Failure to do so may subject the State to a penalty pursuant to 23 U.S.C. If upon consultation with the FHWA a decision is reached that minor adjustments made by a State are not legitimately attributable to road or bridge construction or safety, the FHWA will inform the State, and the original conditions of the freeze must be reimposed immediately. Requests for extension of time beyond the originally established conclusion date shall be subject to the same approval and publications process as the original request. If the adjustment is approved, the FHWA will publish the notice of adjustment, with an expiration date, in the Federal Register. If the adjustment involves vehicle operating restrictions, the State shall list the restrictions that have been removed or modified. To the extent possible, the geometric and pavement design characteristics of the alternate route should be equivalent to those of the highway section which is temporarily unavailable. If the adjustment involves alternate route designations, the State shall describe the new route on which vehicles otherwise subject to the freeze imposed by 23 U.S.C. When such adjustments are needed, a State must submit to the FHWA, by the end of the 30th day, a written description of the emergency, the date on which it began, and the date on which it is expected to conclude.
Minor adjustments which exceed 30 days require approval of the FHWA. Minor adjustments which last 30 days or less may be made without notifying the FHWA. 31112 and in effect on J(July 6, 1991, for Alaska). (c ) For specific safety purposes and road construction, a State may make minor adjustments of a temporary and emergency nature to route designation and vehicle operating restrictions applicable to combinations subject to 23 U.S.C.
