Background

    Congress enacted the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 (HBA) to 
control the erection and maintenance of outdoor advertising signs 
adjacent to certain Federal-aid highways in order to protect the public 
investment in such highways, promote the safety and recreational value 
of public travel, and preserve natural beauty (23 U.S.C. 131). 23 
U.S.C. 131 required each State to enter into a Federal/State Agreement 
that includes specific outdoor advertising parameters that States must 
adhere to. These Federal/State Agreements were written in the late 
1960's and early 1970's and most have not been amended since the 
original agreements were executed. Accordingly, we believe it is timely 
to review whether these Federal/State Agreements are consistent with 
the State's current outdoor advertising objectives and address the 
evolving technology being used or that could be used in the future by 
the outdoor advertising industry.

Purpose of This Notice

    The purpose of this notice is twofold: (1) To encourage States to 
work with their FHWA Division Offices to amend their Federal/State 
Agreements, and (2) to describe the next steps in the Federal/State 
Agreement amendment process.

Planned Process

    The following is the proposed process to amend the Federal/State 
Agreements. Key milestones include:
    1. State initiates Federal/State Agreement amendment process by 
notifying their FHWA Division Office they would like to begin this 
process.
    2. State works with their FHWA Division Office to outline the 
methods for public and stakeholder outreach and participation, 
including any State requirements, during the process to amend the 
Federal/State Agreement.
    3. State works with their FHWA Division Office to draft an amended 
Federal/State Agreement.
    4. State submits the Federal/State Amendment modification proposal 
in writing, including full justification for all changes, to the FHWA
