On March 10, 2014, the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
published a notice in the Federal
Register apportioning funds
appropriated by law. The notice
provided information on the FY 2014
funding available for the FTA assistance
programs, and provides program
guidance and requirements, and
information on several program issues
important in the current year. This
notice provides a needed correction to
that notice regarding pre-award
authority.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general information about this notice
contact Jamie Pfister, Director, Office of
Transit Programs, at (202) 366–2053.
Please contact the appropriate FTA
regional office for any specific requests
for information or technical assistance.
A list of FTA regional offices and
contact information is available on the
FTA Web site under the heading
‘‘Regional Offices’’ at https://
www.fta.dot.gov. An FTA headquarters
contact for each major program area is
included in the discussion of that
program in the text of the notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In the Federal Register of March 10,
2014 in FR Doc. 14–4759, on page
13482, in the second column, correct
the sixth and seventh paragraphs to read
as follows:
SUMMARY:
‘‘FTA has modified its approach to preaward authority, and the date that costs may
be incurred is as follows. For design and
environmental review, costs may be incurred
as of the date of the authorization of formula
funds or the date of the announcement of the
discretionary allocation of funds for the
project. For property acquisition, demolition,
construction, and acquisition of vehicles,
equipment, or construction materials for
projects that qualify for a categorical
exclusion pursuant to 23 CFR 771.118(c),
costs may be incurred as of the date of the
authorization of formula funds or the date of
the announcement of the discretionary
allocation of funds for the project. For
property acquisition, demolition,
construction, and acquisition of vehicles,
equipment, or construction materials for
projects that require a categorical exclusion
pursuant to 23 CFR 771.118(d), an
environmental assessment, or an
environmental impact statement, costs may
be incurred as of the date that FTA completes
the environmental review process required
by NEPA and its implementing regulations
(i.e., through issuance of a Section 771.118(d)
categorical exclusion determination, a
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), or
a Record of Decision (ROD)). For pre-award
authority triggered by the completion of the
NEPA process, the completion of planning
and air quality requirements is a prerequisite,
as those activities are completed prior to
conclusion of the environmental review
process.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 15, 2014 / Notices
The requirement that a project be included
in a locally-adopted Metropolitan
Transportation Plan, the metropolitan
transportation improvement program and
federally approved statewide transportation
improvement program (23 CFR Part 450)
must be satisfied before the grantee may
advance the project beyond planning and
preliminary design with non-Federal funds
under pre-award authority triggered by the
completion of the NEPA process. If the
project is located within an EPA-designated
non-attainment or maintenance area for air
quality, the conformity requirements of the
Clean Air Act, 40 CFR Part 93, must also be
met before the project may be advanced into
implementation-related activities under preaward authority triggered by the completion
of the NEPA process. For projects that qualify
for a categorical exclusion pursuant to 23
CFR 771.118(c), if a project is subsequently
found not to qualify for this CE, it will be
ineligible for FTA assistance. For all other
projects, compliance with NEPA and other
environmental laws and executive orders
(e.g., protection of parklands, wetlands, and
historic properties) must be completed before
State or local funds are spent on
implementation activities, such as site
preparation, construction, and acquisition,
for a project that is expected to be
subsequently funded with FTA funds.’’
