    (c) A project agreement, or modification to a project agreement, 
will be executed as required by 23 CFR Part 630, subpart C, Project 
Agreements.
    (d) The FHWA may accept projects based on inspections of a type and 
frequency necessary to ensure the projects are completed in accordance 
with appropriate standards. The State is to notify the FHWA when a 
project is complete and/or ready for such inspection and will certify 
that the plans, design, and construction for the project were in accord 
with the laws, regulations, directives, and standards contained in the 
State certification or such project exceptions as were approved by the 
State.
    (e) Revisions or amendments to State certifications will be made 
when necessary and processed as provided in Sec. 640.111(c). The 
existing State certification is to be reviewed periodically to determine 
its adequacy in light of this part, the statutes in effect at the time 
of the review, and the operational reviews made by FHWA.
