In addition, FTA invites responses to the following related questions: • How should this provision be implemented for intercity bus or rail terminal projects undertaken on land not owned by the public transportation agency? • On what basis might nontransportation joint development activities be considered in this context, particularly with regard to the generation of program income and joint development transfer of real property? FTA seeks practical examples of intercity bus or rail terminal reuse, after cessation of intercity service. 9. Eligibility of Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment as a ‘‘Capital Project’’ Generally, FTA has funded transportation-related furniture, fixture, and equipment (FFE) as eligible costs for public transportation projects. FFE related to community services and private, profit-making activities has never been considered eligible, even in the context of joint development. For example, when FTA provided funding for the Linden Center day care in central Ohio, this did not extend to lighting fixtures, tables, chairs, blackboards, or other items required for the day care, even though many of these items were permanently affixed or built into the facility. These items were paid for by the tenant. FTA is considering applying this same standard to intercity bus and rail terminals that are qualified as public transportation capital projects. Because, to date, these items are not considered eligible for Federal funding, they have also not been previously allowed as local match for Federal grant dollars. In addition, FTA invites responses to the following related question: • How should FTA treat FFE related to lunch counters, vending kiosks, and miscellaneous retail activities, such as those found in many intercity bus and rail terminals? Issued on the 22nd day of March, 2006. Sandra K. Bushue, Deputy Administrator. [FR Doc.
