ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has published an opportunity to apply 
for FY2007 Border Enforcement Grant (BEG) funding on the grants.gov Web 
site. Section 4110 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For Users established the BEG 
program. The program is a discretionary grant program that provides 
funding for border commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety programs and 
related enforcement activities and projects. An entity or a State that 
shares a land border with another country is eligible to receive grant 
funding. To apply for funding, applicants must register online with the 
grants.gov Web site (http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp), and submit an application in accordance with 
instructions provided. Applications for grant funding must be submitted 
electronically to the FMCSA through the grants.gov Web site.

DATES: FMCSA will initially consider funding of applications submitted 
by November 1, 2006 for qualified applicants. If additional funding 
remains available, applications submitted after November 1, 2006 will 
be considered on a case-by-case basis. Funds will not be available for 
allocation until such time as FY2007 appropriations legislation is 
passed and signed into law.
