ACTION: Announcement of Project Selections.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit 
Administration (FTA) announces the selection of projects to be funded 
under Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 appropriations for the Alternative 
Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) program, authorized by 
Section 3021 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 
Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users of 2005 (SAFETEA-LU) and 
codified in 49 U.S.C. 5320. The ATPPL program funds capital and 
planning expenses for alternative transportation systems in parks and 
public lands. Federal land management agencies and State, tribal and 
local governments acting with the consent of a Federal land management 
agency are eligible recipients.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Project sponsors who are State, local, 
or tribal entities may contact the appropriate FTA Regional 
Administrator (See Appendix A) for grant-specific issues. Project 
sponsors who are a Federal land management agency or a specific unit of 
a Federal land management agency should work with the contact listed

funds to that unit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A total of $23,000,000 was appropriated for 
FTA's ATPPL program in FY 2007. Of this amount, a maximum of 
$20,596,500 was available for project awards; $115,000 was reserved for 
oversight activities; and up to $2,300,000 was available for planning, 
research, and technical assistance. A total of 81 applicants requested 
$55 million, more than twice the amount available for projects, 
indicating strong competition for funds. An interagency technical 
review committee evaluated the project proposals based on the criteria 
defined in 49 U.S.C. 5320(g)(2). Then, as specified in Section 5320(g), 
the Secretary of the Interior's designee determined the final selection 
of projects after consultation with and in cooperation with the 
Secretary of Transportation's designee. For FY 2007, the program will 
fund 46 projects totaling $19,788,840.
    The goals of the program are to conserve natural, historical, and 
cultural resources; reduce congestion and pollution; improve visitor 
mobility and accessibility; enhance visitor experience; and ensure 
access to all, including persons with disabilities through alternative 
transportation projects. The projects selected for funding in FY 2007 
represent a diverse

set of capital and planning projects across the country, ranging from 
bus purchases to a ferry dock.

Applying for Funds

    Recipients who are State or local government entities will be 
required to apply for ATPPL funds electronically through FTA's 
electronic grant award and management system, TEAM. The content of 
these grant applications must reflect the approved proposal. (Note: 
Applications for the ATPPL program do not require Department of Labor 
Certification.) Upon grant award, payments to grantees will be made by 
electronic transfer to the grantee's financial institution through the 
Electronic Clearing House Operation (ECHO) system. Staff in FTA's 
Regional offices are available to assist applicants.
    Recipients who are Federal land management agencies will be 
required to enter into an interagency agreement with FTA. FTA will 
administer one interagency agreement with each Federal land management 
agency receiving funding through the program for all of that agency's 
projects. Individual units of Federal land management agencies should 
work with the contact at their headquarters office listed above to 
coordinate the availability of funds to that unit.

Program Requirements

    Section 5320 requires funding recipients to meet certain 
requirements. Program requirements can be found in the document 
``Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands Program: 
Requirements for Recipients of FY 2007 Funding'' available at http://www.fta.dot.gov/atppl. These requirements are incorporated into the 
grant agreements and inter-agency agreements used to fund the selected 
projects.

Pre-Award Authority

    Pre-award authority allows an agency that will receive a grant or 
interagency agreement to incur certain project costs prior to receipt 
of the grant or interagency agreement and retain eligibility of the 
costs for subsequent reimbursement after the grant or agreement is 
approved. The recipient assumes all risk and is responsible for 
ensuring that all conditions are met to retain eligibility, including 
compliance with federal requirements such as the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA), SAFETEA-LU planning requirements, and provisions 
established in the grant contract or Interagency Agreement. This 
automatic pre-award spending authority, when triggered, permits a 
grantee to incur costs on an eligible transit capital or planning 
project without prejudice to possible future Federal participation in 
the cost of the project or projects. Under the authority provided in 49 
U.S.C. 5320(h), FTA is extending pre-award authority for FY 2007 ATTPL 
projects effective as of October 15, 2007, when the projects were 
publicly announced.
    The conditions under which pre-award authority may be utilized are 
specified below:
    a. Pre-award authority is not a legal or implied commitment that 
the project(s) will be approved for FTA assistance or that FTA will 
obligate Federal funds. Furthermore, it is not a legal or implied 
commitment that all items undertaken by the applicant will be eligible 
for inclusion in the project(s).
    b. All FTA statutory, procedural, and contractual requirements must 
be met.
    c. No action will be taken by the grantee that prejudices the legal 
and administrative findings that the Federal Transit Administrator must 
make in order to approve a project.
    d. Local funds expended pursuant to this pre-award authority will 
be eligible for reimbursement if FTA later makes a grant or interagency 
agreement for the project(s). Local funds expended by the grantee prior 
to October 15, 2007 will not be eligible for credit toward local match 
or reimbursement. Furthermore, the expenditure of local funds on 
activities such as land acquisition, demolition, or construction, prior 
to the completion of the NEPA process, would compromise FTA's ability 
to comply with Federal environmental laws and may render the project 
ineligible for FTA funding.
    e. When a grant for the project is subsequently awarded, the 
Financial Status Report, in TEAM-Web, must indicate the use of pre-
award authority, and the pre-award item in the project information 
section of TEAM should be marked ``yes.''

