improve their cybersecurity maturity,
and recommended practices for
information technology (IT) and
operational technology (OT) systems,
including a prioritized set of security
practices. Additionally, funding
recipients must be in compliance with
2 CFR 200.216 and the prohibition on
certain telecommunications and video
surveillance services or equipment.
Federal Contract Compliance: As a
condition of grant award and consistent
with E.O. 11246, Equal Employment
Opportunity (30 FR 12319, and as
amended), all Federally assisted
contractors are required to make good
faith efforts to meet the goals of 6.9
percent of construction project hours
being performed by women, in addition
to goals that vary based on geography
for construction work hours and for
work being performed by people of
color.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office
of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) is charged with
enforcing Executive Order 11246,
section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974.
OFCCP has a Mega Construction Project
Program through which it engages with
project sponsors as early as the design
phase to help promote compliance with
non-discrimination and affirmative
action obligations. OFCCP will identify
projects that receive an award under
this notice and are required to
participate in OFCCP’s Mega
Construction Project Program from a
wide range of Federally-assisted projects
over which OFCCP has jurisdiction and
that have a project cost above $35
million. DOT will require project
sponsors with costs above $35 million
that receive awards under this funding
opportunity to partner with OFCCP, if
selected by OFCCP, as a condition of
their DOT award.
Performance and Program Evaluation:
As a condition of grant award, grant
recipients may be required to participate
in an evaluation undertaken by DOT,
the FAA, or another agency or partner.
The evaluation may take different forms,
such as an implementation assessment
across grant recipients, an impact
and/or outcomes analysis of all or
selected sites within or across grant
recipients, or a benefit/cost analysis or
assessment of return on investment.
DOT may require applicants to collect
data elements to aid the evaluation. As
a part of the evaluation, as a condition
of award, grant recipients must agree to:
(1) make records available to the
evaluation contractor or DOT staff; (2)
provide access to program records and
any other relevant documents to

calculate costs and benefits; (3) in the
case of an impact analysis, facilitate the
access to relevant information as
requested; and (4) follow evaluation
procedures as specified by the
evaluation contractor or DOT staff.
Requested program records or
information will be consistent with
record requirements outlined in 2 CFR
200.334–338 and the grant agreement.

it will comply with all applicable
Federal statutes, regulations, executive
orders, directives, FAA circulars, and
other federal administrative
requirements in carrying out any project
supported by the FCT Competitive
Grant Program grant. The grant recipient
must acknowledge that it is under a
continuing obligation to comply with
the terms and conditions of the grant
agreement issued for its project with the
FAA. The grant recipient understands
that federal laws, regulations, policies,
and administrative practices might be
modified from time to time and may
affect the implementation of the project.
The grant recipient must agree that the
most recent Federal requirements will
apply to the project unless the FAA
issues a written determination
otherwise.
The grant recipient must submit the
Certifications at the time of grant
application and Assurances must be
accepted as part of the grant agreement
at the time of accepting a grant offer.
Grant recipients must also comply with
