Action
Final rule.
Summary
This rule updates the regulations governing the procurement, management, and administration of engineering and design related services directly related to a highway construction project and reimbursed with Federal-aid highway program (FAHP) funding. In issuing the final rule, FHWA revises the regulations to conform to changes in legislation and other applicable regulations [including the DOT's recent adoption of the revised "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards," and removal of outdated references] and addresses certain findings and recommendations for the oversight of consultant services contained in national review and audit reports.
