FHWA Approval Actions
The FHWA Division Administrator is delegated authority and responsibility for all approvals to
implement the project, except for approval of system to system modifications of Interstate access
and the approval of type, size and location for unusual and unique structures. While the Division
Administrator approves the Financial Plan and accepts the Project Management Plan, prior
concurrence is required from FHWA Headquarters Innovative Program Delivery Office’s Project
Delivery Team.
When FHWA deems a project a Federal Major Project, FHWA has additional approval actions that
supplement those required for regular FHWA‐oversight projects. These additional actions include
approving the Financial Plan, Project Management Plan, annual updates to the Financial Plan and
Project Management Plan, all consultant design, construction and program management
contracts, and any subsequesnt contract amendments. FHWA approval actions are found in the
Stewardship/Oversight Agreement between the FHWA Division Office and WisDOT (FDM
procedure 5‐5‐15).
