Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2017 / Notices 40063 

Planning activities are not eligible under this 

competition. 

10. Are public car-ferries eligible? 

Answer: Ferry systems that accommodate 

cars must also accommodate walk-on 

passengers in order to be eligible. 

11. Is the construction of a ferry 

maintenance facility an eligible capital 

project? 

Answer: Yes. 

12. Is a new vessel construction funded by 

FTA grants considered a public work or 

rolling stock and therefore subject to Davis 

Bacon? 

Answer: Yes, a new vessel construction is 

rolling stock. Davis Bacon applies to 

construction, alteration, or repairs of public 

buildings or public works, but it does not 

apply to rolling stock. 

13. Does the term ‘‘terminals & related 

infrastructure’’ projects include the floating 

docks and access ramps where the passengers 

board? 

Answer: Yes. 

14. Is there a difference between the FTA’s 

Passenger Ferry Grant Program and FHWA’s 

Ferry Boat Formula Grant Funding Program? 

Answer: There may be subtle differences 

between FTA’s and FHWA’s programs. 

However, FHWA no longer has a competitive 

program. It is now a formula program. Please 

refer to FHWA’s page for more information: 

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/. 

15. What is the grant process after an entity 

is selected? 

Answer: An agency would work with the 

FTA regional office to apply for the funds in 

FTA’s electronic management system. The 

Federal Register announcing selection will 

also provide grant-making instructions.

Title: Veterans’ Health Benefits 

Handbook Questionnaire—VA Form 10– 

0507. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0773. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Veterans’ Health 

Benefits Handbook is available to all 

enrolled Veterans. The Handbook 

contains general eligibility and benefits 

information and most importantly, 

information specific to the Veteran. 

VHA seeks approval for this collection 

to provide Veterans an opportunity to 

provide anonymous feedback on the 

content and presentation of the material 

contained in the Handbook. VHA will 

use the information gathered to 

determine how well the Handbook 

meets Veterans’ needs and make 

changes to the Handbook where needed. 

This voluntary survey will not be used 

as a substitute for traditional program 

evaluation surveys that measure 

objective outcomes. To maximize the 

voluntary response rates, the 

information collection will be designed 

to foster convenient, simple and barrier 

free participation. The data collected 

will consist of the minimum amount of 

information necessary to determine 

customer satisfaction. The areas of 

concern to VHA and its customers 

change rapidly and it is essential to 

have the ability to evaluate customer 

concerns in a timely manner. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 135 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 5 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,060.
