Customer Service Survey of FTA Circular 4220.1D, Third Party 
Contracting Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (``FTA'') is publishing a 
notice of its Customer Service Survey for FTA Circular 4220.1D. The 
objective of this survey is to assess the degree to which the changes 
implemented in FTA Circular 4220.1D (``Circular'') have met the needs 
of grant recipients and contractors (including Disadvantaged Business 
Enterprises) in accomplishing their procurement function. Many of your 
comments may also provide useful information for the preparation of a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Third Party Procurement Requirements, 
which will be issued by FTA later this year. In addition, suggestions 
and ideas are being sought for improvement in the Circular and other 
procurement related documents such as the Best Practices Procurement 
Manual.

DATES: Survey responses due by May 14, 1999.

ADDRESSES: All responses to the survey should be mailed to: Leon Snead 
& Company, P.C.; 416 Hungerford Drive, Suite 400; Rockville, Maryland 
20850.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lucy Jackson, (202) 366-4980 or 
Mr. Reginald Lovelace, (202) 366-2654, Office of Procurement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Customer Service Survey should take no 
more than thirty (30) minutes to complete. Your prompt response will 
insure that you play a meaningful role in the maintenance and continual 
updating of the Best Practices Procurement Manual and the 
administrative and regulatory requirements imposed in FTA Circular 
4220.1D. FTA's goal is to reduce the unnecessarily burdensome 
requirements imposed upon our customers while providing an enhanced 
level of technical assistance.

    You are encouraged to distribute copies of the survey to other 
individuals who are directly and/or indirectly involved in the 
procurement process. It will be helpful to FTA to hear all of their 
perspectives. The responses to the survey will remain confidential. The 
information provided and the resultant findings will not be associated 
with any individual or organization.

    Issued on May 3, 1999.
Gordon J. Linton,
Administrator.
