environmental responsibilities on any 

proposed projects meeting the criteria in

State a notification of noncompliance, 

and a period of not less than 120 days 

to take corrective action as FHWA 

determines necessary, and if the State 

fails to take satisfactory corrective 

action as determined by FHWA.

whether to execute this second renewal 

MOU. A copy of the proposed draft 

MOU is also posted on the Arizona
