SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

The FMCSA recognizes that State and 

local governments and other grantees 

are dependent on its safety grants to 

develop and maintain important CMV 

safety programs. The FMCSA further 

acknowledges that delays in awarding 

grant funds may have an adverse impact 

on these important safety programs. As 

a result, FMCSA completed a grants 

process review to identify ways to 

streamline the application, award, and 

grants management processes, and to 

award grant funds earlier each fiscal 

year. In addition, FMCSA made changes 

in the grants application, award and 

oversight processes to standardize 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2010 / Notices 59785 

application forms, increase the use of 

electronic documents, standardize 

quarterly reports and reduce the number 

of needed grant amendments. 

The FMCSA continues to enter into 

grant agreements beginning October 1 or 

as soon thereafter as administratively 

practicable. FMCSA intends to enter 

into grant agreements no later than 90 

days from the date the application is 

due. 

The FMCSA is using a standard grant 

application form and a new quarterly 

reporting process. The FMCSA requires 

the Standard Form 424 (‘‘Application for 

Federal Assistance’’) and its attachments 

for all grant program applications. 

While each grant program may request 

different data in some of the data fields 

on the form, the use of the Standard 

Form 424 is mandatory. FMCSA 

adopted the Standard Form—Project 

Progress Report (SF–PPR) as its required 

form for quarterly reporting. Again, each 

grant program may, in certain instances, 

request that different data be submitted 

in some of the fields or boxes on the 

form but SF–PRR is mandatory for 

quarterly reporting. 

The number of original copies of grant 

agreements required to be submitted to 

FMCSA was reduced from three copies 

to two. In addition, FMCSA will provide 

most grant agreement documents 

electronically to its financial processing 

office. Grantees will, however, be 

required to submit the completed 

Automated Clearing House (ACH) 

Vendor Payment Form (SF–3881) 

directly to FMCSA’s financial 

processing office by U.S. Postal Service, 

courier service or secure fax. Changes 

were necessitated by the Agency’s 

implementation of a new grants 

management information technology 

system—GrantSolutions. GrantSolutions 

is a comprehensive grants management 

system provided by the Grants Center of 

Excellence (COE). The Grants COE 

serves as one of three consortia leads 

under the Grants Management Line of 

Business E–Gov initiative offering 

government-wide grants management 

system support services. It is expected 

that after full implementation, the 

GrantSolutions system will allow 

FMCSA to more quickly award grant 

funds, and will provide standardized 

grant application, award, and 

management and oversight throughout 

the Agency’s grant programs. It should 

be noted that in FY 2011, FMCSA will 

be implementing the electronic 

signatures functionality of the 

GrantSolutions system. As a result, this 

will be the Agency’s preferred method 

for securing grant agreement signatures. 

If electronic signature is used, two 

copies of the grant agreement do not 

have to be signed. Additional 

information will be provided to grantees 

during the grant award process. 

Discussion of Comments 

On July 13, 2010, FMCSA published 

a notice and request for comments 

regarding FMCSA’s anticipated Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2011 safety grant 

opportunities (75 FR 40023). This notice 

requested comments on the originally 

proposed dates. Only one comment was 

submitted to the docket. It did not 

directly discuss the grant programs or 

the proposed dates. Rather, the 

anonymous commenter provided an 

opinion about SAFETEA–LU. 

Additional information is provided 

below for each individual grant 

program. 

MCSAP Basic and Incentive Grants: 

Sections 4101 and 4107 of SAFETEA– 

LU authorize FMCSA’s Motor Carrier 

Safety Grants. MCSAP Basic and 

Incentive formula grants are governed 

by 49 U.S.C. 31102–31104 and 49 CFR 

Part 350. Under the Basic and Incentive 

grants programs, a State lead MCSAP 

agency, as designated by its Governor, is 

eligible to apply for Basic and Incentive 

grant funding by submitting a 

commercial vehicle safety plan (CVSP). 

See 49 CFR 350.201 and 350.205. The 

following jurisdictions are not eligible 

for Incentive funds: The Virgin Islands, 

American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, 

and the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

31103 and 49 CFR 350.303, FMCSA will 

reimburse each lead State MCSAP 

agency 80 percent of eligible costs 

incurred in a fiscal year. Each State will 

provide a 20 percent match to qualify 

for the program. The FMCSA 

Administrator waives the requirement 

for matching funds for the Virgin 

Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands. See 49 CFR 350.305. In 

accordance with 49 CFR 350.323, the 

Basic grant funds will be distributed 

proportionally to each State’s lead 

MCSAP agency using the following four, 

equally weighted (25 percent) factors: 

(1) 1997 road miles (all highways) as 

defined by the FMCSA; 

(2) All vehicle miles traveled (VMT) 

as defined by the FMCSA; 

(3) Population—annual census 

estimates as issued by the U.S. Census 

Bureau; and 

(4) Special fuel consumption (net after 

reciprocity adjustment) as defined by 

the FMCSA. 