Reporting Requirements

    All recipients must submit quarterly milestone/progress reports to 
FTA containing the following information:
    (1) Narrative description of project(s); and,
    (2) Discussion of all budget and schedule changes.
    State and local government entities should submit this information 
through FTA's TEAM grants management system.
    The headquarters office for each federal land management agency 
should collect a quarterly report for each of the projects delineated 
in the interagency agreement and then send these reports (preferably by 
e-mail) to Scott Faulk, FTA Office of Transit Programs, 
[email protected]; 202-366-1660; 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.; E44-
417; Washington, DC 20590. Examples can be found on the program Web 
site at http://www.fta.dot.gov/atppl. The quarterly reports are due to 
FTA on the dates noted below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Quarter                   Covering            Due date
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Quarter Report..............  October 1-December  January 31.
                                   31.
2nd Quarter Report..............  January 1-March 31  April 30.
3rd Quarter Report..............  April 1-June 30...  July 31.
4th Quarter Report..............  July 1-September    October 31.
                                   31.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In order to allow FTA to compute aggregate program performance 
measures as required by the President's Management Agenda, FTA requests 
that all recipients of funding for capital projects under the ATPPL 
program submit the following information annually:
     Annual visitation to the land unit;
     Annual number of persons who use the alternative 
transportation system (ridership/usage);
     An estimate of the number of vehicle trips mitigated based 
on alternative transportation system usage and the typical number of 
passengers per vehicle;
     Cost per passenger; and,
     A note of any special services offered for those systems 
with higher costs per passenger but more amenities.
    State and local government entities should submit this information 
as part of their fourth quarter report through FTA's TEAM grants 
management system.
    Federal land management agencies should also send this information 
as part of their fourth quarter report (preferably by e-mail), to Scott 
Faulk, FTA, [email protected]; 202-366-1660; 1200 New Jersey Avenue, 
SE.; E44-417; Washington, DC 20590. Examples can be found on the 
program Web site at http://www.fta.dot.gov/atppl.

Oversight

    Recipients of FY 2007 ATPPL funds will be required to certify that 
they will comply with all applicable Federal and FTA programmatic 
requirements. FTA direct grantees will complete this certification as 
part of the annual Certification and Assurances package, and Federal 
Land Management Agency recipients will complete the certification by 
signing the interagency agreement. This certification is the basis for 
oversight reviews conducted by FTA.
    The Secretary of Transportation and FTA have elected not to apply 
the triennial review requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5307(h)(2) to ATPPL 
recipients that are other Federal agencies. Instead, working with the 
existing oversight systems at the Federal Land Management Agencies, FTA 
will perform periodic reviews of specific projects funded by the ATPPL 
program. These reviews will ensure that projects meet the basic 
statutory, administrative, and regulatory requirements as stipulated by 
this notice and the certification. To the extent possible, these 
reviews will be coordinated with other reviews of the project. FTA 
direct grantees of ATPPL funds (State, local and tribal government 
entities) will be subject to all applicable triennial, State 
management, civil rights, and other reviews.

    Issued in Washington, DC, this 5th day of October, 2007.
James S. Simpson,
Administrator.
