The revised structure of the appendices and an overview of major updates is included below: • Appendix A: Required Prerequisite Documentation Æ This appendix was added to capture guidance for key documents recipients must certify before receiving awards. • Appendix B: Award Development Æ This appendix was added as a compilation of guidance previously provided across the program circulars. Appendix B is designed to provide instruction for preparing an FTA application, developing an award budget, and information regarding an approved award budget. The appendix covers topics during the pre-application stage, at application submission, for developing an award budget, executing award approvals, a recommended application checklist, and examples related to award management. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 • Appendix C: Post-Award Modification • Appendix D: Real Estate Acquisition Management Plan Æ The updates include minor reorganization of information to clarify elements of a Real Estate Acquisition Management Plan. 17:50 Feb 13, 2024 Æ Updates have been made to the list of elements included in the Rolling Stock Status Report to better align with requirements listed in the body of Chapter IV.

Æ A section ‘‘Cost Allocation Plan Review and Approval’’ has been added which consolidates the requirements for recipients to submit their Cost Allocation Plan for review and approval. • Appendix I: Indirect Cost Rate Proposals Æ Clarifying edits have been made throughout to enhance guidance surrounding the requirements for preparation, submission, and FTA approval of Indirect Cost Rate Proposals. Æ References to applicable 2 CFR part 200 requirements have been incorporated. Æ Cost Allocation Plan information has been moved incorporated into Appendix H. Closing Æ This appendix was added as a compilation of guidance previously provided across the program circulars. Appendix C has clarifications for common post-award changes. Postaward changes are primarily made through a revision to the award budget, an ‘‘administrative’’ amendment, or an amendment. The appendix provides enhanced guidance on the requirements for prior approval from FTA and more information on when either a budget revision, administrative amendment, or amendment is appropriate. VerDate Sep<11>2014 • Appendix F: Rolling Stock Status Report Jkt 262001 After a review and consideration of the comments provided on the updates proposed, FTA will publish the updated Award Management Requirements circular (C 5010.1) on its website. On October 5, 2023, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register to revise 2 CFR part 200 and other OMB guidance for grants and agreements (88 FR 69390). FTA intends to incorporate any changes in 2 CFR part 200 to the extent OMB issues the final rule before FTA publishes the updated circular. Nuria I. Fernandez, Administrator.
