On January 28, 2010 President Obama announced the first selections for the HSIPR Program. This notice builds on the program framework established by FRA in the June 23, 2009 interim program guidance (74 Fed. Reg. 29900), and details the application requirements and procedures for obtaining funding for high-speed rail planning activities under the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act of 2010 (FY 2010 DOT Appropriations Act). This solicitation is only applicable to the planning funds available under the FY 2010 appropriation.
