Download as PDF 17136 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2022 / Notices award to consider applying for TIFIA credit assistance. Projects for which a MPDG application receives a Highly Recommended rating, as described in Section E, but that are not awarded, are automatically designated MPDG Extra Projects, unless the Department determines that they are not reasonably likely to satisfy the TIFIA project type (23 U.S.C. 601(a)(12)) and project size (23 U.S.C. 602(a)(5)) eligibilities. This designation provides the sponsors of these projects the opportunity to apply for TIFIA credit assistance for up to 49% of eligible project costs. Under current policy, TIFIA credit assistance is limited to 33% of eligible project costs unless the applicant provides strong rationale for requiring additional assistance. Projects designated as MPDG Extra Projects will be announced by the Secretary after MPDG award announcements are made. For further information about the TIFIA program in general, including details about the types of credit assistance available, eligibility requirements and the creditworthiness review process, please refer to the Build America Bureau Credit Programs Guide, available on the Build America Bureau website: https://www.transportation.gov /buildamerica/financing/programguide. Disclaimer: A MPDG Extra Project designation does not guarantee that an applicant will receive TIFIA credit assistance, nor does it guarantee that any award of TIFIA credit assistance will be equal to 49% of eligible project costs. Receipt of TIFIA credit assistance is contingent on the applicant’s ability to satisfy applicable creditworthiness standards and other Federal requirements. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 22, 2022. Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation.
