Abstract:Until October 1, 1983, consultation between State and local officials and Federal agencies concerning Federal programs and activities had taken place through a process established by the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-95, "Evaluation, Review and Coordination of Federal and Federally Assisted Programs and Projects." The A-95 system required state and local governments to follow prescribed procedures to review Federal programs and was implemented for UMTA programs by UMTA/FHWA joint regulations published on August 9, 1976. On July 14, 1982, Executive Order 12372 was issued. The Executive Order revoked 0MB Circular A-95, and provided a new system of intergovernmental consultation involving a State process for review of Federal activities. When state and local elected officials use this new process to comment on proposed UMTA projects, UMTA will have to address these comments. For those cases where the concerns cannot be accommodated, UMTA must provide a written explanation of its decision in a timely manner. This accommodation or explanation provision gives greater weight to state or local views than provided by Circular A-95. State and local officials can still make their views known directly to UMTA; however, under the final rule the requirement for UMTA to accommodate or explain only applies to recommendations made through a formal State process.
