Transportation Department publishes 23 notices in week ending March 19

There were 23 notices published by the Transportation Department in week ending March 19, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Announcement of Fiscal Year 2021 Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program Project Selections, was submitted on March 18, 2022.

The Transportation Department published 37 the week before, marking a 37.8 percent decrease.

The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
