Action
Notice; extension of comment period.
Summary
The FHWA and FTA propose to extend the comment period for a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking, which was published June 19, 2002, at 67 FR 41648. The original comment period is set to close on August 19, 2002. The proposed extension stems from concern expressed jointly by the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the National Association of Counties (NACO), and the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) that the August 19 closing date does not provide sufficient time for response to the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking. The FHWA and FTA recognize that others interested in commenting may have similar time constraints and agree that the comment period should be extended. Therefore, the closing date for comments is changed to September 19, 2002, which will provide the AASHTO, NACO, NADO and others interested in commenting additional time to evaluate the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking and to submit responses.
