Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
ET., Monday through Friday, except for
Federal holidays.
Legal Basis and Background
Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section
5112 of title 49 United States Code
(U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal
governments to designate and limit
highway routes over which hazardous
materials (HM) may be transported,
provided the State or Tribal government
complies with standards prescribed by
the Secretary of Transportation (the
Secretary) and meets publication
requirements in section 5112(c). To
establish standards under paragraph (b),
the Secretary must consult with the
States, and, under section 5112(c),
coordinate with the States to ‘‘update
and publish periodically’’ a list of
currently effective HM highway routing
designations and restrictions. The
requirements that States and Tribal
governments must follow to establish,
maintain, or enforce routing
designations for the transport of
placardable quantities of NRHM are set
forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C.
Subpart D of part 397 sets out the
requirements for designating preferred
routes for highway route controlled
quantities of HRCQ/RAM shipments as
an alternative, or in addition, to
Interstate System highways. For HRCQ/
RAM shipments, § 397.101 defines a
preferred route as an Interstate Highway
for which no alternative route is
designated by the State; a route
specifically designated by the State; or
both. (See § 397.65 for the definitions of
NRHM and routing designations.)
Under a delegation from the
Secretary,1 FMCSA has authority to
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
Currently, § 397.73 establishes public
information and reporting requirements
for NRHM. States or Tribal governments
are required to furnish information
regarding any new or changed routes to
FMCSA within 60 days after
establishment. Under § 397.103, a State
routing designation for HRCQ/RAM
routes (preferred routes) as an
alternative, or in addition, to an
Interstate System highway, is effective
when the authorized routing agency
provides FMCSA with written
notification, FMCSA acknowledges
receipt in writing, and the route is
published in FMCSA’s NHMRR. The
Office of Management and Budget has
approved these collections of
information under control number
2126–0014, Transportation of
Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Notice of Final Federal Agency Action on Proposed Highway Project
in Georgia, the Courtesy Parkway Extension From Old Covington Highway
to Flat Shoals Road, Rockdale County, Georgia (Atlanta Metropolitan
Area)
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of limitations on claims for judicial review of action
by FHWA and other federal agencies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal
agencies that are final. This final agency action relates to the
construction of the new roadway, known as the Courtesy Parkway
Extension, which would bridge over Interstate 20 (I-20) and tie into
Flat Shoals Road east of Old Salem Road in Rockdale County, Georgia.
The FHWA's Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on
the Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.
DATES: By this notice, FHWA is advising the public of the final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed on or before November 15, 2021. If the
Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim provides a time
period of less than 150 days for filing such claim, then that shorter
time period still applies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For FHWA: Mr. Aaron Hernandez,
Environmental Coordinator, Federal Highway Administration Georgia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA has taken a
final agency action by issuing a FONSI for the following highway
project in the State of Georgia: The Courtesy Parkway Extension located
in Rockdale County, Georgia. The proposed project will increase north-
south connectivity between residential areas south of I-20 and
commercial areas north of I-20, provide congestion relief, and reduce
the frequency and severity of crashes along SR 138/McDonough Highway
through the construction of a new location roadway, Courtesy Parkway
Extension (N 33.645040, E-83.991673), that would bridge over Interstate
20 (I-20) and tie into Flat Shoals Road Southeast (SE) located
approximately 0.5 miles east of Old Salem Road SE and includes
connecting roads to Iris Drive. The project would include a new, three-
lane, undivided urban roadway from Old Covington Highway to Flat Shoals
Road, totaling 1.5 miles. The roadway would bridge over I-20, 1,200
feet east of the existing Courtesy Parkway and would include connection
roadways to tie into Iris Drive. The roadway would intersect with
Courtesy Parkway alignment from this intersection to Old Covington
Highway. The project would include intersection improvements on Flat
Shoals Road, Old Covington Highway, and Iris Drive for additional turn
lanes. The typical section of the roadway would include curb, gutter,
and sidewalk. Five-foot sidewalks are proposed on the existing roads,
including Flat Shoals Road and Old Covington Highway as well as the
proposed new roadway. Six-foot sidewalks would be added to the proposed
bridge.
