  <description><![CDATA[ The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit 
Administration (FTA) have issued revised guidance for implementing a 
March 1999 Circuit Court decision affecting transportation conformity. 
In previous guidance issued on June 18, 1999, the FHWA and FTA 
indicated that projects that had received funding commitments for 
construction prior to the conformity lapse could proceed during a 
lapse. However, project development activities such as rightofway 
(ROW) acquisition and design that had received funding commitments 
prior to the conformity lapse could not proceed. After reviewing the 
implementation and effectiveness of the previous guidance, the FHWA and 
FTA decided to supplant the previous guidance and allow completion of 
all project phases during a conformity lapse, if such activities were 
approved prior to the lapse. The FHWA and FTA believe the revision is 
necessary for consistency and will help in streamlining the 
transportation planning and development process.
