Federal Highway Administration February 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to announce actions taken by Caltrans, and USACOE, that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, Interstate 10 (I-10) at Tippecanoe Avenue (post mile [PM] 25.3 to PM 27.3). The project is located between the Cities of San Bernardino and Loma Linda, in San Bernardino County, State of California. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) will be prepared for the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges (Project) in Clark County, Indiana and Jefferson County, Kentucky.

This rule makes a technical correction to the regulations that govern the designation of routes on the National Highway System and the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways. The amendments contained herein make no substantive changes to FHWA regulations, policies, or procedures. The current regulation references a section of Title 23 of the United States Code that was later repealed by section 1106(c)(2)(A) of the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (Pub. L. 105-178). This rule also corrects outdated and incorrect directions for obtaining publications referenced in the regulatory text. This rule also corrects to 25 years the time period that routes designated by agreement as future Interstate routes must be constructed to meet Interstate Highway System standards. Finally, this rule corrects references to FHWA offices that are involved in reviewing and approving Interstate designation requests, due to Agency reorganizations.
