The document is a letter submitted by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in support of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) to delegate responsibilities for categorical exclusions (CEs) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to the state of Utah. The letter argues that allowing states like Utah to assume responsibility for CEs will reduce the time required for environmental reviews and approvals. ARTBA also calls for flexibility in determining which projects qualify for CEs and establishing a centralized database to promote consistent implementation of the delegation process across states.
