Bill Summary

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Amendments, 2011 - Amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 to extend from December 3, 2010, to April 15, 2011, the date by which appropriations and funds made available and authority granted pursuant to such Act shall be available. Provides reduced rates of operation for FY2011 for the following accounts or activities within the Department of Transportation (DOT): (1) Office of the Secretary--Transportation Planning, Research, and Development; (2) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)--Facilities and Equipment; (3) FAA--Research, Engineering, and Development; (4) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)--Capital Assistance for High Speed Rail Corridors and Intercity Passenger Rail Service; (5) FRA--Railroad Research and Development; (6) Federal Transit Administration (FTA)--Capital Investment Grants; and (7) FTA--Research and University Research Centers. Provides reduced rates of operation for FY2011 for the following accounts within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): (1) Public and Indian Housing--Public Housing Operating Fund; and (2) Community Planning and Development--Community Development Fund. Requires that, with respect to the Community Development Fund, no funds shall be provided for grants for the Economic Development Initiative, neighborhood initiatives, and special purpose community development. Makes inapplicable to funds appropriated under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 the earmarking of specified funds for: (1) the Economic Development Initiative to finance a variety of targeted investments contained in the explanatory statement accompanying such Act; and (2) neighborhood initiatives to improve the conditions of distressed and blighted areas and neighborhoods, stimulate investment, and provide economic diversification and community revitalization.

AI Summary

This bill extends the period during which funds and authority provided by the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, will remain available, moving the deadline from December 3, 2010, to April 15, 2011, and also reduces the operational rates for several programs within the Department of Transportation (DOT), including transportation planning and development, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities and equipment, FAA research, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) high-speed rail assistance and research, and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) capital investment grants and research. Additionally, it lowers operational rates for certain programs within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), specifically the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Community Development Fund, with the latter explicitly prohibiting funds for grants related to the Economic Development Initiative (EDI), neighborhood initiatives, and other special community development projects, effectively removing these specific grant categories from funding under this act.
