AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is extending the comment period for a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and request for comments, which was 
published on November 13, 2024. The original comment period is set to 
close on January 13, 2025. The extension is based on concerns expressed 
by stakeholders that the January 13, 2025, closing date does not 
provide sufficient time to review and provide comprehensive comments. 
The FHWA recognizes that others interested in commenting may have 
similar concerns and agrees that the comment period should be extended. 
Therefore, the closing date for comments is changed to February 12, 
2025, which will provide stakeholders and others interested in 
commenting additional time to discuss, evaluate, and submit responses 
to the docket.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 12, 2025. Late 
comments will be considered to the extent practicable.

ADDRESSES: Mail or hand deliver comments to the U.S. Department of 
Transportation, Dockets Management Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue 
SE., Washington, DC 20590, or submit electronically at https://www.regulations.gov. All comments should include the docket number that

available for examination and copying at the above address from 9:00 
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., E.T., Monday through Friday, except Federal 
holidays. Those desiring notification of receipt of comments must 
include a self-addressed, stamped postcard or may print the 
acknowledgment page that appears after submitting comments 
electronically. Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all 
comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual 
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf 
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's

Background

Register an NPRM proposing changes to the Asset Management Plans and 
Management and Monitoring Systems regulations. The original comment 
period for the NPRM closes on January 13, 2025. Stakeholders have

time to review and provide comprehensive comments on the proposal. The 
FHWA recognizes that others interested in commenting may have similar 
concerns and agrees that the comment period should be extended by 30 
days for interested parties to submit comprehensive comments. The 
closing date is changed from January 13, 2025, to February 12, 2025.
