What normal delegation of authority procedures for decision making apply to this proposal?
FHWA Response: Normal delegation of authority procedures would apply to this proposal. The FHWA Virginia Division would be the primary decision-maker for the project. Decisions to be made by FHWA Headquarters would be the potential approval of I-81 as a toll pilot and the use of SEP-14. The FHWA Virginia Division may request prior concurrence from FHWA Headquarters on some aspects of the NEPA prior to taking a final action. Under Mega project procedures (for projects costing more than $1 billion), the Division would consult with Headquarters prior to our formal acceptance of the finance plan for the project.
