Title: ●Regulatory Update of Transfer and Sanction Programs | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would update the Federal regulations to reflect the new legislative requirements of the section 154 and 164 programs and make minor clarifications reflecting longstanding interpretations of the statutes and regulations. On July 6, 2012, the President signed into law the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), Public Law 112-141. MAP-21 includes specific provisions related to 23 U.S.C. sections 154 and 164. These provisions were first established as part of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) in 1998 to encourage States to enact Open Container laws (23 U.S.C. section 154) and Repeat Intoxicated Driver laws (23 U.S.C. section 164), also referred to as Repeat Offender laws, meeting minimum Federal standards. States that fail to meet the requirements of these provisions are penalized by the reservation of apportioned Federal-aid funds. A State may elect to use the reserved funds for alcohol-impaired driving programs (transfer to the StateĀ“s section 402 apportionment) or to conduct Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) eligible activities (release to the State Department of Transportation). MAP-21 amended the procedures for reservation and use of apportioned Federal-aid funds for both programs. In addition, MAP-21 amended one of the minimum requirements States must meet under the section 164 program. | |
