MAP-21 Unambiguously Authorized Cooperation of States and Local Governments

New section at 23 U.S.C. § 202 (a)(9)(A): “The cooperation of States, counties, or other local subdivisions may be accepted in construction and improvement.”

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Also Authorized BIA and FHWA to Transfer and Oversee Funds Received From States or Their Political Subdivisions

23 U.S.C. § 202 (a)(9)(B) provides that:

“any funds received from a State, county, or other local subdivisions shall be credited to appropriations available for the tribal transportation program.”

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Challenges For Tribes, States & Local Governments

  • States & local governments are usually not familiar

with Chapter 2 of Title 23/ TTP because their world is Chapter 1.

  • Tribes today are seeking a place at the table for state
  • r other non-tribal projects on their lands, in part as a

result of taking on “all but the inherently Federal functions” of the TTP under Program Agreements and

  • ther contract mechanisms.
  • Politics of tribal-state relationships sometimes

interfere with finding effective solutions benefitting tribes, states, counties, other governments and the traveling public.

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Funding Sources That May Be Eligible for a 202 (a)(9) Agreement

  • Overall - Federal-aid and other Funds

▫ Transportation Enhancement ▫ Surface Transportation Program ▫ Strategic Highway Research Program ▫ Other discretionary funds from programs authorized under Title 23, or any other funds from a state, county, or other local subdivisions.

  • Otherwise consistent with the mission of BIA and

FHWA.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

BIA & FHWA Coordination

  • Educating states and FHWA Division offices

about the new law. Finding opportunities.

  • 25 CFR § 170.627 requires an agreement among

Tribe, State and BIA/ FHWA describing source and use of funds.

  • A model agreement is now available
  • In most cases, States are relieved of oversight

responsibility.

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Moving Forward

  • FHWA’s fiscal office, working in cooperation

with its Office of Chief Counsel, has issued internal guidance for how to “move” funds under agreements using 23 USC 202 (a)(9).

  • This should further expedite the process for

moving funds back to FHWA and on to tribes.
