The Current PPP Process
• Maximizing efficiency
• Meeting requirements without excess procedure
Identifying where the PPP can be streamlined
• Shortening amendment time
• Appropriate length of public review period
SACOG’s Example
• Public review period can often be as little as 7 days
• SACOG model separates amendments into 5 types
Type 1: Administrative Modification
• No public review period required
• Requires only manager approval
Type 2: Formal Amendment due to Funding Changes
Funding change is greater than allowed per Caltrans’ administrative procedures.
• Public review period required is 7 days
• Requires manager approval only
Type 3: Formal Amendments of Exempt
ProjectsAmendment of an exempt or non-
capacity increasing project• e.g., add/delete exempt or non-
regionally significant project or project phases to/from the FTIP.
• Public review period is 7 days
• Requires manager approval only
Type 4: Formal Amendment requiring a
conformity determination
These amendments require conformity determination but rely on a previous Regional Emissions Analysis
• Public review period is 7 days
• Public hearing is required
• Require Board approval
Type 5: Formal Amendment requiring a
conformity determination and new
Regional Emissions Analysis
• Public review period is 30 days
• Requires a public hearing
• Requires Board approval
Interagency Consultation
• Circulate preliminary draft
• Federal and state agencies
• Keep in touch with stakeholders
Implementing Change• Amend your PPP (following public
outreach requirements)• Decide on a spectrum of options
with varying public review• Delegate approval as much as
possible• Decide what works best for your
region• Take advantage of Grouped Project
Listings
Possible Conflicts with Streamlining the PPP
• Board won’t delegate power
• Agency’s TIP history
• Level of difficulty in amending the PPP
