• Recipients with major capital projects, as defined in 49 CFR 633.5, involving construction of a<br />

new fixed guideway or extension of an existing fixed guideway, that are in preliminary<br />

engineering or earlier phases as of August 1, 2007.<br />

As explained in Circular 5800.1, after August 1, 2007, previous SSMP requirements specified in Chapter<br />

II, Section 6 of Circular 5200.1A remain in effect for:<br />

• Recipients with major capital projects, as defined in 49 CFR 633.5, involving construction of a<br />

new fixed guideway or extension of an existing fixed guideway that are in final design or later<br />

phases as of August 1, 2007.<br />

• Recipients with other major capital projects, as defined in 49 CFR 633.5, designated by the<br />

Administrator, initiated before August 1, 2007, and applying for/receiving FFGAs.<br />

This grandfathering provision is adopted for recipients with projects underway as of August 1, 2007 that<br />

are significantly invested in SSMPs prepared based on Chapter II, Section 6 of Circular 5200.1A and the<br />

DRAFT Guidance for Developing Safety and Security Management Plans (January 2002). Once these<br />

projects are in revenue service, the SSMP requirements in Chapter II, Section 6 of Circular 5200.1A will<br />

be phased out. Until then, <strong>FTA</strong> will evaluate conformance using Chapter II, Section 6 of Circular<br />

5200.1A and 2002 DRAFT Guidance.<br />

There are currently no SSMP requirements for:<br />

• Recipients receiving capital investment grants under 49 U.S.C. 5309(e), referred to as “Small<br />

Starts” and “Very Small Starts”, unless <strong>FTA</strong>’s Administrator determines that a PMP is necessary.<br />

• Recipients with major capital projects, as defined in 49 CFR 633.5, involving rehabilitation or<br />

modernization of an existing fixed guideway with a project cost in excess of $100 million, and<br />

initiated before August 1, 2007.<br />

3.0 OBJECTIVES<br />

The SSMP Review is conducted by the PMOC to determine if the recipient is adequately performing<br />

required safety and security management activities for its capital project, and it provides major input to<br />

<strong>FTA</strong> regarding the review and approval of the SSMP. As part of the PMP, the SSMP must be approved<br />

by <strong>FTA</strong> for the recipient to remain eligible to receive <strong>Federal</strong> funds for further project development.<br />

3.1 Major Capital Projects Affected by Circular 5800.1<br />

For recipients with major capital projects affected by Circular 5800.1, the PMOC’s SSMP Review must:<br />

• Determine which safety and security activities the recipient must perform, as specified in Chapter<br />

II, Paragraph 2 of Circular 5800.1 and following the process outlined in Chapter III of Circular<br />

5800.1.<br />
