Financial Planning and Project Solution - Amtrak
In its annual appropriations to Amtrak (the Grantee) for capital and operating expenses, Congress has authorized the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to withhold up to one half of one percent of the funds appropriated to Amtrak for monitoring and oversight.
In order to strengthen the Grantee'™s reporting capabilities and support its efforts to upgrade its financial planning and related systems and procedures, FRA is returning to the Grantee $ 8. 4 million in Fiscal Year 2009 through 2014 monitoring and oversight funds the FRA previously withheld, but has yet to spend.

The upgraded system will enhance reporting capabilities to meet state and commuter agency partner reporting requirements under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (Pub.
