SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 5, 2014, FTA published an Innovative Public 
Transportation Workforce Development Program (Ladders of Opportunity 
Initiative) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) (79 FR 53095). The 
NOFA indicated that FTA was making FY 13 and prior year funds available 
for this effort. FTA intends to make additional funds available, 
providing a consolidated way for potential applicants to seek funding. 
Since this additional funding may have a bearing on whether a potential 
applicant decides to apply for funds, FTA has determined the best 
course of action is to withdraw the NOFA and issue a revised NOFA.

The Withdrawal

    In consideration of the foregoing, the NOFA for Innovative Public 
Transportation Workforce Development Program (Ladders of Opportunity 
Initiative) is hereby withdrawn.

Therese W. McMillan,
Acting Administrator.
