ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program, commonly known as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment Program, allows a State to assume FHWA’s environmental responsibilities for review, consultation, and compliance for Federal highway projects. When a State assumes these Federal responsibilities, the State becomes solely responsible and liable for the responsibilities it has assumed, in lieu of FHWA. This program mandates annual audits during each of the first 4 years to ensure the State’s compliance with program requirements. This is the fourth and final audit of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) performance of its responsibilities under the NEPA Assignment Program. This notice finalizes the findings of the fourth and final audit report for FDOT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:21 Sep 18, 2023 Jkt 259001 Electronic Access An electronic copy of this notice may be downloaded from the specific docket page at: www.regulations.gov. Background The Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program, codified at title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), section 327, commonly known as the NEPA Assignment Program, allows a State to assume FHWA’s responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, and compliance for Federal highway projects. When a State assumes these Federal responsibilities, the State becomes solely liable for carrying out the responsibilities it has assumed, in lieu of FHWA. Effective December 14, 2016, FDOT assumed FHWA’s responsibilities for environmental review and the responsibilities for reviews under other Federal environmental requirements. Section 327(g) of Title 23, U.S.C., requires the Secretary to conduct annual audits to ensure compliance with the memorandum of understanding during each of the first 4 years of State participation and, after the fourth year, monitor compliance. The results of each audit must be made available for public comment. This notice finalizes the findings of the fourth audit report on FDOT participation in the program. A draft version of this report was published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2022, at 87 FR 76535, and was available for public review and comments. The FHWA received two responses to the Federal Register Notice during the public comment period for this draft report. One comment from the American Road and Transportation Builders Association voiced support for this program and another was made by a citizen. The citizen’s comment was unrelated to this report. Authority: Section 1313 of Public Law 112–141; section 6005 of Public Law 109–59; 23 U.S.C. 327; 23 CFR 773. Shailen P. Bhatt, Administrator, Federal Highway Administration. FINAL Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program, FHWA Audit #4 of the Florida Department of Transportation, May 2019 to April 2020 Executive Summary This is a report of the fourth and final audit of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) assumption of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) responsibilities under the Surface Transportation Project Delivery PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64509 Program. Under the authority of section 327 of Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), FDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) executed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on December 14, 2016, whereby FHWA assigned, and FDOT assumed, FHWA’s NEPA responsibilities and liabilities for Federal-aid highway projects and other related environmental reviews for transportation projects in Florida. The FHWA formed a team in January 2020 to conduct an audit of FDOT’s performance according to the terms of the MOU. The team held internal meetings and reviewed FDOT’s 2019 Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Manual and NEPA project files, FDOT’s response to FHWA’s pre-audit information request (PAIR), and FDOT’s NEPA Assignment Self Assessment Summary Report. The team presented initial project file observations to FDOT Office of Environmental Management (OEM) on June 26, 2020, and July 28, 2020. The team conducted virtual interviews with FDOT, resource agencies, and prepared preliminary audit results from September 21–24, 2020. The team presented these preliminary observations to FDOT OEM leadership on September 25, 2020. While FDOT continues to develop, revise, and implement procedures and processes required to carry out the NEPA Assignment Program, it is FHWA’s expectation that documentation to support a project’s decision will be included in the Statewide Environmental Project Tracker (SWEPT) system prior to project closeout. By addressing the observation in this report, FDOT will continue to assure a successful program. Overall, the team found that FDOT remains committed to delivering a successful NEPA Program. This report describes numerous successful practices, no observations, and one noncompliance observation. The FDOT has carried out the responsibilities it has assumed in keeping with the intent of the MOU and FDOT’s application. Through this report, FHWA is notifying FDOT of the one non-compliance observation that requires FDOT to take corrective action. The report concludes with the status of FHWA’s noncompliance observations from the first, second, and third audit reviews, including any FDOT self-imposed corrective actions. Background The purpose of the audits performed under the authority of 23 U.S.C. 327 is to assess a State’s compliance with the provisions of the MOU as well as all E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM 19SEN1
