Title: Advance Construction of Federal-Aid Projects 
Abstract: This action would propose an amendment to subpart G, title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, Advance Construction of Federal-aid Projects, to revise the eligibility criteria in 23 CFR 630.703 for State advance construction projects. The proposed changes are intended to make 23 CFR 630.703 consistent with the advance construction statute at 23 U.S.C. 115, as amended by section 1501 of SAFETEA-LU. This proposed action would revise the regulation for advance construction of Federal-aid projects by removing the restriction that a State must obligate all of its allocated or apportioned funds, or demonstrate that it will use all obligation authority allocated to it for Federal-aid highways and highway safety construction, prior to the approval of advance construction projects. This proposal will also clarify that advance construction procedures may be used for all categories of Federal-aid highway funds, and that any available Federal-aid funds for which the project is eligible may be used when a project is converted to a Federal-aid project.
