| 2017-20565 | Environmental Impacts and Related Procedures | Proposed Rule | This SNPRM provides interested parties the opportunity to comment on the proposed revisions to the FHWA and FTA joint regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 4(f) requirements. The FHWA, FRA, and FTA (hereafter referred to as "the Agencies") propose these revisions after the enactment of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which requires a rulemaking to address programmatic approaches in environmental reviews and makes other changes to existing law that should be addressed in a rulemaking. In this SNPRM the Agencies also propose to add FRA to regulations governing environmental impact and related procedures and the parks, recreation areas, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic site, making those regulations FRA's NEPA implementing procedures and FRA's Section 4(f) implementing regulations, respectively. This SNPRM proposes to modify the FHWA/FTA Environmental Impact and Related Procedures due to changes to the environmental review process made by the FAST Act and to modify the Parks, Recreation Areas, Wildlife and Waterfowl Refuges, and Historic Sites regulations due to new exceptions created by the FAST Act. Lastly, the Agencies request comments regarding the current FHWA and FTA definition of "existing operational right-of-way" in their respective categorical exclusion sections. The Agencies seek comments on the proposals in this document. | 2017-09-29 | 2017 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/29/2017-20565/environmental-impacts-and-related-procedures | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-09-29/pdf/2017-20565.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Highway Administration; Federal Railroad Administration; Federal Transit Administration | 492,170,185,193 | This SNPRM provides interested parties the opportunity to comment on the proposed revisions to the FHWA and FTA joint regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 4(f) requirements.
