Federal Transit Administration


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

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration (FTA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces that FTA will make available the entire 
amount of the annual apportionments and allocations when Congress 
extends

[[Page 44711]]

the transit program authorization through September 30, 2004. The 
Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004, Part III (Pub. L. 108-
263) extended transit programs only through July 31, 2004. FTA has 
published three previous documents identifying total annual 
apportionments and funds available for obligation based on extensions 
of the authorization through February 29, April 30, and June 30, 2004. 
The previously announced available allocations remain available. This 
notice also identifies reductions to the previously published fiscal 
year (FY) 2004 full year bus and bus-related allocations to correct an 
administrative error.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The appropriate FTA Regional 
Administrator (see list at end of notice: note change of contact 
information for Region 8) or Mary Martha Churchman, Director, Office of 
Resource Management and State Programs, (202) 366-2053.

ADDRESSES: Address, telephone, and facsimile information for the FTA 
Regional Offices is listed at the end of this notice in Appendix A.

I. Funds Available for Obligation

    The ``Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2004, Part III'' 
(Pub. L. 108-263) was signed into law by President Bush on June 30, 
2004. The Act provides an extension of programs funded under the 
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), pending 
enactment of a law reauthorizing TEA-21, and provides available funding 
for transit programs from October 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
    Due to the short duration of the extension, and because Congress is 
expected to make the remainder of the annual funding available after 
July 31, FTA is not making additional funding available for immediate 
obligation at this time. The available amounts published in the 
supplemental Federal Register notice on June 3, 2004, remain available. 
The tables are posted on the FTA Web site at [http://www.fta.dot.gov/25_ENG_HTML.htm], together with that notice, and have been 
distributed to grantees by each FTA Regional Office.

II. Changes to Bus and Bus-Related Project Allocations

    In the previously published tables of FY 2004 bus and bus-related 
projects, FTA failed to include two projects that Congress designated 
to receive annual funding in TEA-21 and its subsequent extensions: the 
Altoona Bus Testing Facility, and the fuel cell bus project conducted 
by Georgetown University. These projects were not listed in the 
conference report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2004, but should have been included in the allocation of funds under 
the FY 2004 bus and bus-related program. The addition of these two 
projects to FY 2004 bus and bus-related projects and activities to 
which the appropriated funds must be distributed results in a reduction 
to the annual allocation for each of the other projects. FTA regrets 
any inconvenience resulting from this necessary administrative 
correction. When the full year allocation becomes available for 
obligation, it will be at the reduced level listed in the Revised Table 
9 in this Notice.

    Issued on: July 21, 2004.
Jennifer L. Dorn,
Administrator.
