Most applicant analyses will be more
complicated than this example and will
likely include several benefit categories.
However, the summary cost and benefit
data should be as transparent and as
easy to follow and replicate as the
example above.
Appendix B: Additional Information on
Applying Through Grants.gov
Applications (Stage 2) for TIGER II
Discretionary Grants must be submitted
through Grants.gov. To apply for
funding through Grants.gov, applicants
must be properly registered. Complete
instructions on how to register and
apply can be found at https://
www.grants.gov. If interested parties
experience difficulties at any point
during registration or application
process, please call the Grants.gov
Customer Support Hotline at 1–800–
518–4726, Monday–Friday from 7 a.m.
to 9 p.m. EST.
Registering with Grants.gov is a onetime process; however, processing
delays may occur and it can take up to
several weeks for first-time registrants to
receive confirmation and a user
password. It is highly recommended
that applicants start the registration
process as early as possible to prevent
delays that may preclude submitting an
application by the deadlines specified.
Applications will not be accepted after
the relevant due date; delayed
registration is not an acceptable reason
for extensions. In order to apply for
TIGER II Discretionary Grant funding
under this announcement and to apply
for funding through Grants.gov, all
applicants are required to complete the
following:
1. Acquire a DUNS Number. A DUNS
number is required for Grants.gov
registration. The Office of Management
and Budget requires that all businesses
and nonprofit applicants for Federal
funds include a DUNS (Data Universal
Numbering System) number in their
applications for a new award or renewal
of an existing award. A DUNS number
is a unique nine-digit sequence
recognized as the universal standard for
identifying and keeping track of entities
receiving Federal funds. The identifier
is used for tracking purposes and to
validate address and point of contact
information for Federal assistance
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. The DUNS number will be
used throughout the grant life cycle.
Obtaining a DUNS number is a free,
one-time activity. Obtain a DUNS
number by calling 1–866–705–5711 or
by applying online at https://
www.dunandbradstreet.com.
2. Acquire or Renew Registration with
the Central Contractor Registration
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:56 Apr 23, 2010
Jkt 220001
(CCR) Database. All applicants for
Federal financial assistance maintain
current registrations in the Central
Contractor Registration (CCR) database.
An applicant must be registered in the
CCR to successfully register in
Grants.gov. The CCR database is the
repository for standard information
about Federal financial assistance
applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. Organizations that have
previously submitted applications via
Grants.gov are already registered with
CCR, as it is a requirement for
Grants.gov registration. Please note,
however, that applicants must update or
renew their CCR registration at least
once per year to maintain an active
status, so it is critical to check
registration status well in advance of
relevant application deadlines.
Information about CCR registration
procedures can be accessed at https://
www.ccr.gov.
3. Acquire an Authorized
Organization Representative (AOR) and
a Grants.gov Username and Password.
Complete your AOR profile on
Grants.gov and create your username
and password. You will need to use
your organization’s DUNS Number to
complete this step. For more
information about the registration
process, go to https://www.grants.gov/
applicants/get_registered.jsp.
4. Acquire Authorization for your
AOR from the E-Business Point of
Contact (E-Biz POC). The E-Biz POC at
your organization must login to
Grants.gov to confirm you as an AOR.
Please note that there can be more than
one AOR for your organization.
5. Search for the Funding Opportunity
on Grants.gov. Please use the following
identifying information when searching
for the TIGER II funding opportunity on
Grants.gov. The Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for
this solicitation is 20.933, titled Surface
Transportation Infrastructure
Discretionary Grants for Capital
Investments II.
6. Submit an Application Addressing
All of the Requirements Outlined in this
Funding Availability Announcement.
Within 24–48 hours after submitting
your electronic application, you should
receive an email validation message
from Grants.gov. The validation message
will tell you whether the application
has been received and validated or
rejected, with an explanation. You are
urged to submit your application at least
72 hours prior to the due date of the
application to allow time to receive the
validation message and to correct any
problems that may have caused a
rejection notification.

Experiencing Unforeseen Grants.gov
Technical Issues
If you experience unforeseen
Grants.gov technical issues beyond your
control that prevent you from
submitting your application by the
deadline, you must contact Robert
Mariner at 202–366–8914 or
Robert.Mariner@dot.gov within 24 hours
after the deadline and request approval
to submit your application. At that time,
DOT staff will require you to email the
complete grant application, your DUNS
number, and provide a Grants.gov Help
Desk tracking number(s). After DOT
staff review all of the information
submitted as well as contacts the
Grants.gov Help Desk to validate the
technical issues you reported, DOT staff
will contact you to either approve or
deny your request to submit a late
application. If the technical issues you
reported cannot be validated, your
application will be rejected as untimely.
To ensure a fair competition for
limited discretionary funds, the
following conditions are not valid
reasons to permit late submissions: (1)
Failure to complete the registration
process before the deadline date; (2)
failure to follow Grants.gov instructions
on how to register and apply as posted
on its Web site; (3) failure to follow all
of the instructions in the funding
availability notice; and (4) technical
issues experienced with the applicant’s
computer or information technology (IT)
environment.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics invites the
general public, industry and other
governmental parties to comment on the
continuing need for and usefulness of
DOT requiring large certificated air
carriers to file ‘‘On-Time Flight
Performance Reports’’ and ‘‘MishandledBaggage Reports’’ pursuant to 14 CFR
234.4 and 234.6. These reports are used
to monitor the quality of air service that
major air carriers are providing the
flying public. The Federal Aviation
Administration uses the On-Time Flight
Performance Reports to identify
problem areas within the air traffic
control system.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by June 25, 2010.

Title: Airline Service Quality
Performance—Part 234.
Form No.: BTS Form 234.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Large certificated air
carriers that account for at least 1
percent of the domestic scheduled
passenger revenues.
Number of Respondents: 18.
Number of Responses: 216.
Total Burden per Response: 20 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 4,320 hours.
Needs and Uses:
Consumer Information
Part 234 gives air travelers
information concerning their chances of
on-time flights and the rate of
mishandled baggage by the 18 largest
scheduled domestic passenger carriers.
Reducing and Identifying Traffic Delays
The Federal Aviation Administration
uses part 234 data to pinpoint and
analyze air traffic delays. Wheels-up
and wheels-down times are used in
conjunction with departure and arrival
times to show the extent of ground
delays. Actual elapsed flight time,
wheels-down minus wheels-up time, is
compared to scheduled elapsed flight
time to identify airborne delays. The
reporting of aircraft tail number allows
the FAA to track an aircraft through the
air network, which enables the FAA to
study the ripple effects of delays at hub
airports. The data can be analyzed for
airport design changes, new equipment
purchases, the planning of new runways
or airports based on current and
projected airport delays, and traffic
levels. The identification of the reason
for delays allows the FAA, airport
operators, and air carriers to pinpoint
delays under their control.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires
a statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative
matters.
