Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 112 / Monday, June 10, 2024 / Notices competitive program. FTA already does not require a match for planning projects. FTA will still permit Tribes to voluntarily provide local match or contribute to their projects with eligible matching funds. 7. Should FTA retain the condition that indirect costs not exceed 10 percent of each TTP competitive grant allocation? Providing a cap on the percentage of a grant that can be applied to indirect costs reserves more funding for capital projects but may underestimate the true amount of indirect costs attributable to a project. Comments: One Tribe commented that the 10 percent is limited, while indirect cost expenses are significantly greater. Two Tribes commented to eliminate indirect cost eligibility. Another Tribe supported retaining the 10 percent indirect cost cap. Response: FTA will retain the condition that indirect costs do not exceed 10 percent of each TTP competitive grant allocation. This will ensure the limited competitive resources are spent on tangible transit services and equipment. 8. Should FTA continue to provide Tribes 90 days to submit applications under the TTP competitive program Notice of Funding Opportunity? In the past, FTA has had either a 60-day or a 90-day deadline for application submission under the TTP competitive program. Comments: Two Tribes commented that FTA should maintain the 90-day window to submit proposals. Response: Since 2022, proposals under the TTP competitive program have been required to be submitted within 90 days. FTA will continue to provide Tribes 90 days to submit proposals under the TTP competitive program Notice of Funding Opportunity. 9. Should FTA examine or alter any other aspect of the TTP competitive program? Comments: Several comments were received from Tribes requesting additional funding be made available under the TTP competitive program. One Tribe commented that FTA should consider listing examples of applications that were not funded. Response: In FY 2023, FTA allocated $9.9 million for capital, operating, and planning projects. The BIL includes nearly $46 million in competitive funding over five years for the TTP, an increase of nearly 83 percent. FTA will continue to offer debrief meetings to unsuccessful applicants. During the debrief, FTA explains why the competitive application was not funded and provides technical assistance that is VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Jun 07, 2024 Jkt 262001 intended to assist the Tribe in submitting a more competitive application in a subsequent competition. Since 2023, FTA has conducted approximately 20 debriefs for unsuccessful Tribal applicants. FTA also asked whether any Tribes had comments about the administration of the TTP formula program, however no comments were received on that topic. D. Tribal Transit Technical Assistance Improvements Through the Tribal Transit Technical Assistance Assessments Initiative, FTA collaborates with TTP recipients to review processes and identify areas in need of improvement, and then assists by offering solutions to address these needs—all in a supportive manner that results in technical assistance. These assessments include discussions of compliance areas pursuant to FTA’s Master Agreement (https:// www.transit.dot.gov/funding/granteeresources/sample-fta-agreements/ftagrant-agreements), site visits, promising practices reviews, and technical assistance from FTA and its contractors. These assessments also provide FTA with opportunities to learn more about Tribal perspectives. To date, FTA has conducted 105 assessments and will conduct 34 additional assessments by the end of the FY 2024 assessment cycle. FTA also offers technical assistance to Tribes through its National Rural Transit Assistance Program (National RTAP) (https://www.nationalrtap.org/) and FTA Regional Offices (https:// www.transit.dot.gov/about/regionaloffices/regional-offices) provide direct technical assistance to Tribal recipients in their respective regions. FTA sought comments on its technical assistance efforts through the following question: 1. How can FTA improve its technical assistance efforts for Tribal recipients? Comments: Two commenters requested more training resources for TrAMS and National Transit Database reporting. Two Tribes commented that more training should be available for transit planning and resources for the implementation of start-up transit services. Response: FTA will continue to improve, enhance, and expand technical assistance efforts for TrAMS and NTD. National RTAP offers resources for Tribal and rural transit providers and will continue to offer those resources and expand their technical assistance to include trainings on the implementation of a Tribal transit system. Some of the currently available National RTAP resources can be found at: https:// PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48955 www.nationalrtap.org/Toolkits/TransitManagers-Toolkit/Tribal-Transit/ Welcome.
