SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: DOT Technical Assistance PRA.
Background: Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law (BIL) enacted as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (H.R.
3684, Pub. L. 117–58, also known as the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or BIL)
created several new programs at the US
Department of Transportation (DOT)
that allow local governments, non-profit
organizations, tribal governments, and
other political subdivisions of state or
local governments to apply directly for
DOT discretionary grant funding. In
response to President Biden’s Executive
Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity
and Support for Underserved
Communities Through the Federal
Government and Executive Order
14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at
Home and Abroad. DOT has included
criteria in its notices of funding
opportunity to prioritize the needs of
disadvantaged communities for many of
these new programs.
The Thriving Communities Initiative
will include programs by which DOT
will utilize cooperative agreements and
procurements with technical assistance
and capacity building providers to
support communities seeking to
advance transformative, equitable, and
climate-friendly infrastructure projects
that benefit disadvantaged communities.
Specifically, these include the Thriving
Communities program, the Rural and
Tribal Infrastructure Assistance Pilot
Program (see § 21205 of Pub. L. 117–58),
and Asset Concession and Innovative
Finance Assistance Program (see 23
U.S.C. 611 as amended by § 71001 of
Pub. L. 117–58).

DOT will utilize a Letter of Interest
(LOI) or using a simplified in-take form
from communities interested in
receiving technical assistance and
capacity building through these
programs. Technical assistance and
capacity building is offered by the
Government at no charge and with no
required non-federal share.
Establishment of the program has two
distinct tasks: (a) contracting of
technical assistance advisors through a
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
or existing procurement vehicles; and
(b) recruitment of project sponsors who
will receive technical assistance
services. Responding to both will occur
on a voluntary basis, utilizing an
electronic platform.
For item A, eligible applicants to
provide technical assistance through the
Thriving Communities program will
request cooperative agreement funding
through an application process in
response to a published NOFO. The
application is planned as a one-time
information collection. DOT estimates
that it will take approximately 20 hours
to complete the NOFO application
process used to select capacity builders
under the Thriving Communities
program. DOT estimates the recipients
of Thriving Communities program
funding will spend another 4 hours,
annually, submitting post-award
reports. In addition, reporting
requirements will be submitted by the
select capacity building providers and
technical assistance recipients during
the implementation, and evaluation
phases.
For the Rural and Tribal Infrastructure
Assistance Pilot Program and Asset
Concession and Innovative Finance
Assistance Program, advisors and
technical assistance providers will be
contracted using existing procurement
vehicles. Estimated time required for
these programs will be 4 hours
annually.
For item B, the intake form to be used
by communities seeking technical
assistance is estimated to take no more
than 1 hour to complete. Recipients of
technical assistance support are
estimated to spend no more than 2
hours annually providing evaluation
metrics.
Respondents to Item A (technical
assistance providers): for-profit
companies, non-profit organizations, or
other technical assistance providers.
Respondents to Item B (requestors of
technical assistance): philanthropic
entities, non-profit organizations, other
Federal agencies, state or local
governments and their agencies, and
Indian Tribes.
Frequency: Once a year.
