h. Data Access and Data Sharing
FTA seeks to improve public
transportation for America’s
communities by sharing digital data or
source code collected or developed
through its research with the public.
This allows research organizations,
transit agencies, and other stakeholders
to learn from and expand upon the
insights developed from FTA-funded
research. An award made pursuant to
this NOFO will be subject to the latest
version of FTA’s Master Agreement
(available at https://
www.transit.dot.gov/funding/granteeresources/sample-fta-agreements/ftagrant-agreements), including Section 17
Patent Rights and Section 18 Rights in
Data and Copyrights.
All work conducted under this award
must follow the Department data
policies outlined in the DOT Public
Access Plan at: https://ntl.bts.gov/
public-access/how-comply, including
the development and approval of a Data
Management Plan (DMP). Recipients are
required to include these obligations in
any sub-awards or other related funding
agreements.
A DMP is a document that describes
how recipients plan to handle digital
datasets, software, or code generated
over the course of a research project
pursuant to Federal and Departmental
requirements. A DMP must be provided
as a condition of receiving FTA funds
under the Section 5312 Research
Program and should adequately
identify: (1) the data to be collected, (2)
how the data will further the goals of
this effort, (3) how the data will be made
accessible, and (4) how the data will be
stored. DMPs can be updated over time
if the scope of the project or the type of
data that will be collected changes. FTA
staff is available to assist recipients with
complying with public data access
requirements.
FTA expects recipients to remove
confidential business information (CBI)
and Personally Identifiable Information
(PII) before providing public access to
project data. Recipients must ensure the
appropriate data are accessible to FTA
or the public for a minimum of five
years after the award period of
performance expires.
Recipients must make available to the
Department copies of all work
developed in performance of a project
funded under this announcement,
including but not limited to software
and data. Data rights shall be in
accordance with 2 CFR 200.315,
Intangible property.

i. Independent Evaluation
Projects funded under this
announcement will be subject to
evaluation by an independent evaluator
selected by FTA. Recipients will be
required to coordinate with the
independent evaluator to assist in
developing an evaluation plan and
collecting, storing and managing data
required to fulfill that evaluation plan.
j. Software Provisions
Any standards, guidance, tools or
software developed as a part of this
solicitation will be subject to provisions
of FTA’s Master Agreement and
evaluated for the potential to be shared
for use by public transportation
agencies.
3. Reporting
Post-award reporting requirements
include the electronic submission of
Federal Financial Reports and Milestone
Progress Reports in TrAMS.
Documentation is required for payment.
Additional progress reporting to the
FTA project manager may be required.
The recipient may be expected to
participate in events or peer networks
related to the goals and objectives of the
program.
The Federal Financial Accountability
and Transparency Act (FFATA) requires
data entry at the FFATA Sub Award
Reporting System (http://
www.FSRS.gov) for all sub-awards and
sub-contracts issued for $30,000 or
more, as well as addressing executive
compensation for both award recipients
and sub-award organizations.
As part of completing the annual
certifications and assurances required of
FTA grant recipients, a successful
applicant must report on the suspension
or debarment status of itself and its
principals.
If the award recipient’s active grants,
cooperative agreements, and
procurement contracts from all Federal
awarding agencies exceeds $10,000,000
for any period of time during the period
of performance of an award made
pursuant to this Notice, the recipient
must comply with the Recipient
Integrity and Performance Matters
reporting requirements described in
Appendix XII to 2 CFR part 200.
Note that vehicle demonstration
projects are not considered regular and
continuing, and so data on ridership and
vehicle operations for demonstration
projects are not reported to the National
Transit Database (NTD). The cost of the
project may be reportable as a
reconciling item by full reporters.
Recipients should consult their NTD
Validation Analyst on proper reporting
of demonstration projects.

50501 sets forth the statutory
requirements for determining whether
an applicant, be it a corporation,

from 46 CFR part 355 in that part 356
establishes requirements for U.S.
citizenship exclusively in accordance
with the AFA while part 355 is applied
for purposes of establishing citizenship
across multiple MARAD programs
arising under other statutory authority.
Most program participants are required
to submit to MARAD on an annual basis
the form of affidavit prescribed by part
355 or part 356.
