Section
1306 of MAP–21 (Pub. L. 112–141, 126
Stat. 535) codified in 23 U.S.C. 139 that
‘‘[a] Federal agency of jurisdiction over
an approval required for a project under
applicable laws shall complete any
required approval on an expeditious
basis using the shortest existing
applicable process.’’ 23 U.S.C.
139(h)(6)(A). If a Reviewing Agency fails
to decide within a specific timeframe,
an amount shall be rescinded from the
applicable office of the head of the
agency not later than 1 day after the
applicable date and once each week
thereafter until a final decision is
rendered. The rescission amount is
equal to $20,000 per week if the project
will be funded under Title 23, U.S.
Code, and is estimated to cost more than
$100 million, or $10,000 per week for
any other projects requiring an
environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement under
FHWA’s or FTA’s procedures
implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). The applicable date is
described as the later of (I) the date that
is 180 days after the date on which an
application for the permit, license, or
approval is complete; and (II) the date
that is 180 days after the date on which
the Federal lead agency issues a
decision on the project under NEPA. 23
U.S.C. 139(h)(6)(B)(ii).
The FHWA and FTA developed this
guidance in coordination with the
Reviewing Agencies that are most likely
to be affected by this provision;
however, it is not intended to guide
their implementation specifically. The
guidance provides a framework for
FHWA and FTA personnel to make ‘‘nofault’’ certifications and serves as a
consensus document to help inform
agency-specific implementation by the
Reviewing Agencies. The guidance is
available online at www.fhwa.dot.gov/
map21, and www.fta.dot.gov/map21.

Penalties Guidance

Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) are
issuing joint guidance on the
implementation of the financial penalty
provisions contained in Section 1306 of
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the
21st Century Act (MAP–21). The
financial penalty provisions require
Federal agencies of jurisdiction
(Reviewing Agency) to render a decision
on a permit, license, or other approval
related to a transportation project within
180 days from the later of the date
FHWA or FTA issue a Record of
Decision or Finding of No Significant
Impacts for a project, or the date on
which an application for a permit,
license, or approval for the project is
complete. If the Reviewing Agency does
not render a decision by the 180-day
deadline, it is subject to a rescission of
funds of $10,000 or $20,000 per week
until the Reviewing Agency renders a
decision. The FHWA and FTA have the
authority to grant ‘‘no-fault’’
certifications if the Reviewing Agency’s
failure to decide was due to
circumstances beyond its control. You
may review the guidance by visiting
FHWA’s Web site at https://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21, or FTA’s
Web site at https://www/fta.dot.gov/
