Action
Final rule.
Summary
This document amends 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). It removes provisions that are no longer necessary, makes several changes in terminology, and incorporates revisions based upon comments received during the notice of proposed rulemaking. Most notable among the changes are renumbering of a State planning and research (SPR) funds section (i) that now allow a State department of transportation (State DOT) to be reimbursed for indirect costs; and changes in the Federal- aid highway program categories from which SPR funds are set aside.
