Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review: Survey of FTA Stakeholders, 85584-85585 [2024-25003]

Download as PDF 85584 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 208 / Monday, October 28, 2024 / Notices program objective as an area of concern, described in the observations above, and will continue to evaluate this area in subsequent audits. Observation #9: Training Gaps The audit team reviewed ADOT’s 2021 training plan and ADOT’s PAIR responses pertaining to its training program. The ADOT’s EP staff training matrix indicates that while ADOT identifies the availability of staff training, many staff have not taken advantage of the opportunity for training, including other ADOT divisions subject to the 327 MOU provisions. The ADOT’s training plan identifies that the training interval for some topics, such as the NEPA Assignment Program, is only once per staff member regardless of the period of time since the previous round of training. Staff may benefit from regular ‘‘refresher’’ type training, especially as regulatory requirements and policy may change over time. No changes in response to this observation were made to the 2023 training plan. Finalizing This Report The FHWA provided a draft of the audit report to ADOT for a 14-day review and comment period pursuant to Part 11.4.1 of the MOU, as well as notification of the noncompliance observations. The ADOT provided comments which the audit team considered in finalizing this draft audit report. The audit team acknowledges that ADOT has begun to address some of the observations identified in this report and recognizes ADOT’s efforts toward improving their program. This includes an action plan defined by ADOT and the AZ Division Office to address non-compliance observations identified in the AZ Program reviews to date. The FHWA is publishing this notice in the Federal Register for a 30-day comment period in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 327(g). No later than 60 days after the close of the comment period, FHWA will address all comments submitted to finalize this draft audit report pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327(g)(2)(B). Subsequently, FHWA will publish the final audit report in the Federal Register.
