Title: High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Program; Buy America Program Requirements
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish regulations for FRA's Buy America requirements as part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program. The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) (Division B of Pub. L. 110-432) authorized the appropriation of funds to establish several new passenger rail grant programs, including capital investment grants to support intercity passenger rail service (section 301), high-speed corridor development (section 501), and congestion grants (section 302). FRA has consolidated these and other closely related programs into the HSIPR program, as detailed in FRA's High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Interim Guidance (74 Fed. Reg. 29900 (June 23, 2009)) and FY 2010 Interim Guidance (75 Fed. Reg. 38344 and 38365 (July 1, 2010)). Spending authorized under PRIIA is subject to the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a). This rulemaking would provide standards to govern FRA's application of the Buy America provision of 49 U.S.C. section 24405(a) to all PRIIA-authorized spending as part of the HSIPR program.
