non-aeronautical airport property. In 

1942, the City of Austin donated land to

military installation (Bergstrom Air 

Force Base), with the stipulation that 

the land would revert back to the City 

of Austin when the government no 

longer needed it. The Air Force Base 

was officially closed on September 30, 

1996. On July 27, 2001, the United 

States of America/Secretary of the Air 

Force conveyed 1989.252 acres back to 

the City of Austin as a result of the base 

closure. The 0.60 acre (26,149 SF) tract 

is a part of the larger 1989.252 acre tract. 

The property to be released will be sold 

to allow for highway improvements 

along State Highway 71. 

Any person may inspect the request 

in person at the FAA office listed above

In addition, any person may, upon 

request, inspect the application, notice

Federal Transit Administration 

Public Transportation on Indian 

Reservations Program; Tribal Transit 

Program 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Funding Availability: 

Solicitation of Grant Applications for 

FY 2014 Tribal Transit Program Funds. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA) announces the 

availability of approximately $5 million 

in funding provided by the Public 

Transportation on Indian Reservations 

Program (Tribal Transit Program (TTP)), 

as authorized by 49 U.S.C. Section 

5311(j), as amended by the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21), Public Law 112–41 (July 

6, 2012). This notice is a national 

solicitation for project proposals and 

includes the selection criteria and 

program eligibility information for 

Fiscal Year 2014 projects. FTA may 

choose to fund the program for more or 

less than the announcement amount, 

including applying any FY 2015 

appropriations or other funding toward 

projects proposed in response to the 

Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). 

This announcement is available on 

the FTA Web site at: http://

www.fta.dot.gov/grants/15926_

3553.html. Additionally, a synopsis of 

the funding opportunity will be posted 

in the FIND module of the governmentwide electronic grants Web site at 

http://www.grants.gov. 

FTA requires that all project 

proposals be submitted electronically 

through http://www.GRANTS.GOV by 

11:59 p.m. EDT on February 18, 2015. 

Mail and fax submissions will not be 

accepted. A complete proposal 

submission will consist of at least two 

files: (1) The SF 424 Mandatory form 

(downloaded from GRANTS.GOV) and 

(2) the Tribal Transit supplemental form 

found on the FTA Web site at http://

www.fta.dot.gov/grants/15926_

3553.html. The Tribal Transit 

supplemental form provides guidance 

and a consistent format for applicants to 

respond to the criteria outlined in this 

NOFA. Once completed, the applicant 

must place the supplemental form in the 

attachments section of the SF–424 

Mandatory form. Applicants must use 

the supplemental form designated for 

TTP and attach the form to their 

submission in GRANTS.GOV to 

complete the application process. A 

proposal submission may contain 

additional supporting documentation as 

attachments. 

Within 24–48 hours after submitting 

an electronic application, the applicant 

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 the applicant does 

not receive confirmations of successful 

validation and instead receives a notice 

of failed validation or incomplete 

materials, the applicant must address 

the reason for the failed validation or 

incomplete materials, as described in 

the notice, and resubmit the proposal 

before the submission deadline. If 

making a resubmission for any reason, 

the applicant must include all original 

attachments regardless of which 

attachments are 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/grants/15926_

3553.html. 

Important: FTA urges applicants to 

submit their project proposals 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. FTA will 

not accept submissions after the stated 

submission deadline. GRANTS.GOV 

scheduled maintenance and outage 

times are announced on the 

GRANTS.GOV Web site http://

www.GRANTS.GOV. The deadline will 

not be extended due to scheduled 

maintenance or outages. 

Applicants may submit one proposal 

for each project or one proposal 

containing multiple projects. Applicants 

submitting multiple projects in one 

proposal must be sure to clearly define 

each project by completing a 

supplemental form for each project. 

Additional supplemental forms must be 

added within the proposal by clicking 

the ‘‘add project’’ button in Section II of 

the supplemental form. 

Information such as applicant name, 

Federal amount requested, description 

of areas served, and other information 

may be requested in varying degrees of 

detail on both the SF 424 form and 

supplemental form. Applicants must fill 

in all fields unless stated otherwise on 

the forms. Applicants should use both 

the ‘‘Check Package for Errors’’ and the 

‘‘Validate Form’’ validation buttons on 

both forms to check all required fields 

on the forms, and ensure that the 

Federal and local amounts specified are 

consistent.

discretionary allocation in FY 2014 to 

projects selected pursuant to the process 

described in the following sections.
