 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 420--PLANNING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION--Table of Contents
 
      Subpart A--Administration of FHWA Planning and Research Funds
 
Sec. 420.111  Work program.

    (a) Proposed use of FHWA planning and research funds shall be 
documented by the STAs and subrecipients in a work program(s) acceptable 
to the FHWA. Statewide, metropolitan, other transportation planning 
activities, and transportation RD&T activities may be administered as 
separate programs, paired in various combinations, or brought together 
as a single work program. Similarly, these transportation planning and 
RD&T activities may be authorized for fiscal purposes as one combined 
Federal-aid project or as separate Federal-aid projects. The expenditure 
of PL funds for transportation planning outside of metropolitan planning 
areas under Sec. 420.109(d) may be included in the work program for 
statewide transportation planning activities or in a separate work 
program submitted by the STA.
    (b) Work program(s) that document transportation planning activities 
shall include a description of work to be accomplished and cost 
estimates for each activity. Additional information on metropolitan 
planning area work programs is contained in 23 CFR 450.314. Additional 
information on research, development, and technology transfer work 
program content and format is contained in subpart B of this part.
    (c) The STAs that use separate Federal-aid projects in accordance 
with Sec. 420.111(a) shall submit, in addition to the financial 
information specified below for each program, one overall summary 
showing the funding for the entire FHWA funded planning, research, 
development, and technology transfer effort. Each work program shall 
include a financial summary that shows:
    (1) Federal share by type of fund;
    (2) Matching rate by type of fund;
    (3) State and/or local matching share; and
    (4) Other State or local funds.
    (d) The STAs and MPOs also are encouraged to include cost estimates 
for transportation planning, research, development, and technology 
transfer related activities funded with other Federal or State and/or 
local funds; particularly for producing the FHWA-required data specified 
in paragraph (b) of Sec. 420.105, for planning for other transportation 
modes, and for air quality planning activities in areas designated as 
nonattainment for transportation-related pollutants in their work 
programs. The MPOs in Transportation Management Areas shall include such 
information in their work programs in accordance with the provisions of 
23 CFR part 450.

(The information collection requirements in Secs. 420.111(a), (b), and 
(c), and 420.117(b) and (c) for metropolitan planning areas have been 
approved by the OMB and assigned control number 2132-0529.)
