PART 268_MAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT 

 

              Subpart B_Procedures For Financial Assistance

 

Sec.  268.19  Evaluation of applications for preconstruction planning 



assistance.



    The FRA will evaluate the applications for their completeness and 

responsiveness to the requirements listed in Sec.  268.15. In addition, 

applicants are advised that the Maglev Deployment Program contains a 

number of project eligibility standards (minimum threshold standards) 

and project evaluation criteria that will guide the FRA's review of the 

project descriptions produced under the Planning Grants. The FRA's 

implementation of these standards and criteria appears in Sec.  268.11 

and Sec.  268.17, respectively. Although subject to revision, the 

information in Sec.  268.11 and Sec.  268.17 should assist the States in 

completing their applications in the competition for planning grants, 

since the project descriptions will need to respond to the standards and 

criteria. In evaluating the applications for planning grants, FRA will 

consider how consistent the applicant's project is to the standards and 

criteria, and the application's likelihood of leading to a project that 

meets all the standards and criteria.
