(a) Purpose. This section describes when additional
notice and opportunity to comment must be provided to owners of adjoining
property, and affected local governments and public officials, following
project approval.
(b) When to provide additional notice and opportunity
to comment. Under Transportation Code, §203.022(b), the project
sponsor will provide an additional notice and opportunity to comment
for a project that has received project approval if:
(1) the project adds capacity or involves the construction
of a highway at a new location; and
(2) conditions relating to land use, traffic volumes,
and traffic patterns have changed significantly since the project
was originally subject to public review and comment.
(c) Comment deadline. The notice required by subsection
(b) will specify a comment deadline of no sooner than 15 days after
the date that such notice is provided. If the notice is sent by United
States mail, the minimum comment period begins on the third day after
the date that the notice is mailed.
(d) Documentation requirements. The project sponsor
will maintain records of all notices made and written comments received.
