TRB Webinar: Legal Issues Regarding NEPA Assignment for Federal Transportation Programs
179571

TRB Webinar: Legal Issues Regarding NEPA Assignment for Federal Transportation Programs

Transportation attorneys were invited to a webinar on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This webinar provided an overview of legal issues associated with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment Program for federal transportation programs. Currently, six state departments of transportation (DOTs) participate in the NEPA Assignment Program, which allows the state to assume the Secretary of Transportation's responsibilities under NEPA for one or more transportation projects that meet certain criteria. Presenters illustrated lessons learned that were encountered during the application process. They also discussed the memorandum of understanding with the U.S. DOT and present case studies from three states – Alaska, Utah, and Texas.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Transportation Law.

The slides are available. Contact TRB webinar for a copy of the recorded webinar.

Webinar Presenters

  • Richard O’Connell, Texas DOT
  • William Malley, Perkins Cole LLP
  • Sean Lynch, Alaska Department of Law

Moderated by: Jomar Maldonado, US DOT

Professional Development Hour Information

A certificate for 2 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) will be provided to Professional Engineers (PEs) who register and attend the webinar as an individual. For approved webinars, TRB’s webinar program awards Registered Continuing Education Provider (RCEP) Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits associated with participation only to the registered individual and not  to other members of a group that view the webinar together. To receive PDH credits, please register as an individual and sign into the webinar from your personal computer. After doing this, you may join your group in a meeting room. To be eligible for the credits, individuals must remain signed in for the entire webinar, including for any question and answer session following the presentations.

Individuals registered as Florida PEs are no longer required to email TRB with your license number to report your attendance. Instead, please use your certificate that TRB provides through RCEP.net as verification of your attendance to the Florida Board of Professional Engineers.

Please check with your licensing board to ensure that TRB webinar PDHs are approved by your board.

This webinar was developed in October 2018. TRB has met the standards and requirements of the Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP). Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to RCEP by TRB. Complaints about registered providers may be sent to RCEP, 1015 15th Street, NW, 8th Floor, Washington, DC 20005. Website: www.RCEP.net.

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credits

TRB is offering 1.75 CLE credits for this webinar. TRB did not seek approval for the above listed workshop from the state board, so we advise that you contact your state board prior to registering for the webinar to see if credits would be accepted. Registered webinar attendees who sign in and view the entire webinar will receive a link to a certificate that they can fill out and provide to their board. Complete a certificate for each state in which you are required to file. Rules for CLE in some states require the provider to file attendance with the regulator as a service to lawyers. Please confirm jurisdictional reporting requirements with the state regulator. This certificate should be filed with the appropriate MCLE Board(s) or Commission(s) within 30 days of activity. Introductory remarks, keynote addresses, business meetings, breaks, receptions, etc., are not included in the computation of credit. TRB will retain a copy of your attendance; however, TRB is not required to submit attendance to the board.