A State’s lead MCSAP agency may 

qualify for Incentive Funds if it can 

demonstrate that the State’s CMV safety 

program has shown improvement in any 

or all of the following five categories: 

(1) Reduction in the number of large 

truck-involved fatal accidents; 

(2) Reduction in the rate of largetruck-involved fatal accidents or 

maintenance of a large- truck-involved 

fatal accident rate that is among the 

lowest 10 percent of such rates for 

MCSAP recipients and is not higher 

than the rate most recently achieved; 

(3) Upload of CMV accident reports in 

accordance with current FMCSA policy 

guidelines; 

(4) Verification of Commercial 

Driver’s Licenses during all roadside 

inspections; and 

(5) Upload of CMV inspection data in 

accordance with current FMCSA policy 

guidelines. 

Incentive funds will be distributed in 

accordance with 49 CFR 350.327(b). 

Prior to the start of each fiscal year, 

FMCSA calculates the amount of Basic 

and Incentive funding each State is 

expected to receive. This information is 

provided to the States and is made 

available on the Agency’s Web site. The 

FY 2011 information is available at 

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov. 

It should be noted that MCSAP Basic 

and Incentive formula grants are 

awarded based on the State’s 

submission of the CVSP. The evaluation 

factors described in the section below 

titled ‘‘Application Information for FY 

2011 Grants’’ will not be considered. 

MCSAP Basic and Incentive grant 

applications must be submitted 

electronically through grants.gov (http:// 

www.grants.gov). 

New Entrant Safety Audit Grants: 

Sections 4101 and 4107 of SAFETEA– 

LU also authorize the Motor Carrier 

Safety Grants to enable grant recipients 

to conduct interstate New Entrant safety 

audits consistent with 49 CFR Parts 

350.321 and 385.301. Eligible recipients 

are State agencies, local governments, 

and organizations representing 

government agencies that use and train 

qualified officers and employees in 

coordination with State motor vehicle 

safety agencies. The FMCSA’s share of 

these grant funds will be 100 percent. 

New Entrant grant applications must be 

submitted electronically through 

grants.gov 

(http://www.grants.gov). 

MCSAP High Priority Grants: 

Section 4107 of SAFETEA–LU also 

authorizes the Motor Carrier Safety 

Grants to enable recipients to carry out 

activities and projects that improve 

CMV safety and compliance with CMV 

regulations. Funding is available for 

projects that are national in scope, 

increase public awareness and 

education, demonstrate new 

technologies and reduce the number 

and rate of CMV accidents. Eligible 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
59786 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2010 / Notices 

recipients are State agencies, local 

governments, and organizations 

representing government agencies that 

use and train qualified officers and 

employees in coordination with State 

motor vehicle safety agencies. 

For grants awarded for public 

education activities, the Federal share 

will be 100 percent. For all High Priority 

grants other than those awarded in 

support of public education activities, 

FMCSA will provide reimbursements 

for no more than 80 percent of all 

eligible costs, and recipients will be 

required to provide a 20 percent match. 

FMCSA may reserve High Priority 

funding exclusively for innovative 

traffic enforcement projects, with 

particular emphasis on work zone 

enforcement and rural road safety. Also, 

FMCSA may reserve funding for an 

innovative traffic enforcement initiative 

known as ‘‘Ticketing Aggressive Cars 

and Trucks’’ or TACT. TACT provides a 

research-based safety model that can be 

replicated by States when conducting a 

high-visibility traffic enforcement 

program to promote safe driving 

behaviors among car and truck drivers. 

The objective of this program is to 

reduce the number of commercial truck 

and bus related crashes, fatalities and 

injuries resulting from improper 

operation of motor vehicles and 

aggressive driving behavior. More 

information regarding TACT can be 

found at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/ 

safety-security/tact/abouttact.htm. 

High Priority grant applications must 

be submitted through grants.gov. 

CMV Operator Safety Training Grants: 

Section 4134 of SAFETEA–LU 

established a grant program which 

enables recipients to train current and 

future drivers in the safe operation of 

CMVs, as defined in 49 U.S. C. 31301(4). 

Eligible awardees include State 

governments, local governments and 

accredited post-secondary educational 

institutions (public or private) such as 

colleges, universities, vocationaltechnical schools and truck driver 

training schools. Funding priority for 

this discretionary grant program will be 

given to regional or multi-state 

educational or nonprofit associations 

serving economically distressed regions 

of the United States. The Federal share 

of these funds will be 80 percent, and 

recipients will be required to provide a 

20 percent match. CMV Operator Safety 

Training grant applications must be 

submitted electronically through 

grants.gov. 

Border Enforcement Grants (BEG): 

Section 4110 of SAFETEA–LU 

established the BEG program. The 

purpose of this discretionary program is 

to provide funding for border CMV 

safety programs and related enforcement 

activities and projects. An entity or a 

State that shares a land border with 

another country is eligible to receive 

this grant funding. Eligible awardees 

include State governments, local 

governments, and entities (i.e., 

accredited post-secondary public or 

private educational institutions such as 

universities). Requests from entities 

must be coordinated with the State lead 

CMV inspection agency. Applications 

must include a Border Enforcement Plan 

and meet the required maintenance of 

expenditure requirement. BEG funding 

decisions take into consideration the 

State or entity’s performance on 

previous BEG awards; its ability to 

expend the awarded funds with the BEG 

performance year; and activities meeting 

the BEG national criteria established by 

FMCSA. As established by SAFETEA– 

LU, the Federal share of these funds will 

be 100 percent. As a result, there is no 

matching requirement. BEG grant 

applications must be submitted 

electronically through grants.gov. 

