This part implements section 324 of the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-17), which added section 23 to the FT Act. The part provides for a two-part program for major capital projects receiving assistance from the agency. First, subpart B discusses project management oversight, designed primarily to aid FTA in its role of ensuring successful implementation of federally-funded projects. Second, subpart C discusses the project management plan (PMP) required of all major capital projects. The PMP is designed to enhance the recipient's planning and implementation efforts and to assist FTA's grant application analysis efforts.
This rule applies to a recipient of Federal financial assistance undertaking a major capital project using funds made available under:
(a) Sections 3, 9, or 18 of the Federal Mass Transit Act of 1964, as amended;
(b) 23 U.S.C. 103(e)(4); or
(c) Section 14(b) of the National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1979 (93 Stat. 1320, Pub. L. 96-184).
(a) If a project meets the definition of major capital project, the recipient shall submit a project management plan prepared in accordance with §633.25 of this part, as a condition of Federal financial assistance. As a general rule, the PMP must be submitted during the grant review process and is part of FTA's grant application review. This section applies if:
(1) The project fails under one of the automatic major capital investment project categories (§633.5(1) or (2) of this part); or
(2) FTA makes a determination that a project is a major capital project, consistent with the definition of major capital project in §633.5. This determination normally will be made during the grant review process. However, FTA may make such determination after grant approval.
(b)(1) FTA will notify the recipient when it must submit the PMP. Normally, FTA will notify the recipient sometime during the grant review process. If FTA determines the project is major under its discretionary authority after the grant has been approved, FTA will inform the recipient of its determination as soon as possible.
(2) Once FTA has notified the recipient that it must submit a plan, the recipient will have a minimum of 90 days to submit the plan.
At a minimum, a recipient's project management plan shall include—
(a) A description of adequate recipient staff organization, complete with well-defined reporting relationships, statements of functional responsibilities, job descriptions, and job qualifications;
(b) A budget covering the project management organization, appropriate consultants, property acquisition, utility relocation, systems demonstration staff, audits, and such miscellaneous costs as the recipient may be prepared to justify;
(c) A construction schedule;
(e) A change order procedure which includes a documented, systematic approach to the handling of construction change orders;
(g) Quality control and quality assurance programs which define functions, procedures, and responsibilities for construction and for system installation and integration of system components;
(i) Plan for internal reporting requirements including cost and schedule control procedures; and
(b) If a recipient must modify an approved project management plan, the recipient shall submit the proposed changes to the Administrator along with an explanation of the need for the changes.
(3) Financing, both capital and operating;
(d) A recipient shall submit current data on a major capital project's budget and schedule to the Administrator on a monthly basis.
A waiver will be considered upon initiation by the grantee or by the agency itself. The Administrator may, on a case-by-case basis, waive:
(a) Any of the PMP elements in §633.25 of this part if the Administrator determines the element is not necessary for a particular plan; or
(b) The requirement of having a new project management plan submitted for a major capital project if a recipient seeks to manage the major capital project under a previously-approved project management plan.
