guidelines, or for specific inquiries
about the Department’s statistical

listed in the guidelines.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to The Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–58), H.R. 3684,
Title I Federal-Aid Highways, Subtitle C
which directs the Secretary to develop
guidance for the acceptance and use of
geomatic information obtained from a
non-federal entity, the Department has
identified a standard to serve as
guidance. The Project Development and
Design Manual for Federal Lands
Highways, maintained by the Western
Federal Lands Highway Division,
provides policies and guidance for
project development and design
activities related to Federal Lands
Highways and can serve as guidance for
similar projects. The manual was
created in 1988 and is updated
regularly. Additionally, it contains
background and reference material,
including specific information about
techniques, theory, and specifications.
DOT will adopt Chapter Five of the
Project Development and Design
Manual for Federal Lands Highways
(https://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/
design/pddm/Chapter_05.pdf) as the
standard for the acceptance and use of
geomatic information obtained from a
non-federal entity. In instances where
the manual’s guidance does not apply to
geomatic information obtained by a
DOT Operating Administration (OA),
the OA will have the flexibility to
develop and maintain modal-specific
geomatic information guidance.
Examples of existing modal-specific
geomatic information guidance include:
(1) FAA Advisory Circulars which
contain detailed requirements and
standards for airport surveys and flight
procedures. (examples: AC16B, AC17C,
AC18B)
(2) PHMSA’s Pipeline Operator
Standards Manual (https://www.npms.
phmsa.dot.gov/Documents/Operator_
Standards.pdf), which defines
positional accuracy requirements for gas
transmission and hazardous liquid
pipelines.
DOT is monitoring the development
of candidates for geomatic guidance and
will assess the need for updates to this
policy statement.
The updated guidelines are available
on the Department’s website at https://
flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/design/
pddm/Chapter_05.pdf and in the
docket. The Department seeks comment
