SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has published an opportunity to apply

the grants.gov Web site (http://www.grants.gov). Section 4134 of the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
Legacy For Users (SAFETEA-LU) establishes the CMV Operator Safety 
Training Grant Opportunity program. The legislation requires grant 
recipients to train drivers and future drivers in the safe operation of 
CMVs, as defined in Section 31301 of Title 49, United States Code. 
Priority will be given to regional or multi-state educational or 
nonprofit associations serving economically distressed regions of the 
United States. Eligible awardees also can include State governments, 
local governments, and accredited post-secondary educational 
institutions (public or private) such as colleges, universities, 
vocational-technical schools and truck driver training schools. To 
apply for funding, applicants must be registered with grants.gov. 
Registration with grants.gov may take two to five days before the 
system will allow you to apply for grants using the grants.gov Web site 
(http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp). Submit 

application in accordance with the instructions provided. Applications 
for grant funding must be submitted electronically to the FMCSA through 
the

grants.gov Web site. The CFDA number for MCSAP is 20.235.

DATES: FMCSA will initially consider funding of applications submitted 
by January 31, 2007 by qualified applicants. If additional funding 
remains available, applications submitted after January 31, 2007 will 
be considered on a case-by-case basis. Funds will not be available for 
allocation until such time as FY2007 appropriations legislation is 
passed and signed into law. Funding is subject to reductions resulting 
from obligation limitations or rescissions as specified in SAFETEA-LU 
or other legislation.
