Notice of Availability of Guidance on
Accelerated Decisionmaking in
Environmental Reviews
Office of the Secretary of
Transportation, Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
DOT is announcing the
availability of guidance implementing
Section 1319 of MAP–21, on
Accelerated Decisionmaking in
Environmental Reviews. This section of
MAP–21 provides for the use of errata
sheets on the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement, in lieu of a Final EIS
(FEIS), when the EIS has limited or
factual changes. It also states that the
lead agency under NEPA shall issue a
combined FEIS and ROD unless
circumstances exist to make it
impracticable. This eliminates the 30day wait period between the release of
the FEIS and ROD. This guidance builds
on the interim guidance that was
released by FHWA and FTA in January
2013, but applies to the entire
Department. The FHWA and FTA
interim guidance is retained as a
supplemental appendix specific to those
agencies. The guidance is available at
https://www.dot.gov/office-policy/
