| 摘要： | The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires that Federal agencies improve the effectiveness of their programs and their accountability to the public by focusing on results, service quality, and customer satisfaction. The Act further requires that Federal agencies improve program management and congressional decision-making by assembling objective information about program results and achievement of statutory objectives. As part of its program to implement the GPRA, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) included in the Final Rule on Major Capital Investment Projects (New Starts, 49 CFR Part 611) (published on December 7, 2000, effective April 7, 2001) several provisions that integrated Before and After Studies into the New Starts project development process. Section 611.7(c)(4) of the Final Rule requires that the sponsor of a New Starts project develop, early in final design, a plan to identify the impacts of the project and to examine the accuracy of forecasts for the project. Section 611.7(d) (7) made agreement on the plan between FTA and the sponsor a condition of a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) (or by extension, a Project Construction Grant Agreement (PCGA))1 for the project. An FFGA (or PCGA, by extension) executed after April 7, 2001, therefore, included completion of the study - according to the agreed-upon-plan as a requirement of the New Starts grant for the project. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
