at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport,
Maxton, NC (MEB)
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration is requesting public
comment on a request by the Southeast
Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) on

following email address: FAA/Memphis
Airports District Office, Attn: Jamal R.
Stovall, Lead Community Planner,
Jamal.Stovall@faa.gov.
In addition, one copy of any
comments submitted to the FAA must

District Office, 2600 Thousand Oaks
Boulevard, Suite 2250, Memphis, TN
38118–2482, Jamal.Stovall@faa.gov or
901–322–8185. The application may be
reviewed in person at this same
location, by appointment.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
proposes to rule and invites public
comment on the request to release
property for disposal at the LaurinburgMaxton Airport (MEB), 16701 Airport
Rd, Maxton, NC 28364, under the
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). The
FAA determined that the request to
release property at Laurinburg-Maxton
Airport (MEB) submitted by the Sponsor
meets the procedural requirements of
the Federal Aviation Administration
and the release of these properties does
not and will not impact future aviation
needs at the airport. The FAA may
approve the request, in whole or in part,
no sooner than thirty days after the
publication of this notice.
The request consists of the following:
SRAA has proposed a land swap to
release ‘‘Parcel 1’’ (1.57 acres) and
acquire ‘‘Parcel 2’’ (3.22 acres) at the
Laurinburg-Maxton Airport (MEB)
located in Maxton, North Carolina. The
City of Laurinburg and Town of Maxton
jointly own the tract of land formerly
known as the Laurinburg-Maxton
Airbase. ‘‘Parcel 1’’ is a part of the
aforementioned lands which were
conveyed to the City of Laurinburg and
Town of Maxton by the United States of
America by Deed dated October 27,
1947, and recorded in Book 2–D, at Page
367, Scotland County Registry, and also
by Deed dated May 7, 1948, and
recorded in Book 2–E, at Page 49,
Scotland County Registry. The land
swap is being proposed so MEB can
release ‘‘Parcel 1’’ to the Richmond
Community College (RCC) to develop a
CDL driving training facility and acquire
‘‘Parcel 2’’ from Scottland County, NC.
The land for ‘‘Parcel 1’’ is no longer
required for current or future
aeronautical purposes and would not
prevent the accomplishment of the
public airport purpose for which the
airport facilities were obligated. This
request will release this property from
Federal obligations. This action is taken
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.
47107(h)(2).
Any person may inspect the request
in person at the FAA office listed above
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
In addition, any person may, upon
request, inspect the request, notice and
other documents germane to the request
in person at the Laurinburg-Maxton
Airport.

$390,045,823 for the Buses and Bus
Facilities Program. FTA is also making
additional prior year funding available
for this round, bringing the total
available funding to $390,198,372.
Federal public transportation law (49
U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M)) authorized
$74,963,762 in FY 2024 funds for the
Low or No Emission Grant Program. An
additional $1,029,000,000 was
appropriated under the 2021
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(also known as the ‘‘Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law’’), Public Law 117–
58, after accounting for the authorized
takedown for administrative and
oversight expenses and the Office of
Inspector General (OIG). After the
oversight takedown and transfer to the
OIG and the addition of prior year
funding, a total of $1,108,489,337 was
made available for the Low-No program
in FY 2024.
On February 8, 2024, FTA published
a joint Notice of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) announcing the availability of
approximately $390 million in FY 2024
Buses and Bus Facilities Program funds
and approximately $1.10 billion in LowNo funds (89 FR 8741). Consistent with
the NOFO, which stated that FTA ‘‘may
award additional funding that is made
available to the programs prior to the
announcement of project selections,’’
FTA is electing to add prior years’
unallocated funds for Buses and Bus
Facilities Program and Low-No to this
funding opportunity. These funds will
provide financial assistance to states
and eligible public agencies to replace,
rehabilitate, purchase, or lease buses,
vans, and related equipment; and for
capital projects to rehabilitate, purchase,
construct, or lease bus-related facilities.
For the Low-No Program, projects must
be directly related to the low or noemission vehicles within the fleet. In
response to the NOFO, FTA received
477 eligible project proposals totaling
approximately $9.0 billion in Federal
funds. Project proposals were evaluated
based on each applicant’s
responsiveness to the program
evaluation criteria outlined in the
NOFO.
Based on the criteria in the NOFO,
FTA is funding 62 projects, as shown in
Tables 1 and 2, for a total of
$1,107,355,187 for the Low-No Program
and 55 projects, as shown in Table 3, for
a total of $390,198,372 for the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program. A minimum of
15 percent of the amount made available
for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program
is set aside for projects located in rural
areas, which is reflected in FTA’s
selections. A statutory cap of 10 percent
for any one applicant in the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program is reflected as

