FTA Fiscal Year 2004 Apportionments, Allocations and Program 
Information; Notice of Supplemental Information, Changes, and 
Corrections

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice makes fiscal year (FY) 2004 transit funds 
available for obligation based on program funding levels authorized by 
the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-202), and 
notes changes and corrections to the FTA notice entitled ``FTA Fiscal 
Year 2004 Apportionments, Allocations and Program Information; 
Notice,'' which was published in the Federal Register on February 11, 
2004 (69 FR 6726).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The appropriate FTA Regional 
Administrator or Mary Martha Churchman, Director, Office of Resource 
Management and State Programs, (202) 366-2053.

I. Funds Available for Obligation

    The ``Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004'' (Pub. L. 108-
202) was signed into law by President Bush on February 29, 2004. The 
Act provides an extension of programs funded from the Highway Trust 
Fund, pending enactment of a law reauthorizing the Transportation 
Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and provides contract 
authority for transit programs from October 1, 2003 through April 30, 
2004.
    FTA has revised the apportionment and allocation tables published 
in the February 11, 2004, Federal Register notice to reflect the amount 
of FY 2004 funding that is currently available for obligation by 
grantees for the respective FTA program, in accordance with the Surface 
Transportation Extension Act of 2004, and the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2004 (Pub. L. 108-199, Division F). The revised 
tables are attached at the end of this notice.
    A column labeled ``Apportionment'' or ``Allocation'' in the revised 
tables includes both trust funds (contract authority) and general 
funds, and reflects the total dollar amount of obligation limitation 
and appropriations in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004, once 
full year contract authority is made available. This amount does not 
represent the amount that is actually available for obligation at this 
time. The amount shown in a column labeled ``Available Apportionment'' 
or ``Available Allocation'' is currently available for obligation.

II. Changes to FY 2004 Bus and Bus-Related Project Allocations

    Subsequent to publication of the February 11, 2004, Federal 
Register notice, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation 
received correspondence from Congress that clarified technical errors 
for FTA Bus and Bus-Related projects contained in the FY 2004 
Conference Report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2004. The clarifications are as follows:
    1. Of the $1,000,000 provided for Allegan County Transportations 
Services, Michigan, the conferees agree that the intended allocation 
for this project was $40,000. In addition, the conferees agree that 
$940,000 shall be made available to Kalamazoo Metro Transit, Michigan. 
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 provides $80,000 to Berrian 
County Public Transportation, Michigan. It is the intention of the 
conferees that a total of $100,000 shall be made available for Berrien 
County, Michigan.
    2. Of the $765,000 allocated for the Berkshire Regional Transit 
Authority (BRTA) Buses and Fare Boxes, Massachusetts, the conferees 
would like $600,000 to go to Broome County Hybrid Buses, New York.
    3. The conferees indicate that the state identifier should be 
Missouri for the Kansas project designation ``KCATA buses and bus 
facilities, Kansas.''
    4. For the project designation that reads ``Los Angeles County, 
Circulator Buses, California,'' the conferees have indicated that the 
funds designated to Los Angeles County for this purpose should instead 
go to South Whittier, CA.
    5. Of the $2,500,000 designated to the ``Pioneer Valley Transit 
Authority (PVTA) buses, Massachusetts,'' project, the conferees would 
like $100,000 to go to the ``Yamill County buses and bus facilities, 
Oregon'' project.
    In addition, FTA has corrected an error in the Table 9 list of Bus 
and Bus-Related projects, in the February 11, 2004, Federal Register 
notice, to correctly show the ``Capital Metro Hybrid Electric Buses, 
Texas,'' project under TX (Texas) instead of MI (Michigan).
    FTA has incorporated the clarifications and correction. They are 
reflected in the revision to Table 9 included with this notice.

III. FTA Corrections

    The following corrections are noted to information in the February 
11, 2004, Federal Register notice.

     Page 6731, the heading on the table under 
paragraph F should read ``Small urbanized area included in TMA planning 
boundary.''
     Page 6768, the FY 2002 carryover allocation for 
the ``NY Tompkins Consolidated Area transit center'' project should be 
$57,778 instead of $617,778. The remaining unobligated balance of 
$560,000 was allocated to the ``NY City of Kingston buses'' project in 
the amount of $240,000, and to ``NY City of Middletown buses and bus 
facilities'' project in the amount of $320,000, in accordance with 
clarification provided in the FY 2003 Conference Report accompanying 
the FY 2003 DOT Appropriations Act. See pages 11955 and 11957 of the 
FTA Fiscal Year 2003 Apportionments, Allocations and Program 
Information Notice, dated March 12, 2003.
     Page 6774, the descriptions for the following 
projects are amended to add the fiscal year of the funds:
     NY Bronx Zoo intermodal transportation facility, 
2001
     VT Vermont Agency of Transportation buses and 
bus facilities, 2001.

    Issued on: March 24, 2004.
Jennifer L. Dorn,
Administrator.
