The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in coordination with the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) in Washington, DC is issuing this notice to advise agencies and the public that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to assess the impacts of potential effects of proposed transportation improvements in the South Capitol Street Corridor is being prepared.
Final Nationwide Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation and Determination for Federal-Aid Transportation Projects That Have a Net Benefit to a Section 4(f) Property
Document Number: 05-7812
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-04-20
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
The FHWA is issuing this approved final nationwide programmatic Section 4(f) evaluation (programmatic evaluation) for use in certain Federal (Federal-aid or Federal Lands Highway) transportation improvement projects where the use of publicly owned property from a Section 4(f) park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge or property from a historic site results in a net benefit to the Section 4(f) property. The application of this programmatic evaluation is intended to promote environmental stewardship by encouraging the development of measures that enhance Section 4(f) properties and to streamline the Section 4(f) process by reducing the time it takes to prepare, review and circulate a draft and final individual Section 4(f) Evaluation (individual evaluation) that documents compliance with Section 4(f) requirements. This programmatic evaluation provides a procedural option for demonstrating compliance with the statutory requirements of Section 4(f) and is an addition to the existing nationwide programmatic evaluations, all of which remain in effect. This programmatic evaluation can be applied to specific project situations that fit the criteria contained in the Applicability section. To fully realize the streamlining benefits of this programmatic evaluation, the FHWA and the Applicant (defined later) are encouraged to initiate coordination with the official(s) with jurisdiction (defined later) over a Section 4(f) property as early as possible and practicable to facilitate the assessment of benefits and harm to a Section 4(f) property.

Highway Bridge Program
Document Number: 05-7210
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-04-11
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
This document withdraws a proposed rulemaking action developed to revise the regulations governing the highway bridge replacement and rehabilitation program (HBRRP). The FHWA proposed to clarify ambiguous language, incorporate long-standing FHWA policies, and provide flexibility by including an alternate program applicable to all bridges, both on and off the Federal-aid system. However, during the comment period, we received comments questioning the legal authority for the alternative program as well as the quantitative benefits and impacts of the program. To evaluate these questions and issues, the FHWA is withdrawing the proposed rulemaking and intends to consider establishment of a special experimental program to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of the approach proposed in the alternative program.

Type: Notice
Date: 2005-04-07
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation

We published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period on this information collection on August 10, 2004 (69 FR 48556). We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise
Document Number: 05-6514
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-04-01
Agency: Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation
This final rule amends the FHWA regulation that specifies the traffic noise prediction method to be used in highway traffic noise analyses. The final rule requires the use of the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (FHWA TNM) or any other model determined by the FHWA to be consistent with the methodology of the FHWA TNM. It also updates the specific reference to acceptable highway traffic noise prediction methodology and removes references to a noise measurement report and vehicle noise emission levels that no longer need to be included in the regulation. Finally, it makes four ministerial corrections to the section on Federal participation.
