a variety of areas. After considering the
comments received in response to the
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
published on October 5, 2017, FHWA
has decided to repeal the GHG measure.
DATES: This final rule is effective July 2,
2018.

I. Executive Summary
A. Purpose of the Deregulatory Action
The purpose of this deregulatory
action is to repeal the requirement that
State departments of transportation
(State DOTs) and metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) assess the
performance of the National Highway
System (NHS) under the National
Highway Performance Program (NHPP)
by measuring the percent change in
tailpipe carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
on the NHS from calendar year 2017
(also referred to as the Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) measure). This measure was
calculated using data on fuel use and
vehicle miles traveled (VMT). After
further consideration and review of the
comments received, as well as relevant
statutory authorities, we have decided
to repeal this measure. This repeal will
alleviate a burden on State DOTs and
MPOs that imposed costs with no
predictable level of benefits. This final
rule does not prohibit State DOTs and
MPOs from choosing voluntarily to
measure and assess CO2 emissions.
B. Summary of the Deregulatory Action
in Question
This final rule repeals the GHG
measure. By repealing this measure,
FHWA will no longer require State
DOTs and MPOs to undertake
administrative activities to establish
targets, calculate their progress toward
their selected targets, report to FHWA,
and determine a plan of action to make
progress toward their selected targets if
