SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act—A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU),
enacted on August 10, 2005, established
a new ‘‘Small Starts’’ program category
for projects that seek less than
$75,000,000 in funding from the Federal
Transit Administration’s (FTA’s)
Section 5309 New Starts Program and
that have a total project cost of less than
$250,000,000. SAFETEA–LU called for
FTA to issue regulations to implement
this new program category.
Authorizations for Small Starts begin in
Fiscal Year 2007. In addition,
SAFETEA–LU made a number of other
changes in FTA’s New Starts Program
(for projects too large to qualify as a
Small Start). Consistent with
SAFETEA–LU requirements to do so,
FTA published a notice in the Federal
Register on January 19, 2006, providing
proposed revisions to FTA’s New Starts
Policy and draft New Starts Program
guidance. This notice indicated that
changes in the New Starts program
required by SAFETEA–LU would be
subject to a subsequent rulemaking and
provided additional material describing
possible approaches to implementing
the changes which would be the subject
of that rulemaking. In addition, on
January 30, 2006, FTA issued an
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33503
Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (ANPRM) related to
implementation of the Small Starts
program category. In both Federal
Register notices, FTA indicated that it
expected that a single regulation would
be issued to cover both Small Starts and
New Starts and that a later Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking would be issued
covering both programs. As promised in
the January 19, 2006, notice, on May 22,
2006, FTA issued a notice responding to
the comments received on the proposed
New Starts policy changes and draft
Program Guidance, announcing the final
policy changes and making available the
final Program Guidance.
The statutory language in section
5309(e) of Title 49, United States Code,
which establishes the Small Starts
category, provides for some significant
differences for the Small Starts program
in comparison to the requirements for
larger New Starts projects in section
5309(d). The eligibility for funding is
broader, including certain ‘‘corridorbased bus capital projects,’’ rather than
only new ‘‘fixed guideway’’ systems and
extensions. As noted above, projects are
limited to those with a proposed section
5309 amount of less than $75,000,000
and a total project cost of less than
$250,000,000. Recognizing the smaller
size of the projects to be funded, a
number of simplifications are put in
place. First, the project justification
criteria are simplified, focusing on three
criteria—cost-effectiveness, public
transportation supportive land use
policies, and effect on local economic
development—rather than the more
extensive list provided for in section
5309(d). The criteria for local financial
commitment have been simplified to
focus only on a shorter term financial
plan. The project development process
has three steps—alternatives analysis,
project development, and
construction—rather than the four
steps—alternatives analysis, preliminary
engineering, final design, and
construction—in the section 5309(d)
process. Finally, the instrument used for
implementing these Small Starts
projects is a ‘‘project construction grant
agreement,’’ which is to be structured as
a streamlined version of the ‘‘full
funding grant agreement’’ required for
larger New Starts projects under section
5309(d).
2. Summary
As noted in the May 22, 2006, notice,
FTA received numerous comments on
both the January 19, 2006, notice on
New Starts and the January 30, 2006
ANPRM on Small Starts. It has become
clear that the issues involved in
developing the New Starts/Small Starts
