Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
Wednesday, January 21, 2009, DOT
published a NPRM (74 FR 3487)
concerning the Transportation
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation
Act (TIFIA) to implement recent
statutory changes and to incorporate
certain other changes to the rule. In
addition, the NPRM sought comment on
policy issues with potentially
significant impact on the TIFIA project
selection process. This withdrawal will
allow the Obama Administration to
review the program and decide what, if
any changes, it may wish to propose.
We believe that the public will benefit
from withdrawal of the proposal early in
the comment period before comments
have been drafted and filed pending
review of the program by the new
administration.
