Section 1: Funding Opportunity
Description
1.1 Legislative Authority
This financial assistance
announcement is intended to solicit
proposals for high-speed and intercity
passenger rail projects under FRA’s
HSIPR program. The authority for this
grant program is contained in three
pieces of legislation:
• The Passenger Rail Investment and
Improvement Act of 2008 (Div. B of Pub.
L. 110–432, October 16, 2008) (PRIIA),
under Sections 301, 302, and 501:
Intercity Passenger Rail Service Corridor
Capital Assistance (codified at 49 U.S.C.
chapter 244), General Passenger Rail
Transportation (codified at 49 U.S.C.
24105), and High-Speed Rail Assistance
(codified at 49 U.S.C. 26106),
respectively;
• The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–
5, February 17, 2009) (ARRA or the
Recovery Act), under the title ‘‘Capital
Assistance for High Speed Rail
Corridors and Intercity Passenger Rail
Service;’’ and
• The Fiscal Year 2010 Consolidated
Appropriations Act (Title I of Div. A of
Pub. L. 111–117, December 16, 2009)
(FY 2010 DOT Appropriations Act),
under the title ‘‘Capital Assistance for
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
14443
High Speed Rail Corridors and Intercity
Passenger Rail Service.’’
1.2 Background
Since enactment of PRIIA, FRA has
made approximately $10.6 billion
available under the HSIPR program.
Award of these funds has served to
jump-start high-speed and intercity
passenger rail projects throughout the
country. However, recently it has
become clear that some of the funds
previously announced would not be
used to advance the originally intended
projects; in particular, approximately
$2.392 billion announced for the State
of Florida.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
applications—for eligible projects that
could immediately proceed to award—
for the approximately $2.392 billion
previously announced for Florida and
approximately $38 million in remaining
unallocated Recovery Act funding. This
notice is also intended to establish a
pipeline of meritorious projects that
could receive any other HSIPR funds
available at the time of award. These
other funds could include savings that
result from previously awarded projects
coming in under budget, funds
withdrawn from previously awarded
projects that are not proceeding
satisfactorily, any other appropriated
funds authorized under PRIIA and made
available through the remainder of this
fiscal year, or other sources.
The approximately $2.392 billion
previously announced for Florida
included funds provided both under the
Recovery Act and the FY 2010 DOT
Appropriations Act. Additional funds
awarded under this notice could be
provided from other sources. Therefore,
applicants should not be concerned
with applying for funds from a specific
appropriations statute; rather they
should seek to submit the best projects
that could be funded from any or all
such sources. Additionally, all
applicants are encouraged to contribute
non-Federal matching funds, a factor
that will be considered when evaluating
the merit of an application. While
applicants may identify any aspects of
their projects that might favor one or the
other appropriations statute (the
different requirements for each source of
funding are discussed in Sections 1.3, 3,
and 6), FRA will determine which
funding to provide to projects selected
for award at its own discretion.
However, applicants should note that
any projects receiving funding under the
Recovery Act must be able to be
obligated by September 30, 2012 and
completed by September 30, 2017—both
statutory requirements under the
Recovery Act.
