Sec. 661.39  When are IRR bridge projects eligible for funding?

    The statute provides that IRR funds to carry out IRRBP projects 
shall be made available only on approval of the PS&E by the Secretary 
(FHWA). Approval consists of having completed and approved bridge 
design, specifications and estimates. The project must be ready for 
construction, right of way must have been acquired, and the project 
contract must be awarded within 120 calendar days of funding. A copy of 
the FHWA or BIADOT PS&E approval letter, certification checklist and 
IRRBP TIP must be forwarded by the area office to the BIADOT/FLH for 
review and acceptance. For non-BIA IRR bridges, the application package 
must also include a tribal resolution supporting the project. Submittal 
of an incomplete application package would form the basis for project 
disapproval and the BIA area office would have to revise and resubmit 
the package.
