Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For Users (Pub. L. 109-

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 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, 2007 by qualified applicants. If additional funding 
remains available, applications submitted after November 1, 2007 will 
be considered on a case-by-case basis. Funds will not be available for 
allocation until such time as FY2008 appropriations legislation is 
passed and signed into law.