CDLPI Grants: 

Section 4124 of SAFETEA–LU 

established a discretionary grant 

program that provides funding for 

improving States’ implementation of the 

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) 

program, including expenses for 

computer hardware and software, 

publications, testing, personnel, and 

training. Funds may not be used to rent, 

lease, or buy land or buildings. The 

agency designated by each State as the 

primary driver licensing agency 

responsible for the development, 

implementation, and maintenance of the 

CDL program is eligible to apply for 

basic grant funding. State agencies, local 

governments, and other entities that can 

support a State’s effort to improve its 

CDL program or conduct projects on a 

national scale to improve the national 

CDL program may also apply for 

projects under the High Priority and 

Emerging Issues components. Grant 

proposals must include a detailed 

budget explaining how the funds will be 

used. The Federal share of funds for 

projects awarded under this grant is 

established by SAFETEA–LU as 100 

percent; therefore, there is no grantee 

matching requirement. The funding 

opportunity announcement on 

grants.gov will provide more detailed 

information on the application process; 

national funding priorities for FY 2011; 

evaluation criteria; required documents 

and certifications; State maintenance of 

expenditure requirements; and 

additional information related to the 

availability of funds. CLDPI grant 

applications must be submitted 

electronically through grants.gov. 

SaDIP Grants: 

Section 4128 of SAFETEA–LU 

established a SaDIP grant program to 

improve the quality of crash and 

inspection truck and bus data reported 

by the States to FMCSA, as described 49 

USC 31102. Eligible recipients are State 

agencies, local governments, and 

organizations representing government 

agencies that are involved with highway 

traffic safety activities and must 

demonstrate a capacity to work with 

highway traffic safety stakeholders. The 

State’s SaDIP proposal must focus on a 

project that enhances the accuracy, 

timeliness, and completeness of the 

collection and reporting of Commercial 

Motor Vehicle crash information in all 

components of the State’s record 

system. An applicant’s proposed SaDIP 

project must address the seven (7) 

application requirements plus the 

overriding indicator established for the 

State Safety Data Quality (SSDQ) 

program. The FMCSA will provide 

reimbursements for no more that 80 

percent of all eligible costs and 

recipients are required to provide a 20 

percent match. 

PRISM Grants: 

Section 4109 of SAFETEA–LU 

authorizes FMCSA to award financial 

assistance funds to States to implement 

the PRISM requirements that link 

Federal motor carrier safety information 

systems with State CMV registration and 

licensing systems. This program enables 

a State to determine the safety fitness of 

a motor carrier or registrant when 

licensing or registering or while the 

license or registration is in effect. 

PRISM grant applications must be 

submitted electronically through 

grants.gov. No matching funds are 

required. 

CVISN Grants: 

Section 4126 of SAFETEA–LU 

authorizes FMCSA to award financial 

assistance to States to deploy, operate, 

and maintain elements of their CVISN 

Program, including commercial vehicle, 

commercial driver, and carrier-specific 

information systems and networks. The 

agency in each State designated as the 

primary agency responsible for the 

development, implementation, and 

maintenance of a CVISN-related system 

is eligible to apply for grant funding. 

Section 4126 of SAFETEA–LU 

distinguishes between two types of 

CVISN projects: Core and Expanded. To 

be eligible for funding of Core CVISN 

deployment project(s), a State must have 

its most current Core CVISN Program 

Plan and Top-Level Design approved by 

FMCSA and the proposed project(s) 

should be consistent with its approved 

Core CVISN Program Plan and TopLevel Design. If a State does not have a 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2010 / Notices 59787 

Core CVISN Program Plan and TopLevel Design, it may apply for up to 

$100,000 in funds to either compile or 

update a Core CVISN Program Plan and 

Top-Level Design. 

A State may also apply for funds to 

prepare an Expanded CVISN Program 

Plan and Top-Level Design if FMCSA 

acknowledged the State as having 

completed Core CVISN deployment. In 

order to be eligible for funding of any 

Expanded CVISN deployment project(s), 

a State must have its most current 

Expanded CVISN Program Plan and 

Top-Level Design approved by FMCSA 

and any proposed Expanded CVISN 

project(s) should be consistent with its 

Expanded CVISN Program Plan and 

Top-Level Design. If a State does not 

have an existing or up-to-date Expanded 

CVISN Program Plan and Top-Level 

Design, it may apply for up to $100,000 

in funds to either compile or update an 

Expanded CVISN Program Plan and 

Top-Level Design. 

CVISN grant applications must be 

submitted electronically through 

grants.gov. Awards for approved CVISN 

grant applications are made on a firstcome, first-served basis. States must 

provide a match of 50 percent. 

Application Information For FY 2011 

GRANTS: 

General information about the 

FMCSA grant programs is available in 

the Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) which can be found
