23784 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 20, 2009 / Notices 

that signature authority remains as 

agreed to with the Deputy District 

Director. 

During the audit, the audit team 

learned of two memos, dated October 

2007, that delegated, for six Districts, 

the signature of individual Section 4(f) 

Evaluations to the Environmental Office 

Chiefs and the signature of EISs to the 

Environmental Division Chief or the 

District Director. 

This delegation is inconsistent with 

the FHWA clarification letter. 

Additionally, Chapter 38 of the SER is 

inconsistent regarding this delegation of 

signature authority for Draft EISs, 

indicating two different delegation 

signature authorities, one to the Deputy 

District Director and one to the Deputy 

District Director for Environmental 

Planning, in the sections ‘‘Signature 

Authorities’’ and ‘‘Signature Protocols.’’ 

(D4) Assignment of Section 6002 

Responsibility under the Pilot 

Program—Under MOU section 3.2.2, 

Caltrans is responsible for complying 

with the requirements of any applicable 

environmental law. Therefore, Caltrans 

is responsible for complying with 

SAFETEA–LU section 6002 (23 U.S.C. 

139) which defines provisions of the 

environmental review process. The 

SAFETEA–LU section 6002(d)(23 U.S.C. 

139(d)) states that a Federal lead agency 

for a highway project conducting a 

NEPA process under section 6002, in 

this case Caltrans, ‘‘shall identify, as 

early as practicable in the 

environmental review process for a 

project, any other Federal and nonFederal agencies that may have an 

interest in the project, and shall invite 

such agencies to become participating 

agencies in the environmental review 

process for the project.’’ 

In three of the six EIS project files 

reviewed, there were participating 

agency invitations sent out to only 5 to 

10 agencies per project. For those 

projects, the audit team, thorough 

interviews and review of project files, 

learned that more local, State, Federal, 

or tribal governmental agencies, either 

may have or already had, expressed an 

interest in the project and were 

therefore required to be an invited 

participating agency. 

The Caltrans’ third self-assessment 

included a section on ‘‘Understanding 

of Section 6002 Requirements,’’ and did 

not report any finding that requires a 

corrective action. 

Based on its review of project files 

and interviews with Caltrans staff, the 

audit team finds Caltrans’ compliance 

with its Pilot Program responsibilities to 

be deficient with regard to the intent 

and requirements of SAFETEA–LU 

section 6002 regarding inviting 

participating agencies. 

(D5) Corrective Action for Audit 

Deficiency—In three of the project files 

reviewed by the audit team that 

contained a class of action 

determination documentation, the class 

of action determination concurrence 

was issued the day before the third 

audit began, or actually, in two 

instances, the concurrence was issued 

during the audit. This is a failure to 

fully address the deficiency, 

‘‘Environmental Document Process— 

Class of Action Determination,’’ noted 

in the previous audit.
