SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has published an opportunity to apply

on the grants.gov Web site (http://www.grants.gov). Section 4128 of the 
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
Legacy For Users (SAFETEA-LU) establishes the Safety Data Improvement 
Program Grant Program Opportunity. The legislation supports a 
discretionary grant program that provides funding for States to improve 
the quality of crash and inspection truck and bus data reported by the 
States to FMCSA, as defined in Section 31102 of Title 49, United States 
Code. Eligible awardees can include a State agency located in one of 
the fifty States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Northern 
Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. To 
apply for funding, applicants must be registered with grants.gov. 
Registration with grants.gov may take two to five days before the 
system will allow you to apply for grants using the grants.gov Web site 
(http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp). Submit 
application in accordance with the instructions provided. Applications 
for grant funding must be submitted electronically to the FMCSA through 
the grants.gov Web site. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 
(CFDA) number for Safety Data Improvement Program is 20.234.

DATES: FMCSA will initially consider funding for applications submitted 
by March 31, 2007, by qualified applicants. If additional funding 
remains available, applications submitted after March 31, 2007 will be 
considered on a case-by-case basis. Funds will not be available for 
allocation until fiscal year 2007 appropriations legislation is passed 
and signed into law. Funding is subject to reductions resulting from 
obligation limitations or rescissions as specified in SAFETEA-LU or 
other legislation.
