Federal Register/Notice: govinfo.gov
Type of Requirement: Notice. Comments due February 13, 2025. Late-filed comments will be considered to the extent practicable.

FTA seeks comment from all interested parties. After review and consideration of the comments, FTA will issue a final notice announcing the policy statement and the revised FAQs.
How is it enforced by FTA, DOT, Direct grant requirement, triennial review or other? N/A
