Federal Lands Access Program

Program Decision Committee Charter
State of Wyoming

[Purpose |
The purpose of this Statewide Agreement is to establish the procedures to be used in implementing the Federal
Lands Access Program (Access Program) in the State of Wyoming pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C §§ 201,
204 and 217.

Parties to the Agreement

The Programming Decisions Committee (PDC) within each State is comprised by a representative of the Federal
Highway Administration; a representative of the State Department of Transportation; and a representative of any
appropriate political subdivision of the State. ,

The PDC for the State of Wyoming includes:

e Federal Highway Administration (FHWA): Mr. Ryan Tyler, Planning & Programs Manager, FHWA —
CFLHD or designated representative;

e State Department of Transportation (SDOT): Mr. Delbert McOmie, Chief Engineer, WYDOT or
designated representative; and

© State Political subdivision: Mr. Jim Willox, Chairman, WCCA Transportation Committee or designated
WCCA appointee.

Use of Access Program Funds

In accordance with 23 U.S.C. § 204 (a) (1), funds made available under the Federal Lands Access Program shall
be used by the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of the appropriate Federal Land Management
Agencies (FLMAs) for:

(A) Transportation planning, research, engineering, preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, restoration,
construction, and reconstruction of Federal lands access transportation facilities located on or adjacent
to, or that provide access to, Federal land, and

i. adjacent vehicular parking areas;

ii. acquisition of necessary scenic easements and scenic or historic sites;

iii. provisions for pedestrians and bicycles;

iv. environmental mitigation in or adjacent to Federal land to improve public safety and reduce
vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity;

v. construction and reconstruction of roadside rest areas, including sanitary and water facilities;
and :

vi. other appropriate public road facilities, as determined by the Secretary;

(B) Operation and maintenance of transit facilities; and

(C) Any transportation project eligible for assistance under this title that is within or adjacent to, or that
provides access to, Federal land.

Although eligible applicants include State, county, tribal, municipal and local government, preference will be
given to state and county projects.

Pagel



The Access Program funds are allocated to the State by formula in accordance with 23 U.S.C. § 204. (b) (1).

Program of Projects, Project Solicitation and Project-Level Consultation with FLMAs

Programming decisions shall be made within each State by the PDC, which is required to cooperate with
applicable FLMAs before any joint discussion or any final programming decision.

FLMAs include, but are not limited to:

(a) The National Park Service

(b) The Forest Service

(c) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service

(d) The Bureau of Land Management

(e) The United States Army Corps of Engineers

(f) Other Federal agencies such as the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, etc.

Accordingly, the PDC will solicit for Access Program proposals, develop selection criteria, a ranking system and
evaluation process, select projects for award within the limit of available funding and develop a multi-year
program of projects. While the PDC will administer the project selection process, the PDC will also cooperate
with the applicable FLMA’s during this process. Projects eligible for Federal Lands Access Program funding
must be those projects or activities that are within, adjacent to or provide access to Federal land.

The PDC will generally meet annually. The meeting may be held face to face, via video, web or telephone
conference as deemed appropriate by the Committee. The objective of the meeting will be to develop a five to
seven year program of projects that can be accomplished with the amount of funding that may reasonably be
expected based upon current and past appropriations. After the program of projects has been approved by the
PDC, the FHWA will assemble the approved program and provide copies to the FMLAs and PDC.

The SDOT must incorporate the program of projects into its statewide transportation improvement program
(STIP) and will be responsible for coordinating program activities with the local agencies. If necessary, the SDOT
shall also forward a copy of the program to the appropriate metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for
incorporation into its transportation improvement program (TIP).

Transportation Planning / Management Systems

Statewide transportation planning will be performed concurrently in a manner consistent with, and not separate
from, planning processes required under 134 and 135 of Title 23, namely the statewide and MPO planning
processes. The PDC will establish a vision for statewide Access Program that is consistent with these planning
efforts. In collaboration with FLMAs, the PDC will prioritize a system of statewide Access Program
transportation facilities, thereby influencing the long-term direction of the Access Program in Wyoming.

Project Agreements

A project agreement shall be entered into between the FHWA and the other appropriate entities responsible for
the facility. Responsible parties may include: the SDOT, FLMAs, or other governmental or local governing
agencies. The purpose of the project agreement will be to document specific project responsibilities and
commitments. A project agreement will be entered into between the FHWA and a public agency on every
project.

Non-Federal Share

For projects carried out under the Federal Lands Access Program, the non-federal share shall be determined in
accordance with 23 U.S.C.§120. The non-Federal share of each project will be identified during the project
solicitation process and documented in the project agreement. The FHWA and SDOT will coordinate with the
project sponsor to determine the process, timing and non-federal match requirements.

Development of Projects

A signed project agreement will be required for all projects selected for award by the PDC. The project
agreement will establish a scope of work for a programmed project, roles and responsibilities of all parties
involved in the delivery of a project award, and establish a commitment for ongoing and long-term maintenance
of the completed project.

All projects shall be delivered in accordance with FHWA procedures; commitments for ROW acquisition and
utility relocation contribute to the matching requirement and must be documented in the project agreement.
Where appropriate, design exceptions should be documented.

Project delivery can be provided by the Federal Highway Administration - Central Federal Lands Highway
Division or others. The FHWA maintains strong relationships with Federal, State, local, and tribal partners.
The FHWA provides program stewardship and transportation engineering services for planning, design,
construction, and rehabilitation of transportation facilities on and providing access to Federal and tribal lands.

A Project Development and Design Manual (PDDM), developed by FHWA serves as a guide for administrators,
public officials within and outside FHWA who are responsible for advancing projects through the project
development process. Please see: www.flh.fhwa.dot.gov/resources/manuals/pddm/archives/2008.htm.

Please see: www.fhwa.dot.gov/federal-aidessentials for information and additional guidance for the project
development and delivery process under Title 23.

If it becomes evident during the development of the project, that the scope of the project or the anticipated
construction cost needs to be changed, the agency administering the project should initiate a request for PDC
action to approve the change. It shall be FHWA’s responsibility to receive requests and coordinate the
convening of the PDC.

Maintenance

After construction of a project, the public authority with jurisdiction over the facility will operate and maintain, or
cause to be maintained, the facility at their expense in accordance with 23 U.S.C. Section 116 and 23 CFR Section
660.115.

The project shall be accepted by the jurisdictional agency for operation and maintenance when all construction
work has been completed in substantial conformity with the approved plans and specifications and the project has
been inspected by the jurisdictional agency and accepted. Any environmental commitments noted in the contract
will be carried out and maintained or monitored by the public authority with jurisdiction over the road. After
construction, the jurisdictional agency shall not install, or permit to be installed, any signs, signals, or markings
not in conformance with the MUTCD.
