[INSERT NAME] Division Administrator EXECUTION BY THE [INSERT NAME OF STATE DOT] Executed this day of , 201 . [INSERT NAME] The Division should refer to xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/office/fhwa.hq/OfficeofInfrastructure/hipa/SO/Resources/ for the latest updated version of this table. If FHWA retains an action the State could have assumed (on the NHS) or has a right to assume (off the NHS), the affected projects become PoDI projects. 1 Matrix users may find it easier to identify such situations if you mark such instances in the matrix with a note or asterisk (*). 1 The following are considered PoDI projects: Major Projects (>$500M); Appalachian Development Highway Projects; TIGER Discretionary Grant Projects; NHS Projects with Retained FHWA Project Approval; Non-NHS Projects with Retained FHWA Project Approval; and Projects Selected by FHWA for Risk-based Stewardship & Oversight. Regardless of retained project approval actions, any Federal-aid Highway Project either on or off the NHS that the Division identifies as having an elevated level of risk can be selected for risk-based stewardship and oversight and would then be identified as a PoDI. Please see “Projects of Division Interest (PoDI)/Projects of Corporate Interest (PoCI) Guidance (available at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx/federalaid/stewardship/ ) The State DOT is responsible for ensuring all individual elements of the project are eligible for FAHP funding, but all final eligibility and participation determinations are retained by FHWA.

REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT BLACK INTENTIONALLY The following matrix identifies Federal-aid highway program (FAHP) project approvals and related responsibilities on a program-wide basis. The matrix specifies which actions are assumed by the State under the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as those which are reserved to FHWA. Projects classified as PoDI projects are not covered by the matrix, as those projects will be governed by a separate PoDI plan that specifies FHWA and State responsibilities for the project. In the matrix, actions marked with an asterisk (“FHWA*”) are those that FHWA has retained but that could have been assumed by the State through FHWA discretion (on the NHS) or by right (off the NHS).
