The FHWA is extending the comment period for a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and request for comments, which was published on February 20, 2015, at 80 FR 9231. The original comment period is set to close on April 21, 2015. The extension is based on concern expressed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) that the April 21 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 May 29, 2015, which will provide AASHTO and others interested in commenting additional time to discuss, evaluate, and submit responses to the docket.

Background

    Section 119 of title 23, U.S.C., requires the Secretary to 
establish a process that States DOTs would use to develop a State asset 
management plan. On February 20, 2015, FHWA published in the Federal 
Register an NPRM proposing to establish a process for the development 
of a State asset management plan to improve or preserve the condition 
of the assets and the performance of the National Highway System as 
they relate to physical assets. State asset management plans must 
include strategies leading to a program of projects that would: (1) 
Make progress toward achievement of the State targets for asset 
condition and performance of the NHS in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 
150(d), and (2) support progress toward the achievement of the national 
goals identified in 23 U.S.C. 150(b). 23 U.S.C. 119(e)(2). The 
development and implementation of an asset management plan is an 
important

[[Page 17372]]

part of the overall Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 
framework for enhancing the management and performance of 
transportation highway infrastructure funded through the Federal-aid 
highway program.
    The original comment period for the NPRM closes on April 21, 2015. 
The AASHTO has expressed concern that this closing date does not 
provide sufficient 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. To allow time for this organization and others to submit 
comprehensive comments, the closing date is changed from April 21, 
2015, to May 29, 2015.

    Authority: 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(1), 119.
