SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 26, 2021, at 86 FR 47705, FHWA published in the Federal
Register a notice on the re-designation of the PHFS pursuant to 23
U.S.C. 167(d)(2).
Each re-designation of the network may increase the mileage on the
PHFS by not more than 3 percent of the total mileage of the system. The
current PHFS consists of 41,518 centerline miles of roadway and is a
component of the National Highway Freight Network. The re-designation
initiated through this notice may add up to 1,246 miles of additional
mileage to the current PHFS. Please be advised that this notice and
process is not related to prior notices and processes for the
designation of the National Multimodal Freight Network at 81 FR 36381
(June 6, 2016) and 82 FR 49478 (October 25, 2017).
State Freight Advisory Committees, represented by their States, are
invited to submit comments. Other entities are encouraged to engage
directly with their State Freight Advisory Committee or the State
department of transportation.
The original comment period for the notice closes on October 25,
2021. However, DOT stakeholders have expressed concern that this
closing date does not provide sufficient time for submission of
comments to the docket. To allow time for interested parties to submit
comments, the closing date is changed from October 25, 2021, to
December 15, 2021.
