Appendix B: Additional Information on 

Applying Through Grants.gov 

Applications (Stage 2) for TIGER II 

Discretionary Grants must be submitted 

through Grants.gov. To apply for 

funding through Grants.gov, applicants 

must be properly registered. Complete 

instructions on how to register and 

apply can be found at http:// 

www.grants.gov. If interested parties 

experience difficulties at any point 

during registration or application 

process, please call the Grants.gov 

Customer Support Hotline at 1–800– 

518–4726, Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. 

to 9 p.m. EST. 

Registering with Grants.gov is a onetime process; however, processing 

delays may occur and it can take up to 

several weeks for first-time registrants to 

receive confirmation and a user 

password. It is highly recommended 

that applicants start the registration 

process as early as possible to prevent 

delays that may preclude submitting an 

application by the deadlines specified. 

Applications will not be accepted after 

the relevant due date; delayed 

registration is not an acceptable reason 

for extensions. In order to apply for 

TIGER II Discretionary Grant funding 

under this announcement and to apply 

for funding through Grants.gov, all 

applicants are required to complete the 

following: 

1. Acquire a DUNS Number. A DUNS 

number is required for Grants.gov 

registration. The Office of Management 

and Budget requires that all businesses 

and nonprofit applicants for Federal 

funds include a DUNS (Data Universal 

Numbering System) number in their 

applications for a new award or renewal 

of an existing award. A DUNS number 

is a unique nine-digit sequence 

recognized as the universal standard for 

identifying and keeping track of entities 

receiving Federal funds. The identifier 

is used for tracking purposes and to 

validate address and point of contact 

information for Federal assistance 

applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. The DUNS number will be 

used throughout the grant life cycle. 

Obtaining a DUNS number is a free, 

one-time activity. Obtain a DUNS 

number by calling 1–866–705–5711 or 

by applying online at http:// 

www.dunandbradstreet.com. 

2. Acquire or Renew Registration With 

the Central Contractor Registration 

(CCR) Database. All applicants for 

Federal financial assistance maintain 

current registrations in the Central 

Contractor Registration (CCR) database. 

An applicant must be registered in the 

CCR to successfully register in 

Grants.gov. The CCR database is the 

repository for standard information 

about Federal financial assistance 

applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. Organizations that have 

previously submitted applications via 

Grants.gov are already registered with 

CCR, as it is a requirement for 

Grants.gov registration. Please note, 

however, that applicants must update or 

renew their CCR registration at least 

once per year to maintain an active 

status, so it is critical to check 

registration status well in advance of 

relevant application deadlines. 

Information about CCR registration 

procedures can be accessed at http:// 

www.ccr.gov. 

3. Acquire an Authorized 

Organization Representative (AOR) and 

a Grants.gov Username and Password. 

Complete your AOR profile on 

Grants.gov and create your username 

and password. You will need to use 

your organization’s DUNS Number to 

complete this step. For more 

information about the registration 

process, go to http://www.grants.gov/ 

applicants/get_registered.jsp. 

4. Acquire Authorization for Your 

AOR From the E-Business Point of 

Contact (E-Biz POC). The E-Biz POC at 

your organization must log in to 

Grants.gov to confirm you as an AOR. 

Please note that there can be more than 

one AOR for your organization. 

5. Search for the Funding Opportunity 

on Grants.gov. Please use the following 

identifying information when searching 

for the TIGER II funding opportunity on 

Grants.gov. The Catalog of Federal 

Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for 

this solicitation is 20.933, titled Surface 

Transportation Infrastructure 

Discretionary Grants for Capital 

Investments II. 

6. Submit an Application Addressing 

All of the Requirements Outlined in 

This Funding Availability 

Announcement. Within 24–48 hours 

after submitting your electronic 

application, you should receive an email validation message from 

Grants.gov. The validation message will 

tell you whether the application has 

been received and validated or rejected, 

with an explanation. You are urged to 

submit your application at least 72 

hours prior to the due date of the 

application to allow time to receive the 

validation message and to correct any 

problems that may have caused a 

rejection notification. 

Note: When uploading attachments please 

use generally accepted formats such as .pdf, 

.doc, and .xls. While you may imbed picture 

files such as .jpg, .gif, .bmp, in your files, 

please do not save and submit the attachment 

in these formats. Additionally, the following 

formats will not be accepted: .com, .bat, .exe, 

.vbs, .cfg, .dat, .db, .dbf, .dll, .ini, .log, .ora,

Experiencing Unforeseen Grants.gov 

Technical Issues 

If you experience unforeseen 

Grants.gov technical issues beyond your 

control that prevent you from 

submitting your application by the 

deadline, you must contact Robert 

Mariner at 202–366–8914 or 

Robert.Mariner@dot.gov within 24 hours 

after the deadline and request approval 

to submit your application. At that time, 

DOT staff will require you to e-mail the 

complete grant application, your DUNS 

number, and provide a Grants.gov Help 

Desk tracking number(s). After DOT 

staff review all of the information 

submitted as well as contacts the 

Grants.gov Help Desk to validate the 

technical issues you reported, DOT staff 

will contact you to either approve or 

deny your request to submit a late 

application. If the technical issues you 

reported cannot be validated, your 

application will be rejected as untimely. 

To ensure a fair competition for 

limited discretionary funds, the 

following conditions are not valid 

reasons to permit late submissions: (1) 

Failure to complete the registration 

process before the deadline date; (2) 

failure to follow Grants.gov instructions 

on how to register and apply as posted 

on its Web site; (3) failure to follow all 

of the instructions in the funding 

availability notice; and (4) technical 

issues experienced with the applicant’s 

computer or information technology (IT) 

environment.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 104 / Tuesday, June 1, 2010 / Notices 30481 

and Warren Counties, Missouri. The 

NOI was published in the Federal 

Register on April 22, 2008. This 

rescission is based on a reduction in the 

scope of the project. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Peggy J. Casey, Environmental Projects 

Team Leader, FHWA Division Office, 

3220 West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson 

City, Missouri 65109, Telephone: (573)

Engineer, Missouri Department of 

Transportation, P.O. Box 270, Jefferson 

City, Missouri 65102, Telephone: (573) 

526–5678. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Missouri Department of Transportation 

(MoDOT), is rescinding the NOI to 

prepare an EIS for a project that had 

been proposed to improve the 

transportation system on Route 47 in 

Warren and Franklin Counties, 

Missouri. The NOI is being rescinded 

because the scope of the project has 

been reduced from the 2008 proposal to 

replace the existing bridge over the 

Missouri River and relocate or 

reconstruct Missouri Route 47 between 

Route 94 in Warren County and Fifth 

Street in the city of Washington in 

Franklin County. The currently 

proposed project will replace the Route 

47 Bridge either immediately upstream 

or downstream from the existing bridge. 

The project extends roughly from 

Augusta Bottom Road in Warren County 

south to the touchdown in the city of 

Washington in Franklin County.

Program Number 20.205, Highway Planning