well. A minimum of 25 percent of the
amount made available for the Low-No
Program is set aside for projects related
to the acquisition of low emission buses
or bus facilities. Recipients selected for
funding under the low-emission setaside are designated in Table 2, and may
implement only low emission projects.
Recipients selected for competitive
funding are required to work with their
FTA Regional Office to submit a grant
application in FTA’s Transit Award
Management System (TrAMS) for the
projects identified in the attached table
to quickly obligate funds. Grant
applications must include only eligible
activities applied for in the original
project application. Funds must be used
consistent with the competitive
proposal and for the eligible capital
purposes described in the NOFO.
Recipients selected for funding must
implement the project in accordance
with any additional considerations/
priority considerations that the
applicant indicated their intent to
comply with in Section IV of the
application’s Supplemental Form,
unless otherwise permitted by FTA.
This includes, but is not limited to, the
use of progress payments unless the
vehicle manufacturer identifies to the
recipient that it will provide a more
advantageous price in their absence.
In cases where the allocation amount
is less than the proposer’s total
requested amount, recipients are
required to fund the scalable project
option as described in the application.
If the award amount does not
correspond to the scalable option, the
recipient should work with the Regional
Office to reduce scope or scale the
project such that a complete phase or
project is accomplished. Recipients may
also provide additional local funds to
complete a proposed project. A
discretionary project identification
number has been assigned to each
project for tracking purposes and must
be used in the TrAMS application.
Selected projects are eligible to incur
costs under pre-award authority no
earlier than the date projects were
publicly announced. Pre-award
authority does not guarantee that project
expenses incurred prior to the award of
a grant will be eligible for
reimbursement, as eligibility for
reimbursement is contingent upon other
requirements, such as planning and
environmental requirements, having
been met. For more about FTA’s policy
on pre-award authority, please see the
current FTA Apportionments,
Allocations, and Program Information at
https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/
apportionments. Post-award reporting
requirements include submission of

Progress Reports in TrAMS (see FTA
Circular 5010.1E). Recipients must
comply with all applicable Federal
statutes, regulations, executive orders,
FTA circulars, and other Federal
requirements in carrying out the project
supported by the FTA grant. FTA
emphasizes that recipients must follow
all third-party procurement
requirements set forth in Federal public
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5325(a))
and described in the FTA Third Party
Contracting Guidance Circular (FTA
Circular 4220.1). Funds allocated in this
announcement must be obligated in a
grant by September 30, 2027.
Technical Review and Evaluation
Summary: FTA assessed all project
proposals that were submitted under the
FY 2024 Buses and Bus Facilities
Program and the Low-No Program
competition according to the following
evaluation criteria. The specific metrics
for each criterion were described in the
February 2024 NOFO:
1. Demonstration of Need
2. Demonstration of Benefits
3. Planning/Local Prioritization
4. Local Financial Commitment
5. Project Implementation Strategy
6. Technical, Legal, and Financial
Capacity
For each project, a technical review
panel assigned a rating of Highly
Recommended, Recommended, or Not
Recommended for each of the six
criteria. The technical review panel then
assigned an overall rating of Highly
Recommended, Recommended, Not
Recommended, or Ineligible to the
project proposal.
New in FY 2024, FTA introduced a
streamlined application for Tribal
applicants requesting less than $1
million in order to reduce the burden of
application for Tribes with smaller
requests and encourage more Tribal
applications. Such applicants were only
required to provide a full response to
Demonstration of Need and Local
Financial Commitment, and a shortened
response to Project Implementation
Strategy. Tribes with requests of less
than $1 million had to meet statutory
requirements, such as attaching a fleet
transition plan to zero-emission
applications, but did not need to
provide responses related to any
Administration priorities described as
additional considerations or priority
considerations in the NOFO or
application Supplemental Form.
Projects were assigned a final overall
rating of Highly Recommended if they
were rated Highly Recommended in at
least four categories overall, with no Not
Recommended ratings. Projects were
E:\FR\FM\26JYN1.SGM
26JYN1
60676
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 144 / Friday, July 26, 2024 / Notices
assigned a final overall rating of
Recommended if the projects had three
or more Recommended ratings and no
Not Recommended ratings. Projects
were assigned a rating of Not
Recommended if they received a Not
Recommended rating in any criteria. A
summary of the final overall ratings for
all 477 eligible project proposals is
shown in the table below.

