- Applicability: Broad identification of the recipients to which the requirement applies.
- Explanation for Reviewer: An expanded explanation of the basic requirement.
- Indicators of Compliance: The questions FTA reviewers will answer to determine a recipient’s compliance with the basic requirement.
- Instructions for Reviewer: Specific instructions to FTA’s reviewers about what and how to evaluate for compliance with each indicator.
- Potential Deficiency Determinations: Condition(s) under which a recipient could be deficient along with suggested corrective action.
- Governing Directives: Specific citations from law, regulation, circular, master agreement or other binding agreements that form the basis of the requirement for which a deficiency may be found.
