• 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DRAFT Guidance for Developing Safety and Security Management Plans (January 2002).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5200.1A and 2002 DRAFT Guidance.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 />
