Rule/Notice/NOFO: Letter to All Recipients of U.S. Department of Transportation Funding
Federal Register/Notice: transportation.gov
Description: Transportation Secretary Duffy has issued a letter to all recipients of USDOT funding. Secretary Duffy stipulates that while the letter neither imposes new conditions nor requirements, it does serve to provide notice that the Department will no longer enforce or require adherence to certain policy requirements that the prior Administration incorporated into the Department’s Federal financial assistance agreements. It also stipulates that the Department inserted language that requires compliance with already existing legal requirements, as applicable based on court decisions – including among others, existing legal requirements related to immigration enforcement and the prohibition of discrimination. It reminds recipients that the Department offers technical guidance and support through its program offices and encourages recipients to contact their designated DOT representative promptly should they require clarification regarding their obligations.
