Planning activities are not eligible under this
competition.
10. Are public car-ferries eligible?
Answer: Ferry systems that accommodate
cars must also accommodate walk-on
passengers in order to be eligible.
11. Is the construction of a ferry
maintenance facility an eligible capital
project?
Answer: Yes.
12. Is a new vessel construction funded by
FTA grants considered a public work or
rolling stock and therefore subject to Davis
Bacon?
Answer: Yes, a new vessel construction is
rolling stock. Davis Bacon applies to
construction, alteration, or repairs of public
buildings or public works, but it does not
apply to rolling stock.
13. Does the term ‘‘terminals & related
infrastructure’’ projects include the floating
docks and access ramps where the passengers
board?
Answer: Yes.
14. Is there a difference between the FTA’s
Passenger Ferry Grant Program and FHWA’s
Ferry Boat Formula Grant Funding Program?
Answer: There may be subtle differences
between FTA’s and FHWA’s programs.
However, FHWA no longer has a competitive
program. It is now a formula program. Please
refer to FHWA’s page for more information:
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/.
15. What is the grant process after an entity
is selected?
Answer: An agency would work with the
FTA regional office to apply for the funds in
FTA’s electronic management system. The
Federal Register announcing selection will
also provide grant-making instructions.

Abstract: The Veterans’ Health
Benefits Handbook is available to all
enrolled Veterans. The Handbook
contains general eligibility and benefits
information and most importantly,
information specific to the Veteran.
VHA seeks approval for this collection
to provide Veterans an opportunity to
provide anonymous feedback on the
content and presentation of the material
contained in the Handbook. VHA will
use the information gathered to
determine how well the Handbook
meets Veterans’ needs and make
changes to the Handbook where needed.
This voluntary survey will not be used
as a substitute for traditional program
evaluation surveys that measure
objective outcomes. To maximize the
voluntary response rates, the
information collection will be designed
to foster convenient, simple and barrier
free participation. The data collected
will consist of the minimum amount of
information necessary to determine
