§ 622.301 Buildings.
(a) FTA assistance for the construction, reconstruction, or modification of buildings for which applications are submitted to FTA after October 1, 1980, will be approved only after the completion of an energy assessment. An energy assessment shall consist of an analysis of the total energy requirements of a building, within the scope of the proposed construction activity and at a level of detail appropriate to that scope, which considers:
(1) Overall design of the facility or modification, and alternative designs;
(2) Materials and techniques used in construction or rehabilitation;
(3) Special or innovative conservation features that may be used;
(4) Fuel requirements for heating, cooling, and operations essential to the function of the structure, projected over the life of the facility and including projected costs of this fuel; and
(5) Kind of energy to be used, including:
(i) Consideration of opportunities for using fuels other than petroleum and natural gas, and
(ii) Consideration of using alternative, renewable energy sources.
(b) Compliance with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section shall be documented as part of the Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement for projects which are subject to a requirement for one. Projects for which there is no environmental assessment or EIS shall document compliance by submission of appropriate material with the application for FTA assistance for actual construction.
(c) The cost of undertaking and documenting an energy assessment may be eligible for FTA participation if the requirements of Federal Management Circular 74-4 (A-87) are met.
(d) This requirement shall not apply to projects for which the final project application or environmental assessment have been submitted to FTA prior to October 1, 1980.

typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-12577 RIN2125-AF69 Docket No.FHWA-2016-0008 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration Final rule. Effective on June 30, 2016. 23 CFR Part 771 SummaryThis final rule amends FHWA and FTA categorical exclusions (CE) for projects receiving limited Federal assistance to reflect a requirement in the Fixing America&apos;s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act to index for inflation the monetary thresholds for these CEs.

The amendments contained in this rule reflect statutory language in the FAST Act.
2015-11-20; vol. 80 # 224 - Friday, November 20, 201580 FR 72624 - Environmental Impact and Related Procedures
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2015-29413 RINFHWA; 2125-AF60 Docket No.FHWA-2015-0011 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Comments must be received on or before January 19, 2016. 23 CFR Parts 771 and 774 SummaryThis NPRM provides interested parties with the opportunity to comment on proposed revisions to the FHWA and FTA joint regulations that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act. The revisions are prompted by the enactment of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), which requires rulemaking to address programmatic approaches. This NPRM proposes to revise the FHWA/FTA Environmental Impact and Related Procedures and Parks, Recreation Areas, Wildlife and Waterfowl Refuges, and Historic Sites regulations due to MAP-21 changes to the environmental review process that FHWA and FTA have not previously captured in other rulemakings, such as the use of programmatic agreements and the use of single final environmental impact statement/record of decision documents. In addition, FHWA and FTA propose changes to the regulatory text to improve readability and to reflect current practice, consistent with an Executive order to improve regulations and regulatory review. The FHWA and FTA seek comments on the proposals contained in this notice.

Effective on October 16, 2014. 23 CFR Part 773 SummaryThis final rule amends the application requirements for the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Program (Program). This rulemaking is prompted by enactment of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), which converted the Surface Transportation Project Delivery Pilot Program into a permanent program, allowed any State to apply for the Program, created a renewal process for Program participation, and expanded the scope of the Secretary&apos;s responsibilities that may be assigned and assumed under the Program to environmental review responsibilities for railroad, public transportation, and multimodal projects, in addition to highway projects.

Comments must be received on or before April 29, 2013. 23 CFR Part 771 SummaryThis NPRM provides interested parties with the opportunity to comment on proposed changes to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration&apos;s (FTA) joint procedures that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The revisions are prompted by enactment of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). This NPRM proposes to add new categorical exclusions for projects within an existing operational right-of-way and projects receiving limited Federal funding, as described in MAP-21. The Agencies seek comments on the proposals contained in this document.
2013-02-19; vol. 78 # 33 - Tuesday, February 19, 201378 FR 11593 - Environmental Impact and Related Procedures
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2013-03494 RINFHWA; 2125-AF46 Docket No.FHWA-2012-0092 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration Final rule. Effective February 19, 2013. 23 CFR Part 771 SummaryThis final rule amends the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) joint procedures that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by enacting a new categorical exclusion (CE) for emergency actions as required by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The final rule modifies the existing lists of FHWA and FTA CEs and expands the existing CE for emergencies to include emergency actions as described in MAP-21 and pursuant to this rulemaking.
2013-02-07; vol. 78 # 26 - Thursday, February 7, 201378 FR 8964 - Environmental Impact and Related Procedures
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2013-02345 RIN2132-AB03 Docket No.FTA-2011-0056 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration Final rule. Effective on February 7, 2013. 23 CFR Part 771 SummaryThis final rule makes revisions to the joint Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The revisions are aimed at streamlining the FTA environmental process for transit projects, in response to the August 31, 2011, Presidential Memorandum titled “Speeding Infrastructure Development through More Efficient and Effective Permitting and Environmental Review.” The revisions also respond to Executive Order 13563&apos;s directive to periodically review existing regulations to determine if they can be made more effective and/or less burdensome. The new categorical exclusions (CEs) established by this rule, which affect actions by FTA and FTA grant applicants, are intended to improve the efficiency of the environmental review process by making available the least intensive form of review for those actions that typically do not have the potential for significant environmental effects, and, therefore, do not merit additional analysis and documentation associated with an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement.

Comments must be received on or before November 30, 2012. 23 CFR Part 771 SummaryThis NPRM provides interested parties with the opportunity to comment on proposed changes to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) joint procedures that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The revisions are prompted by enactment of Public Law 112-141, 126 Stat. 405, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). This NPRM proposes to modify an existing categorical exclusion (CE) for emergency repair projects under 23 U.S.C. 125 to include emergency projects as described in Section 1315 of MAP-21. This NPRM also requests comments on whether additional activities ought to be expressly included in the CE, consistent with the principles underlying emergency projects and sound transportation asset management. The FHWA and the FTA seek comments on the proposals contained in this notice.
