Tribal Transportation Program Update TTPCC Meeting Phoenix, AZ 10/30/12
TTP Funding Formula (review) • The new formula will calculate tribal shares using three different factors (as percentages of national or regional totals): • 27% of funding based on the Tribe's approved road mileage (national percentage) • 39% of funding based on the Tribe's most recent Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA) population (national percentage) • 34% of funding based on the Tribe's RNDF and Population Adjustment Factor (PAF) amounts from FY05 to FY11 (regional percentage)
TTP Funding • MAP-21 contains a set-aside for another factor which will be included in a Tribe's share of TTP funds. The Tribal Supplemental Allocation, which totals approximately $104 million, will be utilized initially within each Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Region to supplement those Tribes that experience a negative impact from the new statutory formula in any year when compared to the funding a Tribe received under the old formula in Fiscal Year 2011.
Funding Formula - Inventory • What inventory is used for determining a Tribe's road mileage? • The mileage used to generate a Tribe's share of funding includes the following: • Any BIA owned road included in the FY12 Inventory; • Any tribal owned road included in the FY12 Inventory; and • Any road owned by another entity that was included in the BIA System of Roads utilized to generate funding prior to October 1, 2004. These are generally known as "grandfathered roads."
Funding – Set-asides Status of other funding set-asides MAP-21 includes set-asides for the following programs: • 2% for Transportation Planning – will be available for distribution along with initial 6 mos. allocation. • 2% for Tribal Bridge Program – IRRBPP operations and procedures continue. • 2% for a Tribal Safety Program – Draft guidance developed for TPPCC review. • 6% for Program Management and Oversight (PM&O) • Lop-off effects all of the above (IE - $9 million of authority will translate into $8.4+ million cash
Funding - Transition Is there a transition in implementing the new formula? • Yes. In FY13, tribal shares will be determined by adding the Tribe’s: • A) Share percentage from FY11’s (RNDF plus PAF) from 25CFR170 and applying it to an amount of funding equal to 80% of the FY11 total (RNDF plus PAF) funding that was provided; and • B) Share percentage utilizing the new MAP-21 formula applied to the remaining funds. • In FY14, the FY11 percentage in A) above is 60%. • In FY15, the FY11 percentage in A) above is 40%. • In FY16 and thereafter, the FY11 percentage in A) above is 20%.
What is 80% of FY11 Shares? $ 69.3 • FY2011 Allocation: $346 M • The FY2011 Relative Need Distribution Factor share plus the Population Adjustment Factor share make up the “FY2011 Allocation”. • 80 % of $346 M: • $277.4 M • 23 USC (b)(3)(A)(i)(I)(bb) amount is identified as the “remainder” after the available funds less set asides have been taken off then less the 80% amt identified above.