As outlined in the NOFO, FTA made
the final selections based on the
technical ratings as well as geographic
diversity, diversity in the size of transit
systems receiving funding, additional
considerations/priority considerations,
including procurement methods to
reduce customization, intent to use
advance or progress payments, climate
change and sustainability, an
application’s zero-emission fleet
transition plan supporting a full fleet
transition, workforce involvement, the
creation of good-paying jobs, and the
Justice40 initiative.
As further outlined in the NOFO, in
some cases, due to funding limitations,
proposers who were selected for
funding received less than the amount
originally requested.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Transit Administration
Announcement of Fiscal Year 2024 Low or No Emission Program and
Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program and Project Selections
AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of project selections and implementation guidance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) announces the award of a total of $1,497,553,559,
including $1,107,355,187 to projects under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024
Low or No Emission Grant Program (Low-No) and $390,198,372 to projects
under the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program (Buses and Bus
Facilities Program) and provides administrative guidance on project
implementation.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Successful applicants should contact
the appropriate FTA Regional Office for information regarding applying
for the funds or program-specific information. A list of Regional
Offices can be found at https://www.transit.dot.gov/about/regional-offices/regional-offices. Unsuccessful applicants may contact Kirsten
Wiard-Bauer, Office of Program Management, at 202-366-7052 or email
[email protected] within 30 days of this announcement to arrange
a proposal debriefing. Unsuccessful applicants that received an overall
rating of Highly Recommended may potentially only receive feedback via
email. A TDD is available at 1-800-877-8339 (TDD/FIRS).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5339(b)) authorizes FTA to make competitive grants for the Buses and
Bus Facilities Program. Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5339(c)) authorizes FTA to make competitive grants for the Low-No
Program.
Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M))
authorized $393,559,749 in FY 2024 funds for the Buses and Bus
Facilities Program. After the oversight takedown of $3,513,926, the
total funding available is
[[Page 60675]]
$390,045,823 for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program. FTA is also
making additional prior year funding available for this round, bringing
the total available funding to $390,198,372.
Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5338(a)(2)(M))
authorized $74,963,762 in FY 2024 funds for the Low or No Emission
Grant Program. An additional $1,029,000,000 was appropriated under the
2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also known as the
``Bipartisan Infrastructure Law''), Public Law 117-58, after accounting
for the authorized takedown for administrative and oversight expenses
and the Office of Inspector General (OIG). After the oversight takedown
and transfer to the OIG and the addition of prior year funding, a total
of $1,108,489,337 was made available for the Low-No program in FY 2024.
On February 8, 2024, FTA published a joint Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) announcing the availability of approximately $390
million in FY 2024 Buses and Bus Facilities Program funds and
approximately $1.10 billion in Low-No funds (89 FR 8741). Consistent
with the NOFO, which stated that FTA ``may award additional funding
that is made available to the programs prior to the announcement of
project selections,'' FTA is electing to add prior years' unallocated
funds for Buses and Bus Facilities Program and Low-No to this funding
opportunity. These funds will provide financial assistance to states
and eligible public agencies to replace, rehabilitate, purchase, or
lease buses, vans, and related equipment; and for capital projects to
rehabilitate, purchase, construct, or lease bus-related facilities. For
the Low-No Program, projects must be directly related to the low or no-
emission vehicles within the fleet. In response to the NOFO, FTA
received 477 eligible project proposals totaling approximately $9.0
billion in Federal funds. Project proposals were evaluated based on
each applicant's responsiveness to the program evaluation criteria
outlined in the NOFO.
Based on the criteria in the NOFO, FTA is funding 62 projects, as
shown in Tables 1 and 2, for a total of $1,107,355,187 for the Low-No
Program and 55 projects, as shown in Table 3, for a total of
$390,198,372 for the Buses and Bus Facilities Program. A minimum of 15
percent of the amount made available for the Buses and Bus Facilities
Program is set aside for projects located in rural areas, which is
reflected in FTA's selections. A statutory cap of 10 percent for any
one applicant in the Buses and Bus Facilities Program is reflected as
well. A minimum of 25 percent of the amount made available for the Low-
No Program is set aside for projects related to the acquisition of low
emission buses or bus facilities. Recipients selected for funding under
the low-emission set-aside are designated in Table 2, and may implement
only low emission projects.
Recipients selected for competitive funding are required to work
with their FTA Regional Office to submit a grant application in FTA's
Transit Award Management System (TrAMS) for the projects identified in
