attachments required for submission can be found at GRANTS.GOV. Mail and fax submissions will not be accepted. A
complete proposal submission consists of two forms: 1 The SF424
Application for Federal Assistance; and 2 the FY 2021 Passenger Ferry Grant Program supplemental form. The supplemental form and any supporting documents must be attached to the Attachments section of the SF424.
The application must include responses to all sections of the SF424
Application for Federal Assistance and the supplemental form, unless designated as optional. The information on the supplemental form will be used to determine applicant and project eligibility for the program, and to evaluate the proposal against the selection criteria described in part E of this notice. Failure to submit the information as requested can delay review or disqualify the application.
FTA will accept only one supplemental form per SF424
submission. FTA encourages States and other applicants to consider submitting a single supplemental form that includes multiple activities to be evaluated as a consolidated proposal. If a State or other applicant chooses to submit separate proposals for individual consideration by FTA, each proposal must be submitted using a separate SF
424 and supplemental form.
Applicants may attach additional supporting information to the SF424
submission, including but not limited to letters of support, project budgets, fleet status reports, or excerpts from relevant planning documents. Supporting documentation should be described and referenced by file name in the appropriate response section of the supplemental form, or it may not be reviewed.
Information such as applicant name, Federal amount requested, local match amount, and description of areas served may be requested in varying degrees of detail on both the SF424 and Supplemental Form. Applicants must fill in all fields unless otherwise stated on the forms. Applicants should not place N/A or refer to attachment in lieu of typing in responses in the field sections. If information is copied into the supplemental form from another source, applicants should verify that pasted text is fully captured on the supplemental form and has not been truncated by the character limits built into the form. Applicants should use both the Check Package for Errors and the Validate Form validation buttons on both forms to check all required fields on the forms, and ensure that the
