FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact the appropriate FTA regional Tribal Liaison (Appendix A) for application-specific information and issues. For general program information, contact Lorna R. Wilson, Office of Transit Programs, at (202) 366–2053, email: Lorna.Wilson@dot.gov. A TDD is available at 1–800–877–8339 (TDD/ FIRS). The Tribal Transit Program (TTP) established by Section 3013 SAFETEA–LU, Public Law 109–49 (August 15, 2005), under 49 U.S.C. 5311(c) makes funds available to federally recognized Indian tribes or Alaska Native villages, groups, or communities as identified by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in the U.S. Department of the Interior for public transportation capital projects, operating costs and planning activities that are eligible costs under the Nonurbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5311). A total of $7.92 million was made available for the program in FY 2006. A total of 95 applicants requested $22.1 million for funding for new transit SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: service, enhancement or expansion of existing transit services, or planning studies and operational planning. The applications also included an additional $41,767,031 in requests for future year funds. FTA made project selections through a competitive process based on each applicant’s responsiveness to the programs evaluation criteria outlined in FTA’s August 15, 2006, Federal Register Notice: Notice of Funding Availability and Solicitation for FY 2006 TTP (71 FR 46959). FTA evaluated applications for planning grants on a pass/fail basis, whereas FTA evaluated applications for start up and existing transit services on a numeric score system. Because of the high demand for the funds available, many applicants selected for funding will receive less funding than they requested to enable FTA to support more of the most meritorious applications. However, all of the most highly qualified applicants received some funding. This notice only addresses FY 2006 funding for projects. Tribes that sought funding for a multi-year project in response to the FY 2006 solicitation must submit a new application in response to the FY 2007 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in order to be considered for FY 2007 funding. The selected projects, providing $7.92 million to 63 tribes, breaks down as follows: $834,965 for transit planning studies and/or operational planning, $3,168,861 million for startup projects for new transit service, and $3,916,354 for enhancements or expansion of exiting transit services. Each of the 63 awardees, as well as the 32 applicants who were not selected for funding, will receive a letter explaining the funding decision. The successful applicants for FY 2006 are listed below. Tribes that were not selected for the FY 2006 TTP will be invited to participate in FTA sponsored Tribal Technical Assistance Program workshops and events. One goal of the program is to better equip a tribe to compete for future year funding. This technical assistance will be open to all tribes. Following publication of this notice, FTA regional offices will conduct a new grantee orientation. FTA’s regional tribal liaison will contact each applicant selected for funding to discuss scheduling and event logistics.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tribal Transit Program (TTP) established 
by Section 3013 SAFETEA-LU, Public Law 109-49 (August 15, 2005), under 
49 U.S.C. 5311(c) makes funds available to federally recognized Indian 
tribes or Alaska Native villages, groups, or communities as identified 
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in the U.S. Department of the 
Interior for public transportation capital projects, operating costs 
and planning activities that are eligible costs under the Nonurbanized 
Area Formula Program (Section 5311).
    A total of $7.92 million was made available for the program in FY 
2006. A total of 95 applicants requested $22.1 million for funding for 
new transit service, enhancement or expansion of existing transit 
services, or planning studies and operational planning. The 
applications also included an additional $41,767,031 in requests for 
future year funds. FTA made project selections through a competitive 
process based on each applicant's responsiveness to the programs 
evaluation criteria outlined in FTA's August 15, 2006, Federal Register 
Notice: Notice of Funding Availability and Solicitation for FY 2006 TTP 
(71 FR 46959). FTA evaluated applications for planning grants on a 
pass/fail basis, whereas FTA evaluated applications for start up and 
existing transit services on a numeric score system. Because of the 
high demand for the funds available, many applicants selected for 
funding will receive less funding than they requested to enable FTA to 
support more of the most meritorious applications. However, all of the 
most highly qualified applicants received some funding.
    This notice only addresses FY 2006 funding for projects. Tribes 
that sought funding for a multi-year project in response to the FY 2006 
solicitation must submit a new application in response to the FY 2007 
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in order to be considered for FY 
2007 funding.
    The selected projects, providing $7.92 million to 63 tribes, breaks 
down as follows: $834,965 for transit planning studies and/or 
operational planning, $3,168,861 million for startup projects for new 
transit service, and $3,916,354 for enhancements or expansion of 
exiting transit services. Each of the 63 awardees, as well as the 32 
applicants who were not selected for funding, will receive a letter 
explaining the funding decision. The successful applicants for FY 2006 
are listed below.
    Tribes that were not selected for the FY 2006 TTP will be invited 
to participate in FTA sponsored Tribal Technical Assistance Program 
workshops and events. One goal of the program is to better equip a 
tribe to compete for future year funding. This technical assistance 
will be open to all tribes.
    Following publication of this notice, FTA regional offices will 
conduct a new grantee orientation. FTA's regional tribal liaison will 
contact each applicant selected for funding to discuss scheduling and 
event logistics.
