2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements 

i. Planning 

FTA encourages applicants to notify 

the appropriate metropolitan planning 

organizations in areas likely to be served 

by the funds made available under this 

program. Selected projects must be 

incorporated into the unified planning 

work programs of metropolitan areas 

before they are eligible for FTA funding 

or pre-award authority. 

ii. Standard Assurances 

The applicant assures that it will 

comply with all applicable Federal 

statutes, regulations, executive orders, 

directives, FTA circulars, and other 

Federal administrative requirements in 

carrying out any project supported by 

the FTA grant. The applicant 

acknowledges that it is under a 

continuing obligation to comply with 

the terms and conditions of the grant 

agreement issued for its project with 

FTA. The applicant understands that 

Federal laws, regulations, policies, and 

administrative practices might be 

modified from time to time and may 

affect the implementation of the project. 

The applicant agrees that the most 

recent Federal requirements will apply 

to the project unless FTA issues a 

written determination otherwise. The 

applicant must submit the Certifications 

and Assurances before receiving a grant 

if it does not have current certifications 

on file. 

iii. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

FTA requires that its recipients 

receiving planning, capital, and/or 

operating assistance that will award 

prime contracts exceeding $250,000 in 

FTA funds in a Federal fiscal year 

comply with Department of 

Transportation Disadvantaged Business 

Enterprise (DBE) program regulations 

(49 CFR part 26). Applicants should 

expect to include any funds awarded, 

excluding those to be used for vehicle 

procurements, in setting their overall 

DBE goal. 

3. Reporting 

Post-award reporting requirements 

include submission of Federal Financial 

Reports and Milestone Progress Reports 

in FTA’s electronic grants management 

system on a quarterly basis. Applicants 

should include any goals, targets, and 

indicators referenced in their 

application to the project in the 

Executive Summary of the TrAMS 

application. Awardees must also submit 

copies of the substantial deliverables 

identified in the work plan to the FTA 

regional office at the corresponding 

milestones. 

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 exceed 

$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 

Recipient Integrity and Performance 

Matters reporting requirements 

described in Appendix XII to 2 CFR part 

200.
