Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 6, 2006 / Notices
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Section 5310, however, the data
collection requirements could change if
the performance measures are
implemented as drafted in the proposed
circulars. We invite comments to inform
our next submissions to OMB, and
invite comments on the reporting
requirements for New Freedom.
G. Chapter VII—State and Program
Management Plans
FTA requires States and designated
recipients responsible for implementing
the Section 5310, JARC, and New
Freedom (and Section 5311) programs to
document their approach to managing
the programs. Chapter VII proposes
guidance on how to create and use State
Management Plans (for the Statemanaged aspects of the programs), and
Program Management Plans (for
designated recipient-managed aspects of
the programs). The primary purposes of
Management Plans are to serve as the
basis for FTA management reviews of
the program, and to provide public
information on the administration of the
programs. FTA notes that Chapter VII in
the proposed circulars is largely a
restatement of the State Management
Plan chapter in the current Section 5310
Circular 9070.1E (Chapter VII). The
proposed chapter includes FTA’s
intention to make designated recipients
of the JARC and New Freedom programs
subject to management reviews.
In all three program circulars, the first
two parts of Chapter VII explain the
general requirements and purpose of
Management Plans. The third part,
‘‘Reviews,’’ differs slightly among the
programs. The Section 5310 circular
discusses only State Management
Reviews (as it is an entirely Statemanaged program), while the JARC and
New Freedom circulars discuss reviews
at both the State and designated
recipient level. The Reviews part of
Chapter VII is an addition to the current
Section 5310 circular.
The fourth part of Chapter VII
discusses the content of Management
Plans. The suggested content of State
and Program Management Plans is
essentially identical in all three
circulars, but the Section 5310 circular
reflects the fact that Section 5310 is
entirely State administered.
Management Plans are to include a
section on use of the 10% of the
apportionment available for
administration and technical assistance,
and a description of how the State or
designated recipient makes additional
resources available to local areas.
The State Management Plan content
for Section 5310 remains largely as it is
written in the current circular. Two
sections have been added regarding the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:44 Sep 05, 2006
Jkt 208001
use of the 10% for administration,
planning and technical assistance, and
transfer of funds, consistent with the
sections in the new proposed circulars.
The final part of Chapter VII, which
discusses revisions to the Management
Plan, is the same for all three circulars,
and mirrors the language in the existing
Section 5310 circular.
FTA received only one comment on
Chapter VII material, asking what type
of oversight will be applied in areas
with population under 200,000. In
response, FTA notes that in areas under
200,000 in population, the programs are
all exclusively State-managed.
Therefore, the State Management Plan
and State Management Review will be
used for oversight in these areas.
H. Chapter VIII—Other Provisions
This chapter is an expansion of the
current ‘‘Other Provisions’’ chapter in
the existing Section 5310 circular, and
is virtually the same for all three
circulars. Chapter VIII summarizes a
number of FTA-specific and other
Federal requirements that FTA grantees
are held to in addition to the programspecific requirements and guidance
provided in these circulars. This chapter
explains some of the most relevant
requirements and provides citations to
the actual statutory or regulatory text.
Grantees should use this document in
conjunction with FTA’s ‘‘Master
Agreement’’ and the current fiscal year
‘‘Certifications and Assurances’’ to
assure that they have met all
requirements. Grantees may contact
FTA Regional Counsel for more detail
about these requirements.
I. Appendices
The Appendices sections for the
Section 5310, JARC, and New Freedom
programs are intended as tools for
developing a grant application.
Appendix A specifically addresses steps
and instructions for preparing a grant
application, including pre-application
and application stages. Appendix A also
includes an application checklist and
information for registering with the
Electronic payment system (ECHO).
Appendix B includes a sample program
of projects. For the Section 5310
circular, Appendix C provides contact
information for FTA’s regional offices,
and Appendix D provides technical
assistance information. In the JARC and
New Freedom circulars, Appendix C
includes budget information and
provides specific activity line item (ALI)
codes for specific types of eligible costs
(i.e., capital, operating, planning, etc.).
A sample approved budget is included
in Appendix D. Appendix E provides
PO 00000
Frm 00097
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

contact information for each of FTA’s 10
regional offices.
Appendix D in Section 5310 and
Appendix F in the JARC and New
Freedom circulars list potential sources
of technical assistance. A number of
commenters identified a need to have
technical assistance available to specific
types of service providers, including
public and private transportation
providers, MPOs, and human service
agencies. Commenters also expressed a
need for technical assistance and
training relative to the coordinated
planning process. FTA supports a wide
range of technical assistance and
training initiatives that are available to
service providers and members of the
public. Each of the technical assistance
activities is outlined in Appendix F.
Issued in Washington, DC, this 30th day of
