Drug Offender's Driver's License Suspension
Document Number: 2022-21722
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-10-11
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
FHWA amends its regulation governing each State's certification of whether they choose to enact and enforce drug offender's driver's license requirements or choose to oppose enacting or enforcing the drug offender's driver's license requirement.

Highway Safety is the top priority of both DOT and FHWA.

Reducing fatalities and serious injuries will continue to be a top priority of the Department and FHWA.

Drug Offender's Driver's License Suspension
Document Number: 2022-03172
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2022-02-18
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
FHWA proposes to amend its regulations governing each State's certification of whether they choose to enact and enforce drug offender's driver's license requirements or choose to oppose enacting or enforcing the drug offender's driver's license requirement. The regulations apply to each State and specify the steps that States must take to avoid the withholding of Federal-aid highway funds for noncompliance with the certification requirements. Highway Safety is the top priority of both DOT and FHWA. The changes that FHWA has proposed to the regulations will not negatively impact safety, efforts to combat substance abuse, or the substantive protections provided by the State certification requirements. Rather, they simply update the regulations to align with the wording of relevant statutes, increase clarity, and reduce administrative burden on States. Reducing fatalities and serious injuries resulting from impairment will continue to be a top priority of the Department and FHWA.
Diversion of Highway Revenues; Removal of Obsolete Regulation
Document Number: 2022-03173
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-02-15
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
Through this final rule, FHWA will remove a regulation from the CFR that has been rendered obsolete by the passage of subsequent legislation. The FHWA believes that because the underlying statutory authority for this regulation has substantially changed since adopted, this final rule eliminates any confusion that may be caused by its existence in the CFR.
Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program; Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Third Audit Report
Document Number: 2022-03171
Type: Notice
Date: 2022-02-15
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) established the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program that allows a State to assume FHWA's environmental responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, and compliance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related environmental authorities for Federal highway projects. When a State assumes these Federal responsibilities, the State becomes solely responsible and liable for carrying out the responsibilities it has assumed, in lieu of FHWA. This program mandates annual audits during each of the first four years of State participation to ensure compliance with program requirements. This notice announces the availability of the third audit report for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF).
