ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) and Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA)
announce the selection of projects for
the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Positive Train
Control (PTC) Grant Program. A total of
$197.01 million in the PTC grant
funding, authorized under the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation
(FAST) Act, will be provided to 17
projects in 13 states. On July 29, 2016,
FTA and FRA published a Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
announcing the availability of Federal
funding for the PTC Grant Program.
These funds will provide financial
assistance to states, local governments,
and public agencies for the
implementation of positive train control
systems to improve safety. Funds
allocated in this announcement must be
obligated in a grant by September 30,
2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Recipients selected for competitive
funding in Table 1 should contact the
appropriate FTA Regional Office for
information regarding applying for the
funds or program-specific information.
A list of FTA’s Regional Offices can be
found at www.fta.dot.gov. For questions
regarding PTC technology or statutory
and regulatory requirements, please
contact Mr. Devin Rouse, Program
Manager, Federal Railroad
Administration (phone: (202) 493–6185,
email: devin.rouse@dot.gov). A TDD is
available at 1–800–877–8339 (TDD/

of PTC systems. Project proposals were
evaluated based on each applicant’s
responses to the program evaluation
criteria outlined in the NOFO.
FTA is funding the 17 projects shown
in Table 1 for a total of $197.01 million.
Recipients selected for competitive
funding should work with their FTA
Regional Office to submit a grant
application in FTA’s transit award
management system (TrAMS) for the
projects identified in the attached table
to quickly obligate funds. As funds must
be obligated by September 30, 2018, all
grant applications must be submitted to
FTA by June 30, 2018. Grant
applications must include the eligible
activities applied for in the original
project application. Funds must be used
consistent with the competitive
proposal and for the eligible capital
purposes established in the NOFO.
In cases where the award amount is
less than the proposer’s total requested
amount, recipients must submit grant
applications to fund the scalable project
option as described in the project’s
application. If the award amount does
not correspond to the scalable option,
for example due to a cap on the award
amount, the recipient should work with
the FTA Regional Office to reduce scope
or scale the project so that a complete
phase or project is accomplished.
Recipients are reminded that program
requirements such as cost sharing or
local match can be found in the NOFO.
A discretionary project identification
number has been assigned to each
project for tracking purposes and must
be used in the TrAMS application.
On October 16, 2008, Congress
enacted the Railroad Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), which
required Class 1 railroad main lines and
commuter railroad passenger service to
fully implement positive train control
by December 31, 2015. In the Positive
Train Control Enforcement and
Implementation Act of 2015, Congress
extended the deadline for implementing
positive train control to December 31,
2018. FTA will streamline the grant
application process to help commuter
railroads meet the approaching
deadline. FTA is providing pre-award
authority and will reimburse eligible
project costs on successful projects
consistent with the selected project
proposals. The eligibility for
reimbursement using pre-award
authority is contingent upon the project
meeting other Federal requirements,
such as environmental requirements,
prior to costs being incurred. FTA is not
applying its regulation, 49 CFR part 633
Project Management Oversight to this
program. Furthermore, FTA waives the
requirement that projects be listed in the

Plan (STIP). Department of Labor (DOL)
certification is also not required. The
above waivers are only applicable to
funds awarded in this notice.
Post-award reporting requirements
include submission of the Federal
financial report and milestone progress
reports in TrAMS as appropriate (see
FTA Circular 5010.1E, Award
Management Requirements). Unless
specifically waived, recipients must
comply with all applicable Federal
statutes, regulations, executive orders,
FTA circulars, and other Federal
requirements in carrying out the project
supported by the FTA grant, including
FTA’s Buy America requirements.
Recipients must follow all third-party
procurement guidance as described in

Administration (FRA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) announce
the selection of projects for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Positive Train
Control (PTC) Grant Program. A total of $197.01 million in the PTC
grant funding, authorized under the Fixing America's Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act, will be provided to 17 projects in 13
states. On July 29, 2016, FTA and FRA published a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) announcing the availability of Federal funding for
the PTC Grant Program. These funds will provide financial assistance to
states, local governments, and public agencies for the implementation
of positive train control systems to improve safety. Funds allocated in
this announcement must be obligated in a grant by September 30, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Recipients selected for competitive
funding in Table 1 should contact the appropriate FTA Regional Office
for information regarding applying for the funds or program-specific
information. A list of FTA's Regional Offices can be found at
www.fta.dot.gov. For questions regarding PTC technology or statutory
and regulatory requirements, please contact Mr. Devin Rouse, Program
Manager, Federal Railroad Administration (phone: (202) 493-6185, email:
devin.rouse@dot.gov). A TDD is available at 1-800-877-8339 (TDD/FIRS).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the NOFO, FTA and FRA
received 27 proposals from 16 states requesting $455 million in Federal
funds, indicating significant demand for funding to expedite the
implementation of PTC systems. Project proposals were evaluated based
on each applicant's responses to the program evaluation criteria
outlined in the NOFO.
FTA is funding the 17 projects shown in Table 1 for a total of
$197.01 million. Recipients selected for competitive funding should
work with their FTA Regional Office to submit a grant application in
FTA's transit award management system (TrAMS) for the projects
identified in the attached table to quickly obligate funds. As funds
must be obligated by September 30, 2018, all grant applications must be
submitted to FTA by June 30, 2018. Grant applications must include the
eligible activities applied for in the original project application.
Funds must be used consistent with the competitive proposal and for the
eligible capital purposes established in the NOFO.
In cases where the award amount is less than the proposer's total
requested amount, recipients must submit grant applications to fund the
scalable project option as described in the project's application. If
the award amount does not correspond to the scalable option, for
example due to a cap on the award amount, the recipient should work
with the FTA Regional Office to reduce scope or scale the project so
that a complete phase or project is accomplished. Recipients are
reminded that program requirements such as cost sharing or local match
can be found in the NOFO. A discretionary project identification number
has been assigned to each project for tracking purposes and must be
used in the TrAMS application.
On October 16, 2008, Congress enacted the Railroad Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), which required Class 1 railroad main
lines and commuter railroad passenger service to fully implement
positive train control by December 31, 2015. In the Positive Train
Control Enforcement and Implementation Act of 2015, Congress extended
the deadline for implementing positive train control to December 31,
2018. FTA will streamline the grant application process to help
commuter railroads meet the approaching deadline. FTA is providing pre-
award authority and will reimburse eligible project costs on successful
projects consistent with the selected project proposals. The
eligibility for reimbursement using pre-award authority is contingent
upon the project meeting other Federal requirements, such as
environmental requirements, prior to costs being incurred. FTA is not
applying its regulation, 49 CFR part 633 Project Management Oversight
to this program. Furthermore, FTA waives the requirement that projects
be listed in the
[[Page 52096]]
Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). Department of Labor
(DOL) certification is also not required. The above waivers are only
applicable to funds awarded in this notice.
Post-award reporting requirements include submission of the Federal
financial report and milestone progress reports in TrAMS as appropriate
(see FTA Circular 5010.1E, Award Management Requirements). Unless
specifically waived, recipients must comply with all applicable Federal
statutes, regulations, executive orders, FTA circulars, and other
Federal requirements in carrying out the project supported by the FTA
grant, including FTA's Buy America requirements.
Recipients must follow all third-party procurement guidance as
described in FTA Circular 4220.1F Third Party Contracting Guidance.
