SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice provides a summary of the
proposed changes to Circular 7050.1B.
The Circular itself is not included in
this notice; instead, a redline version of
the updated Circular showing the
proposed changes is posted in Docket
FTA–2022–0038.
FTA is proposing to update Circular
7050.1B, to add ‘‘technology to fuel a
zero-emission vehicle’’ as an eligible
joint development improvement under
FTA programs. Recipients of assistance
for these improvements must collect
fees for the use of the charging facilities
unless exceptions apply.
Sec. 30001 of the BIL amended
section 5302 of title 49, United States
Code, by adding section
5302(4)(G)(vi)(XV); revising section
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Jan 27, 2023
Jkt 259001
5302(4)(G)(iv); and reordering Sections
5302(4)(G)(i–vi).1 Section
5302(4)(G)(vi)(XV) added ‘‘technology to
fuel a zero-emission vehicle’’ as an
eligible joint development improvement
under the definition of a ‘‘Capital
Project.’’
Section 5302(4)(G)(iv) provides that
‘‘if equipment to fuel privately owned
zero-emission passenger vehicles is
installed, the recipient of assistance
shall collect fees from users of the
equipment in order to recover the costs
of construction, maintenance, and
operation of the equipment.’’ FTA is
proposing to add this language to the
Circular on pages III–7 and VI–4—VI–5,
with the following clarifying language:
‘‘The recipient of assistance shall be
required to collect fees from usage only
if the equipment is used primarily by
privately-owned passenger vehicles. Fee
collection may also be waived if the
recipient demonstrates in the joint
development application that the cost to
install a fee collection system is more
than the recipient anticipates collecting
from users of the equipment. The
method of fee collection in all
circumstances is at the discretion of the
site host and/or recipient of FTA
assistance.’’
This update of Circular 7050.1B is a
direct implementation of a statutory
change. FTA recommends that
interested stakeholders review the
proposed changes to the Circular and
provide comment on any impacts these
proposed changes may have on future
joint development projects.
After a review and consideration of
the comments provided on these
changes, FTA will publish the updated
Circular on its website. No other
changes to the Circular are being
proposed at this time.
