Abstract:Under the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program created by SAFETEA-LU and continued under MAP-21, federal transportation law has authorized delegating the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review and approval processes to state Departments of Transportation. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is the second state DOT to assume this responsibility. The research assists the Environmental Affairs Division of TxDOT with the interpretation of the roles and responsibilities outlined in its current MOU with FHWA. The report includes an analysis of FHWA’s audit findings for the California Department of Transportation’s implementation of NEPA Assignment, and makes recommendations for performance measures. The report identifies risks for MOU noncompliance through a case law review of NEPA and has developed a series of training power points for different groups involved in NEPA documentation.
