Summary: This rulemaking would implement a
statutory provision that requires any new bus model purchased after September
30, 1989, be tested at a facility established by the Secretary, by law, in
Altoona, Pa. FTA has published a series of seven interim final rules to
implement this requirement. FTA is considering whether to have to apply bus
testing requirements to new vehicle types and systems (e.g., bus rapid
transit). |

Summary: The FHWA and the FTA withdrew
this proposed rulemaking proceeding that proposed to update and revise the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementation regulation for projects
funded or approved by the FHWA and the FTA. The agencies intended to modify
the regulation to reflect experience gained in administering these
requirements and substantial changes in legislation that occurred since the
regulations were issued in 1987. The agencies have determined that the
proposed changes generated such a diversity and disparity of comments that
substantial further work is necessary to develop new proposals and
accommodate these comments. |

Summary: The FHWA and the FTA withdrew the
proposed rulemaking in which the agencies proposed to amend the requirements
on statewide and transportation planning. This withdrawal is based on the
level of critical comment received, the development of alternate means for
implementing the topics addressed in the NPRM and the pendency of
reauthorization of the surface transportation program. The agencies withdrew
this proposed rulemaking except for those sections that relate to
"consultation with non-metropolitan local officials," which is
addressed in the SNPRM published on June 19, 2002, at 67 FR 41648. |

Summary: The FHWA and the FTA jointly
issued a NPRM on May 25, 2000 (RIN 2132-AA66), which proposed revisions to
the regulations governing the development of transportation plans and
programs for urbanized (metropolitan) areas and statewide transportation
plans and programs. These revisions are a product of statutory changes made
by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) enacted on
June 9, 1998, and generally would revise existing regulatory language to make
it consistent with current statutory requirements. The FTA and FHWA received
numerous comments to the docket in response to this NPRM. The agencies are
proposing an additional option concerning consultation with local officials. |