the attached table to quickly obligate funds. Grant applications must
include only eligible activities applied for in the original project
application. Funds must be used consistent with the competitive
proposal and for the eligible capital purposes described in the NOFO.
Recipients selected for funding must implement the project in
accordance with any additional considerations/priority considerations
that the applicant indicated their intent to comply with in Section IV
of the application's Supplemental Form, unless otherwise permitted by
FTA. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of progress payments
unless the vehicle manufacturer identifies to the recipient that it
will provide a more advantageous price in their absence.
In cases where the allocation amount is less than the proposer's
total requested amount, recipients are required to fund the scalable
project option as described in the application. If the award amount
does not correspond to the scalable option, the recipient should work
with the Regional Office to reduce scope or scale the project such that
a complete phase or project is accomplished. Recipients may also
provide additional local funds to complete a proposed project. A
discretionary project identification number has been assigned to each
project for tracking purposes and must be used in the TrAMS
application.
Selected projects are eligible to incur costs under pre-award
authority no earlier than the date projects were publicly announced.
Pre-award authority does not guarantee that project expenses incurred
prior to the award of a grant will be eligible for reimbursement, as
eligibility for reimbursement is contingent upon other requirements,
such as planning and environmental requirements, having been met. For
more about FTA's policy on pre-award authority, please see the current
FTA Apportionments, Allocations, and Program Information at https://www.transit.dot.gov/funding/apportionments. Post-award reporting
requirements include submission of Federal Financial Reports and
Milestone Progress Reports in TrAMS (see FTA Circular 5010.1E).
Recipients must comply with all applicable Federal statutes,
regulations, executive orders, FTA circulars, and other Federal
requirements in carrying out the project supported by the FTA grant.
FTA emphasizes that recipients must follow all third-party procurement
requirements set forth in Federal public transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5325(a)) and described in the FTA Third Party Contracting Guidance
Circular (FTA Circular 4220.1). Funds allocated in this announcement
must be obligated in a grant by September 30, 2027.
Technical Review and Evaluation Summary: FTA assessed all project
proposals that were submitted under the FY 2024 Buses and Bus
Facilities Program and the Low-No Program competition according to the
following evaluation criteria. The specific metrics for each criterion
were described in the February 2024 NOFO:
1. Demonstration of Need
2. Demonstration of Benefits
3. Planning/Local Prioritization
4. Local Financial Commitment
5. Project Implementation Strategy
6. Technical, Legal, and Financial Capacity
For each project, a technical review panel assigned a rating of
Highly Recommended, Recommended, or Not Recommended for each of the six
criteria. The technical review panel then assigned an overall rating of
Highly Recommended, Recommended, Not Recommended, or Ineligible to the
project proposal.
New in FY 2024, FTA introduced a streamlined application for Tribal
applicants requesting less than $1 million in order to reduce the
burden of application for Tribes with smaller requests and encourage
more Tribal applications. Such applicants were only required to provide
a full response to Demonstration of Need and Local Financial
Commitment, and a shortened response to Project Implementation
Strategy. Tribes with requests of less than $1 million had to meet
statutory requirements, such as attaching a fleet transition plan to
zero-emission applications, but did not need to provide responses
related to any Administration priorities described as additional
considerations or priority considerations in the NOFO or application
Supplemental Form.
Projects were assigned a final overall rating of Highly Recommended
if they were rated Highly Recommended in at least four categories
overall, with no Not Recommended ratings. Projects were
[[Page 60676]]
assigned a final overall rating of Recommended if the projects had
three or more Recommended ratings and no Not Recommended ratings.
Projects were assigned a rating of Not Recommended if they received a
Not Recommended rating in any criteria. A summary of the final overall
ratings for all 477 eligible project proposals is shown in the table
below.
Overall Project Ratings

Not Recommended................................................. 50 30 80
-----------------------------------------------
Total....................................................... 263 214 477
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As outlined in the NOFO, FTA made the final selections based on the
technical ratings as well as geographic diversity, diversity in the
size of transit systems receiving funding, additional considerations/
priority considerations, including procurement methods to reduce
customization, intent to use advance or progress payments, climate
change and sustainability, an application's zero-emission fleet
transition plan supporting a full fleet transition, workforce
involvement, the creation of good-paying jobs, and the Justice40
initiative.
As further outlined in the NOFO, in some cases, due to funding
limitations, proposers who were selected for funding received less than
the amount originally requested.
