SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The FSP was reauthorized and revised in the BIL, Title II, U.S.C.
22106 and 22307, Public Law 117-58 (2021); codified at 49 U.S.C. 24911.
Under the FSP, the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) is directed
to develop and implement a program for issuing grants, on a competitive
basis, to fund projects that reduce the state of good repair backlog,
improve performance, or expand or establish new intercity passenger
rail service, including privately operated intercity passenger rail
service if an eligible applicant is involved. The FSP also requires the
Secretary to, among other things, develop and publish an NEC Project
Inventory to: (1) create a predictable project pipeline that will
assist Amtrak, States, and the public with long-term capital planning,
and (2) use the NEC Project Inventory when selecting projects located
on the NEC for FSP funds. 49 U.S.C. 24911.
In compliance with the above, FRA is publishing the NEC Project
Inventory, which will be available on November 15, 2022, at: <a href="https://railroads.dot.gov/elibrary/nec-inventory">https://railroads.dot.gov/elibrary/nec-inventory</a>. In the future, FRA will
publish FSP Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) soliciting
applications for NEC Projects listed on the NEC Project Inventory. FRA
will then evaluate applications and select projects consistent with the
NOFO. FRA will publish an NEC Project Inventory at least every two
years following this initial publication.
