PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. Attachment A, Project Action Responsibility Matrix, to this S&O Agreement identifies FAHP project approvals and related responsibilities. The Matrix specifies which approvals and related responsibilities are assumed by the State under 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as approvals and related responsibilities reserved to FHWA.
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. The following matrix identifies Federal-aid highway program (FAHP) project approvals and related responsibilities. The matrix specifies which ones are subject to State assumption 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. The following matrix identifies Federal-aid highway program (FAHP) project approvals and related responsibilities. 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. This matrix applies program wide; any revisions to project approval assumptions by the State, as shown in the matrix, will be handled on a project by project basis. When a change in project approval assumptions in determined appropriate for a specific project, the project will be classified as a Project of Division Interest (PoDI) and the project approval assumptions will be documented in a project oversight plan. Except as expressly stated in notes to the matrix below, the State cannot assume any item marked only as “FHWA” in either column. Any item marked only “FHWA” is reserved to FHWA because it is outside the scope of 23 U.S.C. 106(c), or otherwise is reserved to FHWA by law. 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. While FHWA may not delegate decision-making authority to a State unless authorized by law, FHWA may authorize a State DOT to perform work needed to reach the decision point, or to implement the decision.

PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. Attachment A, Project Action Responsibility Matrix, to this S&O Agreement identifies FAHP project approvals and related responsibilities. The Matrix specifies which approvals and related responsibilities are assumed by the State under 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as approvals and related responsibilities reserved to FHWA. SECTION IX. HIGH RISK CATEGORIES A. In 23 U.S.C. 106(c), Congress directs that the U.S. DOT Secretary shall not assign any approvals or related responsibilities for projects on the Interstate System if the U.S. DOT Secretary determines the project to be in a high risk category. Under 23 U.S.C. 106(c)(4)(8), the U.S. DOT Secretary may define high risk categories on a national basis, State-by-State basis, or national and State-by-State basis.
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. 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. While FHWA may not delegate decision-making authority to a State unless authorized by law, FHWA may authorize a State DOT to perform work needed to reach the decision point, or to implement the decision. 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). Projects requiring those actions are Projects of Division Interest (PoDIs)1 projects because of FHWA’s retained authority. Those projects will be governed by a separate PoDI Plan that specifies FHWA and State responsibilities for the project. 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.
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. Attachment A, Project Action Responsibility Matrix, to this S&O Agreement identifies FAHP project approvals and related responsibilities. The Matrix specifies which approvals and related responsibilities are assumed by the State under 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as approvals and related responsibilities reserved to FHWA. Assumption of project approvals specified in this matrix will apply program wide. Projects designated as Projects of Division Interest (PoDI) will follow the Project Action Responsibility Matrix contained in the Federal-Aid Highway Program Operation, Memorandum of Understanding, between the FHWA Minnesota Division and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. This matrix identifies the Federal-aid highway program (FAHP) project approvals and related responsibilities. The matrix specifies which actions are assumed by the [State name DOT/STA abbreviation] pursuant to this Stewardship and Oversight Agreement (“Agreement”) and certain other applicable authorities as specified in the tables in this Attachment A. The [State name DOT/STA abbreviation] is responsible for ensuring all individual elements of the project are eligible for FAHP funding. Where the [State name DOT/STA abbreviation] assumes authority to make a decision, approval, determination or action, the [State name DOT/STA abbreviation] decision does not constitute an eligibility, obligation, reimbursement, authorization, or compliance decision by or for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Final decisions on those matters must be made by FHWA.

PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. 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). 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.
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. Attachment A (Project Action Responsibility Matrix) to this S&O Agreement identifies FAHP project approvals and related responsibilities. The Matrix specifies which approvals and related responsibilities are assumed by WisDOT under 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as approvals and related responsibilities reserved for FHWA. For Division projects selected as either Projects of Corporate Interest (PoCIs) or Projects of Division Interest (PoDIs), project-level approval actions will be determined on a project-by- project basis. Specific PoCI and PoDI project-level approval actions are documented in the “FHWA and WisDOT Stewardship & Oversight of Projects through Implementation of a Risk- Based Approach” Agreement in either the PoDI Project Approval Responsibilities List (Attachment 2) or the applicable project-specific Major (Mega) Project Agreement (Attachment 3).
PROJECT ACTION RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX. Attachment A, Project Action Responsibility Matrix, to this S&O Agreement identifies FAHP project approvals and related responsibilities. The Matrix specifies which approvals and related responsibilities are assumed by the NHDOT under 23 U.S.C. 106(c) or other statutory or regulatory authority, as well as approvals and related responsibilities reserved to FHWA. Deviations from Attachment A will be documented on a project by project basis with the development of a PODI oversight plan. The PODI selection process is described in Attachment F.
