## What the grant funds

This notice announces a funding opportunity and requests grant applications for FHWA’s National Scenic Byways Program (NSBP) as provided by the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. Established in Title 23, Section 162 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), the NSBP is a grass-roots collaborative effort to help recognize, preserve, and enhance selected roads throughout the United States. Per 23 U.S.C. 162(b), grants and technical assistance are available to State departments of transportation (State DOT) or Indian Tribes to implement eligible projects on highways designated as National Scenic Byways, All-American Roads (collectively America's Byways®), State scenic byways, or Indian Tribe scenic byways; and plan, design, and develop a State or Indian Tribe scenic byway program. This grant opportunity will result in the distribution of up to $22 million that are currently available. If additional funding is provided for the NSBP during FY 2022, FHWA intends to use those funds for projects selected to receive a grant under this NOFO. This notice identifies selection criteria, application requirements, and technical assistance during the grant solicitation period for this one-time solicitation. The FHWA will distribute these funds, as described in this notice, on a competitive basis in a manner consistent with the selection criteria. For the 2022 NSBP grants, FHWA seeks projects that meet the statutory eligibility and advance one or more of the four goals: (1) Safety; (2) Equity and Accessibility; (3) Economic Strength; and (4) Climate and Sustainability.
