Abstract: Major projects are defined in section 106(h) of title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), as projects receiving Federal financial assistance with an estimated total cost of $500,000,000, or other projects as may be identified by the Secretary. Major projects are typically large, complex projects designed to address major highway needs and require the investment of significant financial resources. Section 106(h) of title 23 requires project sponsors of major projects to prepare and submit a project management plan and an annual financial plan to FHWA. These plans help FHWA to ensure that effective project management and financial management techniques are being utilized on major projects. Section 106(i) of title 23 requires project sponsors of other projects with an estimated total cost of $100,000,000 or more that is not covered by subsection (h) to prepare annual financial plans that are to be made available to the Secretary for review upon the request of the Secretary.
