After decades of indecision over rail, policy-makers now face defining choices about the future scope of the passenger rail network and its role in the transportation system.
Since 1971, Amtrak has sought to balance competing public service and commercial objectives -- most recently embodied in the "operational self-sufficiency mandate" --without adequate resources to deliver either objective fully.
Much of Amtrak's operating expense growth since 1998 has been due to growth in depreciation and debt service, with basic wage increases kept to an average of 3 percent per year; FY02 first quarter operating expenses excluding depreciation were lower than the prior year even after unanticipated security expense increases.
Amtrak's financial plan for FY02-03 supports today's national passenger rail system through FY03, and provides options for policy-makers during the upcoming reauthorization debate.

This report gives details of business grant schemes operated by Metropolitan Borough of Wirral since 1996, together with the employment benefits of those schemes.
Broadly, the schemes have either added value to those offered by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or provided support for those ineligible for DTI assistance, e.g. capital grants below the minimum DTI grant threshold, rent or rates subsidy or where a company is a non-SME (Small and Medium Enterprise).
The schemes' criteria required the need for job creation to be a key element of any project seeking assistance, although safeguarded jobs could be taken into consideration.

Like the actor in the movie who remembers each day's events, I remember all too well the events that have led us to E-Grants.
First, our understanding that the 194 data set was the standard application for grant applications apparently is no longer "set in stone".
At a recent Research and Related (R&R) subcommittee meeting of the Inter-Agency Electronic Grants Committee (IAEGC), agency representatives commented that OMB has not given the EDI 194 transaction set approval.
Evidently, just because it was published in the Federal Register does not imply OMB's approval nor that agencies must use it!
As currently envisioned, E-Grants would accept both "core" and "non-core" application data elements.

Do all program partners (grantees, sub-grantees, contractors, etc.) commit to and report on performance that relates to and supports the output and outcome goals of the program?
Are all funds (Federal and partners') obligated in a timely manner?
Does the agency estimate and budget for the full annual costs of operating the program (including all administrative costs and allocated overhead)?
Do comprehensive, independent, quality evaluations of this program indicate that the program is effective and achieving results?
