Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); request for comments.

This document proposes to amend the regulation on planning and research program administration to reflect legislative changes due to enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA- 21); remove provisions that are no longer necessary; and make several changes in terminology. Most notable among the changes are renumbering of the State planning and research (SPR) funds section in title 23, United States Code, Highways (title 23, U.S.C.) from section 307(c) to section 505; revisions to 23 U.S.C. 302 that now allow a State transportation department to be reimbursed for indirect costs; and changes in the Federal-aid highway program categories from which SPR funds are set aside.
