 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 640--CERTIFICATION ACCEPTANCE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 640.105  Effect of certification acceptance.

    (a) Acceptance of a State certification permits a State to discharge 
certain responsibilities otherwise assigned to the Secretary under title 
23, U.S.C., for Federal-aid highway projects. A State may permit 
performance and project certification by capable local governments.
    (b) Acceptance of a State certification does not constitute a 
commitment or obligation of Federal funds.
    (c) Acceptance of a State certification does not preclude FHWA 
access to and review of a Federal-aid project at any time.
    (d) Certification acceptance as an alternative procedure does not 
replace the fundamental provisions of law in title 23, U.S.C., with 
respect to the basic structure of the Federal-aid highway program. 
Acceptance of a CA proposal does not preclude application of any 
provision of title 23, U.S.C., that may be advantageous to the State.
    (e) Nothing in this part shall affect or discharge any 
responsibility or obligation of the FHWA under any Federal law other 
than title 23, U.S.C.
