DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Projects of National and Regional 

Significance Survey 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

the Projects of National and Regional 

Significance (PNRS) survey required 

under section 1120 of the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21) will re-open on October 

2, 2014. The original survey period ran 

from May 29, 2014, to June 30, 2014. 

However, in order to develop a more 

comprehensive catalogue of Projects of 

National and Regional Significance to 

assist DOT in planning and investment 

decisionmaking, DOT will re-open the 

survey for 45 calendar days, including 

Federal holidays through November 17, 

2014. This will provide interested 

parties with an additional opportunity 

to submit projects for consideration and 

supplement existing submissions. The 

DOT may not consider responses 

submitted after November 17, 2014, so 

as to allow DOT to deliver the MAP–21 

mandated report to Congress within a 

reasonable timeframe. 

DATES: The PNRS survey will re-open 

from October 2, 2014 to November 17, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: To respond to the survey go 

to: http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/

Freight/infrastructure/nat_reg_sig/

index.htm. This Web site contains the 

survey instrument as well as details on 

the survey background, how the survey 

results will be used, and who is eligible 

to respond. Please note that entering the 

survey link does not require you to 

submit any information. 

For those who have already 

responded to the original PNRS survey, 

the re-opening of the survey does not 

affect your previously submitted 

responses. However, DOT strongly 

encourages those who participated in 

the original survey to review their prior 

submissions to determine if those 

submissions should be augmented with 

additional information. You may choose 

to resubmit your survey response, add 

more supporting documentation, 

withdraw it, or leave it as previously 

submitted.

questions about the PNRS survey,

Background 

Section 1301 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59; 119 Stat. 1144) 

established a program to provide grants 

to States for PNRS to improve the safe, 

secure, and efficient movement of 

people and goods throughout the United 

States and to improve the health and 

welfare of the national economy. 

Section 1120 of MAP–21 amended the 

PNRS program, including authorizing 

$500 million to carry out the program; 

however, no funds were appropriated 

for the program. Section 1120 of MAP– 

21 requires DOT to develop a report to 

Congress that contains a comprehensive 

list of each PNRS. The comprehensive 

list will enable the Secretary of 

Transportation to classify PNRS and to 

develop recommendations on financing 

for eligible project costs. 

On May 29, 2014, FHWA, on behalf 

of DOT, launched the initial PNRS 

survey that closed on June 30, 2014. The 

survey was emailed to stakeholders in 

the categories identified as ‘‘eligible 

applicants’’ in MAP–21 (State 

departments of transportation (State 

DOT), tribal governments, and transit 

agencies). On June 3, 2014, FHWA 

hosted a Webinar to inform stakeholders 

on the background and purpose of the 

PNRS survey, program eligibility, and 

survey content. 

Twenty-seven States and several 

transit authorities participated in the 

original survey, submitting a total of 143 

projects. While over half of the 50 States 

participated, many regions of the 

country provided limited or no 

participation. Therefore, the overall 

results were less than comprehensive. 

Purpose of This Notice 

The purpose of this notice is fourfold: 

(1) To define the PNRS Survey and 

project eligibility; (2) to re-open the 

PNRS Survey for a period of 45 calendar 

days (including Federal holidays); (3) to 

establish how DOT will conduct 

outreach with stakeholders and 

potential respondents; and (4) to 

provide additional guidance on 

responding to survey questions. 

PNRS Survey 

Section 1120 of MAP–21 requires the 

DOT to develop a report to Congress 

that contains a comprehensive list of 

each project of national and regional 

significance that has been compiled 

through a survey of State DOTs. The 

comprehensive list will enable the 

Secretary to classify PNRS and to 

develop recommendations on financing 

for eligible project costs. For purposes of 

the survey, Section 1120 of MAP–21 

defines PNRS as projects that: 

• Significantly improve the national 

or regional performance of the Federalaid highway system; 

• Generate national economic 

benefits, including increased access to 

jobs and labor; 

• Reduce long-term congestion and 

increase the speed, reliability, and 

accessibility of the movement of people 

or freight; 

• Improve transportation safety, 

including reducing transportation 

accidents, serious injuries, and 

fatalities; and 

• Can be supported by an acceptable 

degree of non-Federal financial 

commitments. 

Using the PNRS project definitions 

above, the DOT is conducting a 

nationwide survey. Responses to the 

survey are voluntary and will be used 

by DOT to compile and submit the
