View Rule

This rulemaking would propose amendments to 23 CFR parts 450 and 771, as well as amendments to the authorities in 49 CFR parts 613 and 622, to reflect section 1310 of MAP-21 granting an additional authority for the use of planning products in the environmental review process required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Specifically, through this rulemaking FHWA and FTA would interpret and implement MAP-21's additional authority for FHWA and FTA to use planning products developed by States, MPOs, and other agencies during the transportation planning process in the environmental review process for a project.
