This notice announces that FHWA has received and reviewed an application from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) requesting participation in the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program (Program). This Program allows FHWA to assign and States to assume, responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), and all or part of FHWA's responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, or other actions required under any Federal environmental law with respect to one or more Federal highway projects within the State. The FHWA has determined the application to be complete, and developed a draft MOU with ODOT outlining how the State will implement the program with FHWA oversight. The public is invited to comment on ODOT's request, including its application, and the proposed MOU, which includes the proposed assignments and assumptions of environmental review, consultation and other activities to be assigned.
