The report will contain a comprehensive list of each project of national and regional significance that has been compiled through a survey of State departments of transportation. To compile a comprehensive list of projects intended by Congress, FHWA will survey all eligible applicant groups for the PNRS program; this includes State departments of transportation, transit agencies, tribal governments, and multi-state or multi-jurisdictional groups.
