Description

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) amends its Private Investment Project Procedures regulation to reduce the regulatory burden on recipients subject to FTA's private investment procedures by removing an unnecessary reporting requirement. The removed reporting requirement previously mandated recipients with modified or waived FTA requirements to submit reports evaluating the effects of such modifications or waivers on project delivery. This final rule eliminates that reporting obligation, as it was never used and was inconsistent with FTA's purpose to promote public-private partnerships. The rule is effective July 6, 2026, and aims to facilitate greater use of public-private partnerships by reducing administrative burdens.
