Summary
This notice announces that FRA and FTA (Agencies) have received and reviewed an application package from the State of Utah (State), Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), requesting participation in the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program (Program). Under the Program, the Agencies may assign, and a State may assume, responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and all or part of the Agencies' responsibilities for environmental review, consultation, or other actions required under any Federal environmental laws except certain statutory exclusions with respect to one or more railroad projects and one or more public transportation projects within the State. The Agencies have determined the application package to be complete and developed a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State outlining how UDOT will implement the Program with the Agencies' oversight. The public is invited to comment on UDOT's request, including its application package and the proposed MOU, which includes the proposed assignments and assumptions of environmental review, consultation, and other activities.
