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 2024 NEC
Project Inventory, which will be available on April 18, 2024, at:
<a href="https://railroads.dot.gov/elibrary/nec-inventory">https://railroads.dot.gov/elibrary/nec-inventory</a>. The 2024 NEC Project
Inventory supersedes the prior November 2022 publication. Subsequently,
FRA will publish an FSP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) soliciting
applications for NEC Projects listed on the 2024 NEC Project Inventory.
FRA will then evaluate applications and select projects consistent with
the NOFO.
Issued in Washington, DC.
