Resumo

In accordance with section 1318(a)(2) of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) the FHWA and the FTA have surveyed the use of Categorical Exclusions (CE) by the Department in transportation projects since 2005, described the types of actions categorically excluded and any requests previously received by the Secretary for new CEs, and completed a solicitation of requests for new CEs from State departments of transportation (SDOT), transit authorities, metropolitan planning organizations (MPO), or other government agencies. This survey review captures the results of these activities. The FHWA and FTA are issuing this notice to advise the public that the CE survey review is now available on the FHWA Web site, http:// www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21, and FTA Web site, http://www.fta.dot.gov/map21.
