(OTRB) Accessibility Program, authorized by the Transportation Equity 
Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The OTRB Accessibility Program makes 
funds available to private operators of over-the-road buses to help 
finance the incremental capital and training costs of complying with 
DOT's over-the-road bus accessibility regulation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The appropriate FTA Regional 
Administrator for grant-specific issues; or Blenda Younger, Office of 
Program Management, 202-366-2053, for general information about the

charter, and tour operators. A total of 127 applicants requested $35.1 
million: $17.3 million was requested by intercity fixed-route 
providers, and $17.8 million was requested by all other providers. 
Project selections were made on a discretionary basis, based on each 
applicant's responsiveness to statutory project selection criteria, 
fleet size, and level of funding received in previous years. Because of 
the high demand for the funds available, most successful applicants 
received less funding than they requested, and applicants with weaker

provide funding for the incremental cost of adding lifts to 94 new 
vehicles, retrofitting 118 vehicles, and $70,765 for training. Each of

    Eligible project costs may be incurred by awardees prior to final 
grant approval. The incremental capital cost for adding wheelchair lift 
equipment to any new vehicles delivered on or after June 9, 1998, the 
effective date of Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-
21), is eligible for funding under the OTRB Accessibility Program.
    Applicants selected for funding may be contacted by FTA regional 
offices if additional information is needed before grants are made. 
Awards are processed through FTA's electronic grants management system, 
TEAM-WEB, and the project ID listed will be used to track the 
obligation of funds for the projects selected. The grant applications 
will be sent to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) for certification 
under labor protection requirements pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5333(b). 
After referring applications to affected employees represented by a 
labor organization, DOL will issue a certification to FTA. Terms and 
conditions of the certification will be incorporated in the FTA grant 
agreement under the new guidelines, replacing those in 29 CFR Part 215. 
Please see Amendment to Section 5333(b), Guidelines to Carry Out New 
Programs Authorized by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st 
Century (TEA-21); Final Rule (64 FR 40990, July 28, 1999).

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 28th day of November, 2006.
