On March 1, 2006, FHWA published
a notice in the Federal Register (71 FR
10586) announcing the creation of an
FHWA Web site to provide information
regarding STEP and to solicit public
input on the implementation strategy for
this program. After reviewing the
comments received in response to this
notice, FHWA published a notice in the
Federal Register on August 4, 2006 (71
FR 44348), announcing the posting of
the final STEP Implementation Strategy
on the STEP Web site. Additionally, this
notice requested suggestions be
submitted via the STEP Web site for the
lines of research that should be
undertaken in the STEP program.
The FHWA is issuing this notice: (1)
To announce revisions to the STEP
Implementation Strategy for the FY
2008 STEP, and (2) to solicit comments
on proposed research activities to be
undertaken in the FY 2008 STEP via the
STEP Web site. The STEP
Implementation Strategy was revised to:
update information on the graph and
chart regarding historical planning and
environment research funding, and to
add information about proposed FY
2008 STEP including proposed funding
levels, goals and potential research
activities.
Suggested lines of research activities
for the FY 2008 STEP may include
potential research ideas related to
highway safety and the Congestion
Initiative. Research activities related to
the Congestion Initiative could
specifically include ideas to relieve
urban congestion; unleash private sector
investment resources; promote
operational and technological
improvements and target major freight
bottlenecks and expand freight policy
outreach.
We invite the public to visit this Web
site to obtain additional information on
the STEP, as well as information on the
process for forwarding comments to
FHWA regarding the STEP
implementation plan. The URL for the
STEP Web site is http://

The FHWA will use this Web site as a
major mechanism for informing the
public regarding the status of the STEP.
