When a material production request is received at TRF-BTS headquarters in Austin, the appropriate program area manager reviews and approves it for state subgrantees with limited distribution or for statewide distribution. TSSs review and approve material production requests for local projects. The Project Manager will approve the request through eGrants by changing the request status to “SR Approved.” Upon receiving this approval, the subgrantee may proceed with production. If the request is denied by TRF-BTS, the subgrantee will be notified by receiving a status of the request stating “SR Denied.”

Once a subgrantee has produced and received an item, they must send one copy of the item to TRF-BTS headquarters in Austin, unless otherwise requested.
