1. ROUTINE APPLICATIONS
All applications, except those on the Interstate Highway
						System, other fully controlled access highways and those hereinafter specified,
						which comply with the Commission's regulations may be approved by the District
						Engineer or his/her authorized designee. Prints of the approved application and
						permit will be made as necessary for distribution to the applicant by the

						his/her authorized designee will make an on-site inspection and if the work has
						been completed in accordance with the permit, one print of the approved
						application will be signed on the line provided for installation inspection and
						filed in the District. If the installation is not in accordance with the
						permit, the District Engineer will advise the applicant, in writing, of such
						nonconformance and that additional work must be performed before the work under
						the approved permit will be accepted.
2. INTERSTATE AND OTHER CONTROLLED ACCESS
					 HIGHWAYS
All applications on the Interstate Highway System and
						other Fully Controlled Access Highways will be forwarded by the District Office
						to the State Maintenance Engineer with appropriate recommendation and all such
						applications that comply with the Commission's regulations may be approved by
						him after any necessary approval by the Federal Highway Administration is
						obtained. The original copy of the approved application will be forwarded back
						to the District Office for distribution to the applicant, filing and
						installation inspection as described in SECTION 400.1 above.
3. NON COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
All applications not in compliance with the Commission's
						regulations regardless of the type of highway involved will be given special
						attention by the District Engineer in order that the application may be changed
						to comply with all regulations. If such change cannot be effected, the
						application will be forwarded to the State Maintenance Engineer with full
						explanation, including valid reasons, if any, why the application cannot be
						brought into compliance. It may then be referred through channels for
						consideration as a special circumstance. If authorized, the State Maintenance
						Engineer will approve the application. The original copy of the approved
						application will be forwarded to the District Office for distribution to the
						applicant, filing and installation inspection as described in SECTION 400.1
						above.

						with highway traffic and all applications to open cut the surface of the
						roadway must be approved by the State Maintenance Engineer. Applications to
						open cut the surface of the roadway will show, in detail, the method used to
						replace the surface. When there is interference with highway traffic the
						application will show the traffic control plans as well as any necessary detour
						road. The original copy of the approved application will be forwarded to the
						District Office for distribution to the applicant, filing and installation
						inspection as described in SECTION 400.1 above.
