2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FHWA amends its regulation governing each State's certification of whether they choose to enact and enforce drug offender's driver's license requirements or choose to oppose enacting or enforcing the drug offender's driver's license requirement. The regulation applies to each State and specifies the steps that States must take to avoid the withholding of Federal-aid highway funds for noncompliance with the certification requirements. Highway Safety is the top priority of both DOT and FHWA. The changes that FHWA is making to the regulation will not negatively impact safety, efforts to combat substance abuse, or the substantive protections provided by the State certification requirements. Rather, they update the regulation to align with the wording of the relevant statute, increase clarity, and reduce administrative burden on States. Reducing fatalities and serious injuries will continue to be a top priority of the Department and FHWA.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the receipt and availability of an application for an incidental take permit (ITP) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and an associated draft habitat conservation plan (HCP). Additionally, consistent with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), we have prepared a draft low-effect screening form and environmental action statement supporting our preliminary determination that the proposed permit action qualifies for a categorical exclusion under NEPA. The Spring Mountain Raceway and Motor Resort has applied for an ITP under the ESA for their HCP for a 56-acre go-kart project in Nye County, Nevada. The ITP would authorize the take of Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) incidental to development, construction, and operation of the project. We invite the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies to comment on the permit application, proposed low-effect HCP, and NEPA categorical exclusion determination documentation. Before issuing the requested ITP, we will take into consideration any information that we receive during the public comment period.
