SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2013, at 78 FR 65751, the FHWA published in the 
Federal Register a notice regarding the Integrated Corridor Management 
Deployment Planning Grants. The purpose of this notice was to invite 
States, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and local governments that 
intended to initiate or continue Integrated Corridor Management 
development with their partners, such as arterial management agencies, 
tolling authorities, and transit authorities, to apply for deployment 
planning grants. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act 
authorizes the FHWA to encourage Intelligent Transportation Systems 
deployment on the national highway system through demonstrations and 
grant programs. The purpose of this program is to promote the 
integrated management and operations of the transportation system, 
thereby improving multimodal transportation system management and 
operations.
    The original application period is set to close on December 31, 
2013. The extension in this notice is based on input received from DOT 
stakeholders that the December 31 closing date does not provide 
sufficient time for submission of applications. The FHWA agrees that 
the application period should be extended. Therefore, the closing date 
for applications is extended to January 17, 2014.

    Issued on: December 16, 2013.
Victor M. Mendez,
FHWA Administrator.
