to be competitively awarded to a
qualified national organization. One
grant is for the provision of technical
assistance to rural transportation
projects. The other grant is for the
provision of technical assistance to rural
transportation projects operated by
FRNAT’s only. This notice will be
amended to publish final funding levels,
if any.
