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 E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1
