intercity fixed-route providers and other OTRB providers at up to 90
percent of the project cost.
    A total of $8,800,000 has been appropriated for the program in FY
2009. FY 2006 funds have lapsed in the amount of $1,867,900. The total
amount available for allocation is $10,710,435 which includes FY 2009
appropriations and lapsed funds. This announcement is available on the
Internet on the FTA Web site at: http://www.fta.dot.gov. FTA will
announce final selections on the Web site and in the Federal Register.
A synopsis of this announcement will be posted in the FIND module of
the government-wide electronic grants Web site at http://
