2125-AF66 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2125 Federal Highway Administration FHWA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Additional Authorities for Planning and Environmental Linkages

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.
