FTA Seeks Comment on Emergency Relief Program Guidance
FTA is seeking public comment through April 6 on proposed guidance for the Emergency Relief (ER) Program it published Feb. 4 as part of the agency’s new Emergency Relief Manual: A Reference Manual for States and Transit Agencies on Response and Recovery from Declared Disasters & FTA’s Emergency Relief Program.
Submit comments here using docket number FTA-2015-0002.
The manual is intended for states and public transit agencies that might be affected by a declared emergency or disaster and that seek funding under FTA’s ER Program. The document also provides information on other disaster relief resources available through FTA and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a discussion of recommended practices for disaster preparation and frequently asked questions relating to disaster recovery.
The new manual revises and replaces FTA’s Response and Recovery from Declared Emergencies and Disasters: A Reference for Transit Agencies, last updated in June 2013.
This guidance supplements the Emergency Relief Program Regulation-Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on Oct. 7, 2014.
