the ability to conduct dynamic testing of 

the biofuel blends or bio-based lubricant 

in railroad equipment in controlled 

environment and/or revenue service 

conditions; and (4) the ability to provide 

matching funds or in-kind 

contributions, which can be provided by 

a third party; however, the grantee is 

responsible for ensuring their 

availability. 

Requirements for Grant Applications: 

The following points describe the 

minimum content which will be 

required in grant applications. These 

requirements may be satisfied through a 

narrative statement submitted by the

I. Overview 

Section 3013 of SAFETEA–LU, [Pub. 

L. 109–59 (August 10, 2005)] amended 

49 U.S.C. 5311(c) by establishing the 

Public Transportation on Indian 

Reservations Program (Tribal Transit 

Program) (TTP). This program 

authorizes direct grants ‘‘under such 

terms and conditions as may be 

established by the Secretary’’ to Indian 

Tribes for any purpose eligible under 

FTA’s Nonurbanized Area Formula 

Program, 49 U.S.C. 5311 (Section 5311 

program). A total of $15,074,963 million 

is currently available for discretionary 

allocation. 

II. Program Purpose 

TTP funds are to be allocated for 

grants to Federally recognized Indian 

Tribes for any purpose eligible under 

the Section 5311 program. The 

Conference Report that accompanied 

SAFETEA–LU indicated that the funds 

set aside for Indian Tribes in the TTP 

are not meant to replace or reduce funds 

that Indian Tribes receive from States 

through FTA’s Section 5311 program. 

TTP funds are meant to complement 

any 5311 funds that applicants may be 

receiving. These funds will be 

competitively allocated to support 

planning, capital, and operating 

assistance for Tribal public transit 

services. Geographic diversity will be 

considered during the allocation of TTP 

funds. 

III. Program Information 

1. Eligible Applicants 

Eligible applicants include Federallyrecognized Indian Tribes or Alaska 

Native villages, groups, or communities 

as identified by the Bureau of Indian 

Affairs (BIA) in the U.S. Department of 

the Interior (DOI). To be an eligible 

recipient, a Tribe must have the 

requisite legal, financial and technical 

capabilities to receive and administer 

Federal funds under this program. To 

verify Federal recognition a Tribe may 

submit a copy of the most up-to-date 

Federal Register notice published by 

DOI, BIA: Entities Recognized and 

Eligible to Receive Service from the 

United States Bureau of Indian Affairs. 

2. Eligible Projects 

Grants can be awarded to recipients 

located in rural and small urban areas 

with populations under 50,000 not 

identified as an urbanized area by the 

Bureau of the Census and may be used 

for public transportation capital 

projects, operating costs of equipment 

and facilities for use in public 

transportation, planning, and the 

acquisition of public transportation 

services, including service agreements 

with private providers of public 

transportation services. Under DOT 

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 

(ADA) regulations, public fixed route 

operators are required to provide ADA 

complementary paratransit service to 

individuals who are unable to use fixed 

route due to their disability or a fixed 

route being inaccessible. Coordinated 

human service transportation that 

primarily serves elderly persons and 

persons with disabilities, but that is not 

restricted from carrying other members 

of the public, is considered available to 

the general public if it is marketed as 

public transportation. Examples of 

eligible TTP projects are start-up 

service, enhancement or expansions of 

existing services, purchase of transit 

capital items including vehicles, and 

planning or operational planning grants. 

3. Cost Sharing and Matching 

Projects selected for funding under 

the TTP can be funded up to 100 

percent Federal share. 

4. Proposal Content 

The following information must 

accompany all requests for TTP funding. 

a. Proposal Information 

(i) Name of Federally recognized 

Tribe and, if appropriate, the specific 

Tribal agency submitting the 

application. 

(ii) Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data 

Universal Numbering System (DUNS)

b. Technical, Legal, and Financial 

Capacity To Implement the Proposed 

Project 

Tribes that cannot demonstrate 

adequate capacity in technical, legal and 

financial areas will not be considered 

for funding. Every proposal must 

describe the Tribe’s technical, legal, and 

financial capacity to implement the 

proposed project. 

(i) Technical Capacity: Provide 

examples of the Tribe’s management of 

other Federal projects. What resources 

does the Tribe have to implement a 

transit project? 

(ii) Legal Capacity: Provide 

documentation or other evidence to 

show that the applicant is a Federally 

recognized Tribe and an authorized 

representative to execute legal 

agreements with FTA on behalf of the 

Tribe. If applying for capital or 

operating funds, does the Tribe have 

appropriate Federal or State operating 

authority? 

