ACTION: Final report. 

SUMMARY: Section 6005 of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) established the 

Surface Transportation Project Delivery 

Pilot Program, codified at 23 U.S.C. 327. 

To ensure compliance by each State 

participating in the Pilot Program, 23 

U.S.C. 327(g) mandates semiannual 

audits during each of the first 2 years of 

State participation. This final report 

presents the findings from the fifth 

FHWA audit of the California 

Department of Transportation (Caltrans) 

under the pilot program.

Printing Office’s Web site at http://

Background 

Section 6005 of SAFETEA–LU 

(codified at 23 U.S.C. 327) established a 

pilot program to allow up to five States 

to assume the Secretary of 

Transportation’s responsibilities for 

environmental review, consultation, or 

other actions under any Federal 

environmental law pertaining to the 

review or approval of highway projects. 

In order to be selected for the pilot 

program, a State must submit an 

application to the Secretary. 

On June 29, 2007, Caltrans and FHWA 

entered into a Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) that established 

the assignments to and assumptions of 

responsibility to Caltrans. Under the 

MOU, Caltrans assumed the majority of 

FHWA’s responsibilities under the 

National Environmental Policy Act, as 

well as the FHWA’s responsibilities 

under other Federal environmental laws 

for most highway projects in California. 

To ensure compliance by each State 

participating in the Pilot Program, 23 

U.S.C. 327(g) requires the Secretary to 

conduct semiannual audits during each 

of the first 2 years of State participation; 

and annual audits during each 

subsequent year of State participation. 

The results of each audit must be 

presented in the form of an audit report 

and be made available for public 

comment. The FHWA solicited 

comments on the fifth audit report in a 

Federal Register Notice published on 

December 3, 2010, at 75 FR 75532. The 

FHWA received no comments. This 

notice provides the final draft of the 

fifth FHWA audit report for Caltrans 

under the pilot program. 

Authority: Section 6005 of Pub. L. 109–59; 

23 U.S.C. 315 and 327; 49 CFR 1.48.

Surface Transportation Project Delivery 

Pilot Program 

Federal Highway Administration Audit of 

California Department of Transportation 

July 26–30, 2010 

Overall Audit Opinion 

Based on the information reviewed, it is 

the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 

audit team’s opinion that as of July 30, 2010, 

the California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans) continued to make progress toward 

meeting all responsibilities assumed under 

the Surface Transportation Project Delivery 

Pilot Program (Pilot Program), as specified in 

the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 1

with FHWA and in Caltrans’ Application for 

Assumption (Application). 

The FHWA commends Caltrans for its 

implementation of corrective actions in 

response to previous FHWA audit report 

findings. The FHWA also observed that 

Caltrans continued to identify and 

implement on a statewide Pilot Program basis 

best practices in use at individual Caltrans 

Districts (Districts). 

With the completion of FHWA’s fifth audit, 

Caltrans has now operated under the Pilot 

Program for 3 years. In compliance with the 

time specifications for the required audits, 

FHWA completed four semiannual audits in 

the first 2 years of State participation and has 

begun the annual audit cycle, beginning with 

this audit, which was completed July 30, 

2010. Collectively, the FHWA audits have 

included on-site audits to 9 of the 12 Districts 

and to the Caltrans Regional Offices 

supporting the remaining 3 Districts. The 

audit team continues to identify significant 

differences across the Districts in terms of 

implementing Pilot Program policies, 

procedures, and responsibilities. Examples of 

such differences include: Resource 

availability and allocation; methods of 

implementation; methods of process 

evaluation and improvement; and levels of 

progress in meeting all assumed 

responsibilities. It is the audit team’s opinion 

that the highly decentralized nature of 

operations across Districts continues to be a 

major contributing factor to the variations 

observed in the Pilot Program. As a result of 

this organizational structure, clear, 

consistent, and ongoing oversight by Caltrans 

Headquarters (HQ) over Districts’ 

implementation and operation of the Pilot 

Program responsibilities is necessary. A 

robust oversight program will help foster the 

exchange of information and the sharing of 

best practices and resources between 

Districts and will put the entire organization 

in a better position to more fully implement 

all assumed responsibilities and to meet all 

Pilot Program commitments. 

Due to the multiyear timeframes associated 

with more complex and controversial 

projects, the full lifecycle of the 

environmental review aspect of project
