DOT/FHWA RIN: 2125-AD62 Publication ID: Fall 1995 
Title: ●Certification Acceptance 
Abstract: The FHWA is adopting an interim policy for certification acceptance (CA) which modifies the current FHWA policy published in the Federal Register on October 12, 1978, as amended. This interim policy streamlines and simplifies the existing procedures for CA applications to be consistent with the new program provisions in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The modifications simplify the current regulations by eliminating unnecessary and prescriptive requirements. The new policy will allow State highway agencies (SHAs) to use the CA alternate procedures to supplement the administrative flexibility provided in the ISTEA for non-Interstate projects.
