On July 29,
2009, the Federal Transit Administration published a notice which requests
comments on additional Proposed Guidance on New Starts/Small Starts Policies
and Procedures. This guidance continues FTA’s efforts to streamline and
simplify the New and Small Starts programs.
The notice: (1) proposes
modifications to the evaluation and rating process; (2) clarifies existing
policies; and (3) solicits public feedback on potential changes to FTA’s
internal practices for the New and Small Starts programs. Please note this
guidance is in addition to, and distinct from, the guidance on New Starts/Small
Starts Policies and Procedures published concurrently in this issue of the
Federal Register.
Comments on
the additional Proposed Guidance on New Starts/Small Starts Policies and
Procedures must be received by August 14, 2009. Please identify the
docket number FTA-2009-0036 and the agency name (Federal Transit
