The comments and FHWA’s responses are below: Four comments were received, as shown below. Comment received from Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) on April 26, 2024. LADOTD requests that FHWA continue the service of issuance of Federal-aid eligibility letters. LADOTD expressed that it does not have staff and experience to determine MASH crashworthiness for roadside safety hardware and relies on the FHWA letters in order to decide of crashworthiness. LADOTD states that if states were to be solely responsible for determination of crashworthiness, it would be ideal to implement an online forum/message-board for the states to share data regarding crash tests reports, so that state subject matter experts could assist and or provide comments/ concerns regarding a particular device. FHWA acknowledge receiving the comment and will not respond to this comment because there is not contact information left. E:\FR\FM\19JYN1.SGM 19JYN1
