Abstract: This rulemaking would examine whether to
revise the regulation on National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) to
incorporate current, state-of-the-art bridge inspection practices that
public authorities may be using. It has been fourteen years since the NBIS
regulations were updated. The experience, material, and technology changes
over time dictate that the FHWA take a fresh look at these regulations.
The FHWA has received some unsolicited comments from engineers,
inspectors, transportation planners, and others recommending a number of
changes to the FHWA's NBIS regulations. In revising these regulations the
FHWA is considering incorporating a number of the FHWA policy memorandums
and technical advisories into the regulation. |