(iii) Financial Capacity: Does the 

Tribe have adequate financial systems 

in place to receive and manage a Federal 

grant? Describe the Tribe’s financial 

systems and controls. 

c. Project Information 

(i) Budget: Provide the Federal 

amount requested for each purpose for 

which funds are sought and any funding 

from other sources that will be 

provided. A Tribe may allow up to 

fifteen percent of the grant award for 

planning and the indirect cost should be 

at a rate of ten percent. 

(ii) Project Description: Indicate the 

category for which funding is requested; 

i.e., start-ups, enhancements or 

replacements of existing transit services 

or planning studies or operational 

planning grants. Provide a summary 

description of the proposed project and 

how it will be implemented (e.g., 

number and type of vehicles, service 

area, schedules, type of services, fixed 

route or demand responsive), route 

miles (if fixed route), major origins and 

destinations, population served, and 

whether the Tribe provides the service 

directly or contracts for services and 

how vehicles will be maintained. 

(iii) Project Timeline: Include 

significant milestones such as date of 

contract for purchase of vehicle(s), 

actual or expected delivery date of 

vehicles, and service start-up dates. 

5. Evaluation Criteria 

FTA will divide proposals into three 

categories for evaluation. The three 

evaluation categories are as follows: 

• Start-ups—Proposals for funding of 

new transit service include capital, 

operating, administration, and planning. 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
27116 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 92 / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / Notices 

• Existing transit services—Proposals 

for funding of enhancements or 

expansion of existing transit services 

include capital, operating, 

administration, and planning. 

• Planning—Proposals for planning 

include funding of transit planning 

studies and/or operational planning. 

Applications will be grouped into 

their respective category for review and 

scoring purposes. 

a. Evaluation Criteria for Start-up and 

Existing Transit Service Proposals 

In this section, the applicant should 

describe how the proposed project was 

developed and demonstrate that there is 

a sound basis for the project and that it 

is ready to implement if funded. 

Proposals will be rated whether there is 

a sound basis for the proposal and if it 

is ready to implement. Information may 

vary depending upon whether a Tribe 

has a formal plan that includes transit 

(as described in subsections (i) and (ii) 

below). 

(i) Project Planning and Coordination 

without a Formal Plan Should Consider 

and Address the Following Areas: 

(a) Provide a detailed project 

description including the proposed 

service, vehicle and facility needs, and 

other pertinent characteristics of the 

proposed service implementation. 

(b) Identify existing transportation 

services available to the Tribe and 

discuss whether the proposed project 

will provide opportunities to coordinate 

service with existing transit services, 

including human service agencies, 

intercity bus services, or other public 

transit providers. 

(c) Discuss the level of support either 

by the community and/or Tribal 

government for the proposed project. 

(d) Describe the implementation 

schedule for the proposed project, such 

as time frame, staffing, and 

procurement. 

ii. Project Planning and Coordination 

with a Formal Plan Should Consider 

and Address the Following Areas: 

(a) Describe the planning document 

and/or the planning process conducted 

to identify the proposed project. 

(b) Describe how the mobility and 

client-access needs of Tribal human 

service agencies were considered in the 

planning process. 

(c) Describe what opportunities for 

public participation were provided in 

the planning process and how the 

proposed transit service or existing 

service has been coordinated with 

transportation provided for the clients 

of human service agencies, with 

intercity bus transportation in the area, 

or with any other rural public transit 

providers. 

(d) Describe how the proposed service 

complements rather than duplicates any 

currently available services. 

(e) Describe the implementation 

schedule for the proposed project, 

including time frame, staffing, 

procurement, etc. 

(f) Describe any other planning or 

coordination efforts that were not 

mentioned above. 

(iii) Demonstration of Need: 

In this section, the proposal should 

demonstrate the transit needs of the 

Tribe and discuss how the proposed 

transit improvements will address the 

identified transit needs. Proposals may 

include information such as 

destinations and services not currently 

accessible by transit, need for access to 

jobs or health care, special needs of the 

elderly and individuals with 

disabilities, income-based community 

needs, or other mobility needs. 

Based on the information provided, 

the proposals will be rated on whether 

there is a demonstrated need for the 

project and how well does the project 

fulfill the need. 

(iv) Benefits of Project: 

In this section, proposals should 

identify expected project benefits. 

Possible examples include increased 

ridership and daily trips, improved 

service, improved operations and 

coordination, and economic benefits to 

the community. 

