    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 9492
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has announced a delay in the start date for new guidance on third-party contracting, originally set for February 18, 2025, now postponed to March 20, 2025. This guidance, known as Circular C 4220.1G, replaces a previous version from 2013 and incorporates updates due to changes in laws and regulations. The delay is in response to a presidential memorandum aiming for a regulatory freeze and will allow further review. The change is effective immediately and is exempt from standard notice and comment procedures due to the urgency of the situation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Transit Administration wanted to start using new rules for hiring help from outside companies on February 18, 2025, but they decided to wait until March 20, 2025, to make sure everything is just right. They need this extra time because there's a big boss' reminder to pause and look over new rules carefully before starting them.

    The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has released a final version of its updated Third-Party Contracting Guidance Circular (C 4220.1G), which replaces the old version (C 4220.1F). The update includes changes brought about by new laws and regulations and provides additional guidance for FTA's assistance programs. The FTA also addressed various public comments, making adjustments where needed, but mostly ensuring the guidelines align with existing federal standards. Most suggestions from stakeholders were acknowledged but not incorporated, as they often went beyond the scope of the federal requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Transit Administration has updated their guide for working with outside companies, making sure it follows new rules, but some parts might still be a little confusing or unclear. They did look at people’s suggestions, but didn't change much because they wanted to keep it simple and follow the main rules needed.
