Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation 

Notice of Availability of Guidance on 

Accelerated Decisionmaking in 

Environmental Reviews 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation, Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: DOT is announcing the 

availability of guidance implementing 

Section 1319 of MAP–21, on 

Accelerated Decisionmaking in 

Environmental Reviews. This section of 

MAP–21 provides for the use of errata 

sheets on the Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement, in lieu of a Final EIS 

(FEIS), when the EIS has limited or 

factual changes. It also states that the 

lead agency under NEPA shall issue a 

combined FEIS and ROD unless 

circumstances exist to make it 

impracticable. This eliminates the 30- 

day wait period between the release of 

the FEIS and ROD. This guidance builds 

on the interim guidance that was 

released by FHWA and FTA in January 

2013, but applies to the entire 

Department. The FHWA and FTA 

interim guidance is retained as a 

supplemental appendix specific to those 

agencies. The guidance is available at 

http://www.dot.gov/office-policy/

transportation-policy/guidanceaccelerated-decision-makingenvironmental-reviews.