Benefits can be demonstrated by 

identifying the population of Tribal 

members and non-Tribal members in 

the proposed project service area and 

estimating the number of daily one-way 

trips the transit service will provide and 

or the number of individual riders. 

There may be many other, less 

quantifiable, benefits to the Tribe and 

surrounding community from this 

project. Please document, explain or 

show the benefits in whatever format is 

reasonable to present them. 

Based on the information provided 

proposals will be rated based on four 

factors: 

a. Will the project improve transit 

efficiency or increase ridership? 

b. Will the project improve mobility 

for the Tribe? 

c. Will the project improve access to 

important destinations and services? 

d. Are there other qualitative benefits? 

(v) Financial Commitment and 

Operating Capacity: 

In this section, the proposal should 

identify any other funding sources used 

by the Tribe to support existing or 

proposed transit services, including 

human service transportation funding, 

Indian Reservation Roads, or other FTA 

programs such as Job Access and 

Reverse Commute, New Freedom, 

section 5311, section 5310, or section 

5309 Bus and Bus Facilities. 

For existing services, the proposal 

should show how TTP funding will 

supplement (not duplicate or replace) 

current funding sources. If the transit 

system was previously funded under 

section 5311 through the State’s 

apportionment, describe how requested 

TTP funding will expand available 

services. 

Describe any other resources the Tribe 

will contribute to the project, including 

in-kind contributions, commitments of 

support from local businesses, 

donations of land or equipment, and 

human resources, and describe to what 

extent the new project or funding for 

existing service leverages other funding. 

The Tribe should show its ability to 

manage programs by demonstrating the 

existing programs it administers in any 

area of expertise such as human 

services. Based upon the information 

provided, the proposals will be rated on 

the extent to which the proposal 

demonstrates that: 

a. This project provides new services 

or complements existing service; 

b. TTP funding does not replace 

existing funding; 

c. The Tribe has or will provide nonfinancial support to project; 

d. The Tribe has demonstrated ability 

to provide other services or manage 

other programs; and 

e. Project funds are used in 

coordination with other services for 

efficient utilization of funds. 

b. Evaluation Criteria for Planning 

Proposals 

For planning grants, the application 

should describe, in no more than three 

pages, the need for and a general scope 

of the proposed study. 

The application should address the 

following: 

a. Is the Tribe committed to planning 

for transit? 

b. Is the scope of the proposed study 

for Tribal transit? 

c. Note on Continuation Projects 

If an applicant is requesting FY 2010 

funding to continue a project funded 

previously with prior year resources, 

Tribes must demonstrate that their 

project(s) are in an active status to 

receive additional funding. Along with 

the criteria listed in Section 111.5.a, 

proposals should state that the applicant 

is a current TTP grantee and provide 

information on their transit project(s) 

status including services now being 

provided and how the new funding will 

complement the existing service. Please 

provide any data that would be helpful 

to project evaluators, i.e., ridership, 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 92 / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / Notices 27117 

increased service hours, extended 

service routes, stops, etc. If you received 

a planning grant in previous fiscal years, 

please indicate the status of your 

planning study and how this project 

relates to that study.

Background 

The Kingpin Act became law on 

December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act 

establishes a program targeting the 

activities of significant foreign narcotics 

traffickers and their organizations on a 

worldwide basis. It provides a statutory 

framework for the President to impose 

sanctions against significant foreign 

narcotics traffickers and their 

organizations on a worldwide basis, 

with the objective of denying their 

businesses and agents access to the U.S. 

financial system and the benefits of 

trade and transactions involving U.S. 

companies and individuals. 

The Kingpin Act blocks all property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, owned or controlled by 

significant foreign narcotics traffickers 

as identified by the President. In 

addition, the Secretary of the Treasury 

consults with the Attorney General, the 

Director of the Central Intelligence 

Agency, the Director of the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation, the 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, the Secretary of 

Defense, the Secretary of State, and the 

Secretary of Homeland Security when 

designating and blocking the property 

and interests in property, subject to U.S. 

jurisdiction, of persons who are found 

to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or 

providing financial or technological 

support for or to, or providing goods or 

services in support of, the international 

narcotics trafficking activities of a 

person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or 

directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, 

a person designated pursuant to the 

Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant 

role in international narcotics 

trafficking. 

On May 6, 2010, the Director of OFAC 

designated 19 individuals and 12 

entities whose property and interests in 

property are blocked pursuant to section 

805(b) of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin 

Designation Act.
