 

provide the FRA Rail Integrity Office 

with rail test reports for review as 

required. NS believes nonstop 

continuous rail testing will provide the 

capability to test track more quickly and 

frequently, and minimize the risk of rail 

service failures.

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 

(Pub. L. 113–235, December 16, 2014) 

(‘‘FY 2015 Appropriations Act’’ or the 

‘‘Act’’) appropriated $500 million to be 

awarded by the Department of 

Transportation (‘‘DOT’’ or the

appropriation is similar, but not 

identical, to the program funded and 

implemented pursuant to the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(the ‘‘Recovery Act’’) known as the 

Transportation Investment Generating 

Economic Recovery, or ‘‘TIGER 

Discretionary Grants,’’ program. Because 

of the similarity in program structure, 

DOT will continue to refer to the 

program as ‘‘TIGER Discretionary 

Grants.’’ Funds for the FY 2015 TIGER 

program (‘‘TIGER FY 2015’’) are to be 

awarded on a competitive basis for 

projects that will have a significant 

impact on the Nation, a metropolitan 

area, or a region. The purpose of this 

final notice is to solicit applications for 

TIGER Discretionary Grants. 

DATES: Pre-applications must be 

submitted by 11:59 p.m. E.D.T. on May 

4, 2015. Final applications must be 

submitted by 11:59 p.m. E.D.T. on June 

5, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Pre-applications must be

Only applicants who comply with all 

submission requirements described in 

this notice and electronically submit
