Background

    FHWA had initiated a rulemaking titled ``Update of 23 CFR part 630, 
subparts A and G,'' Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 2125-AG03, to 
update the regulations pertaining to project authorization and 
agreements and advance construction of Federal-aid projects in title 
23, Code of Federal Regulations, part 630. This rulemaking project was 
listed on FHWA's Unified Agenda; however, no Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register.
    Consistent with President Trump's commitment to ending unlawful, 
unnecessary, and onerous regulations, FHWA is reviewing its existing 
regulations and ongoing regulatory activities for alignment with law 
and Administration priorities. FHWA is terminating this rulemaking 
activity because further rulemaking action does not align with current 
Agency needs, priorities, and objectives. FHWA continues to consider 
the best means of addressing some or all of the implementation issues 
surrounding these regulations and the scope of any Agency actions FHWA 
concludes may be necessary related to implementing these regulations.
    In addition, all Agencies participate in the semi-annual Unified 
Agenda, which provides a summary description of the rulemaking actions 
that each Agency is considering or reviewing. Agencies' agendas are 
posted on the public website of the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, and portions are published in the Federal Register 
in the spring and fall of each year. The Unified Agenda is often used 
as a tool to solicit interest and participation from stakeholders. 
Termination of this rulemaking will allow FHWA to better align its 
entries on the Department's Unified Agenda with the Agency's needs, 
priorities, and objectives.
    Accordingly, for these independently sufficient reasons, FHWA is 
terminating the rulemaking associated with RIN 2125-AG03. By 
terminating the rulemaking, FHWA is indicating that it no longer 
considers this rulemaking to be pending. Should FHWA decide at a future 
date to initiate the same or similar rulemaking, FHWA will initiate a 
new rulemaking under a new RIN, consistent with the requirements of the 
Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5, United States Code, 553.

Gloria M. Shepherd,
Executive Director, Federal Highway Administration.
