Abstract: In December 2015, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act outlined a set of fundamental requirements designed to change the way Federal Government agencies carry out their permitting and environmental review responsibilities for major infrastructure projects. Section 41003(a)(1)(A) of the FAST Act states that a “project sponsor of a covered project shall submit to the Executive Director and the facilitating agency notice of the initiation of a proposed covered project.” The statute goes on to describe the required information to be contained in this notice of initiation.
