Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 97 / Friday, May 18, 2001 / Notices 27749

49 CFR 80.17, the TIFIA JPO will charge

each borrower a credit processing fee

equal to a portion of the costs incurred

by the TIFIA JPO in negotiating the

credit agreement. The term sheet for

each selected will require the borrower

to pay at closing, or, in the event no

credit agreement is consummated, upon

invoicing by the TIFIA JPO, an amount

equal to the actual costs incurred by the

TIFIA JPO in procuring the assistance of

financial advisors and outside legal

counsel through execution of the credit

agreement(s) and satisfaction of all

funding requirements of those

agreements. The TIFIA JPO anticipates

that the amount of this fee will typically

range from $100,000 to $300,000

depending on the complexity of the

financial structure and the length of

negotiations. The borrower may not

include the credit processing fee among

eligible project costs for the purpose of

calculating the maximum 33 percent.

Finally, the TIFIA JPO will continue

to charge borrowers a fee of not less

than $10,000 per year, which may be

adjusted annually, for loan servicing

activities associated with each of their

TIFIA credit instruments. The borrower

may not include the loan servicing fee

among eligible project costs for the

purpose of calculating the maximum 33

percent credit amount.

The FHWA will publish in the

Federal Register, at least once each

fiscal year through FY 2003, a NOFA

inviting applications for credit

assistance for major surface

transportation projects through the

TIFIA program. Such notices will advise

potential applicants of the estimated

amount of funding available for TIFIA

credit instruments as well as any

changes to the application process,

including the nature and amount of any

required fees.
