SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 22, 2006, FTA issued a notice
soliciting comments and expressions of preliminary interest with
respect to the Secretary of Transportation's establishment and
implementation of FTA's Public-Private Partnership Pilot Program (the
Pilot Program) (71 FR 14568). FTA received comments from nineteen
parties in response to this notice. On January 19, 2007, FTA issued a
Notice of Establishment of Public-Private Partnership Pilot Program,
which set forth the definitive terms of the Pilot Program and invited
interested parties to submit applications to the Pilot Program by March
31, 2007 (72 FR 2583). In this notice, FTA indicated that it would, by
separate notice, summarize and respond to comments on the March 22,
2006 notice no later than March 31, 2007.
The volume of work underway within FTA has prevented publication of
response to comments by the date previously indicated. Therefore, FTA
intends to summarize and respond to comments on the March 22, 2006
notice no later than April 30, 2007.
This notice does not affect the application deadlines to the Pilot
Program. Therefore, to be considered in
