Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - TRANSPORTATION, DEPARTMENT OF › Title 414 - NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF ROADS - COMMUNICATION DIVISION › Chapter 1 - Nebraska Scenic Byways Program › Section 414-1-011 - MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE

Current through June 17, 2024
011.01 The Nebraska Scenic Byway Management
  Committee will monitor the performance of each Byway Management Team in
  developing and following its Byway Management Plan within 24 months after the
  byways' date of official designation, or upon completion and approval of each
  byway's Byway Management Plan, whichever occurs first.
011.02 Each Byway Management Plan must be
  approved by the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee. If a Byway Management Team
  fails to submit an acceptable Byway Management Plan within 24 months of the
  date of its official designation, that byway will be automatically
  de-designated on that same date. No replacement byway(s) will be named. The
  Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee will notify the Byway Management Team in
  writing 60 days prior to the date of automatic de-designation and again at the
  date of automatic de-designation. Program benefits will cease immediately upon
  automatic de-designation.
011.03
  The Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee itself will terminate 24 months after the
  byways' date of official designation, or upon completion and approval of each
  byway's Byway Management Plan, whichever occurs first.
011.04 Following the termination of the
  Nebraska Scenic Byway Management Committee and prior to 36 months beyond the
  date of official designation, monitoring will be the responsibility of the
  Nebraska Tourism Commission and the Nebraska Department of Roads as the state
  agencies administering ongoing program benefits. These state agencies may
  continue to monitor the performance of each Byway Management Team after 36
  months beyond the date of official designation.
011.05 The Nebraska Tourism Commission and
  the Nebraska Department of Roads may cancel any or all benefits within 36
  months of the date of official designation as a result of a Byway Management
  Team's lack of progress in completing or implementing its Byway Management
  Plan.
011.06 After 36 months beyond
  the date of the byways' official designation, each program benefit will
  continue to be delivered only at the sole discretion of the appropriate Lead
  State Agency (see Section 009). There is no commitment on the part of any
  Nebraska state agency to continue any program benefit of the Nebraska Scenic
  Byways Program beyond 36 months after the date of the byways' official
  designation. The Nebraska Tourism Commission and the Nebraska Department of
  Roads may cancel any or all program benefits, including removal of byway logo
  route markers, after 36 months beyond the date of official designation for any
  reason. There is also no prohibition preventing any Nebraska state agency from
  continuing any program benefit of the Nebraska Scenic Byways Program beyond 36
  months after the date of the byways' official designation.
011.07 Except in the case of automatic
  de-designation, 60 days prior to canceling ongoing program benefits, the
  director of the applicable agency will notify the affected Byway Management
  Team in writing. If the Byway Management Team is no longer in existence,
  written notification will be provided to the clerks of all municipalities and
  counties within a 40-mile radius of the designated byway. Upon subsequent
  evidence of corrective action and/or extenuating circumstances, the director
  will determine whether to revoke, delay or proceed with such
  cancellation.
011.08 There will be
  no further Scenic Byways designated under this program beyond the
  Director-State Engineer's one-time designation referred to throughout these
  regulations.
