6 <br /> FTA FISCAL YEAR 2016 CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES <br /> PREFACE <br /> Except as the Federal Transit Administration (FTA or We)determines otherwise in <br /> writing, before FTA may award federal assistance for public transportation in the form of <br /> a federal grant, cooperative agreement, loan, line of credit, or loan guarantee, certain <br /> pre-award Certifications and Assurances are required. The Applicant must authorize a <br /> representative (Authorized Representative) to select and sign its Certifications and <br /> Assurances and bind the Applicant's compliance. You, as your Applicant's Authorized <br /> Representative, must select and sign all Certifications and Assurances that your <br /> Applicant must provide to support each application it submits to FTA for federal <br /> assistance during federal fiscal year (FY) 2016. <br /> We request that you read each Certification and Assurance and select those that will <br /> apply to any application for which your Applicant might seek federal assistance from <br /> FTA during FY 2016. As provided by federal laws, regulations, and requirements, only if <br /> you select adequate Certifications and Assurances on your Applicant's behalf may FTA <br /> award federal assistance. <br /> We have consolidated our Certifications and Assurances into twenty-three (23) <br /> Categories. At a minimum,you must select the Assurances in Category 01. If your <br /> Applicant requests more than $100,000 in federal assistance,you must select the <br /> "Lobbying" Certification in Category 02, except if your Applicant is an Indian tribe, <br /> Indian organization, or an Indian tribal organization. Depending on the nature of your <br /> Applicant and the Award it seeks,you may also need to select one or more Certifications <br /> and Assurances in Categories 03 through 23. Instead of selecting individual Categories <br /> of Certifications and Assurances, however,you may make a single selection that will <br /> encompass all twenty-three (23) Categories of Certifications and Assurances that apply <br /> to our various prograins. <br /> FTA,your Applicant, and you, as your Applicant's Authorized Representative, <br /> understand and agree that not every provision of these twenty-three (23) Categories of <br /> Certifications and Assurances will apply to every Applicant or every Award or Project <br /> included in an Award, even if you make a single selection encompassing all twenty-three <br /> (23) Categories. Nor will every provision of each Certification or Assurance within a <br /> single Category apply if that provision does not apply to your Applicant or the Award it <br /> seeks. The type of Applicant and its application will determine which Certifications and <br /> Assurances apply. <br /> Your Applicant is ultimately responsible for compliance with the Certifications and <br /> Assurances selected that apply to its Award, itself any Subrecipient, or any other Third <br /> Party Participant in its Award, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing. For this <br /> reason, we strongly encourage your Applicant to take appropriate measures, including, <br /> 1 <br />
