    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5309 Capital Program and Section 5307 Urbanized 
Area Formula Program authorize the Secretary of Transportation to make 
grants to State and local governments and public transportation 
authorities for financing mass transportation projects. Grant 
recipients are required to make information available to the public and 
to publish a program of projects for affected citizens to comment on 
the proposed program and performance of the grant recipients at public 
hearings. Notices of hearings must include a brief description of the 
proposed project and be published in a newspaper circulated in the 
affected area. FTA also uses the information to determine eligibility 
for funding and to monitor the grantees' progress in implementing and 
completing project activities. The information submitted ensures FTA's 
compliance with applicable federal laws, OMB Circular A-102, and 49 CFR 
part 18, ``Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and 
Cooperative Agreements with State and Local Governments.''
