Federal Highway Administration January 31, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces that FHWA has received and reviewed a renewal package from the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) requesting renewed participation in the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program (Program). This Program allows for FHWA to assign, and States to assume, responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and all or part of FHWA's responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, or other actions required under any Federal environmental law with respect to one or more Federal highway projects within the State. The FHWA determined the renewal package to be complete and developed a draft renewal MOU with DOT&PF outlining how the State will implement the Program with FHWA oversight. The public is invited to comment on DOT&PF's renewal package, which includes the draft renewal MOU that describes the proposed assignments and assumptions of environmental review, consultation, and other activities.
