## Abstract

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is amending 49 CFR Part 601 to make express that the Deputy Administrator serves as the Administrator's ``first assistant'' within the meaning of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 and thus serves as the Acting Administrator when the Administrator's position is vacant.
