“The FRA is uniquely positioned to integrate other BIL-mandated planning activities into the CIDP. One particularly relevant example: BIL Sec. 22214 directs the DOT to evaluate the restoration of daily intercity rail passenger service along discontinued Amtrak long-distance routes and any Amtrak long-distance routes that occur on a nondaily basis. Rail Passengers encourages the FRA to integrate Sec. 22214 findings into the CIDP Pipeline as they become available.”

That is a lot of acronyms.
BIL = Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The thing passed recently with a gazillion dollars for Amtrak
RPA = Rail Passengers Association (formerly known as NARP)
FRA = Federal Railroad Administration
CIDP = Corridor Identification and Development Program "a framework to facilitate the development of new, enhanced, and restored intercity passenger rail corridors throughout the country."
