Rule/Notice/NOFO: Suspending Approval of State Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Programs
Federal Register/Notice: dot.gov
Type of Requirement: USDOT FHWA Memorandum
Description: This Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has decided to review the policies underlying the implementation of the NEVI Formula Program. The current NEVI Formula Program Guidance dated June 11, 2024, and all prior versions of this guidance are rescinded. The FHWA is updating the NEVI Formula Program Guidance. The FHWA aims to have an updated draft NEVI Formula Guidance published for public comment in the spring. After the public comment period has closed, FHWA will publish updated final NEVI Formula Guidance that responds to the comments received. As result of the rescission of the NEVI Formula Program Guidance, FHWA is also immediately suspending the approval of all State Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment plans for all fiscal years. Effective immediately, no new obligations may occur under the NEVI Formula Program until the updated final NEVI Formula Program Guidance is issued and new State plans are submitted and approved. Instructions for the submission of new State plans for all fiscal years will be included in the updated final NEVI Formula Program Guidance. Since FHWA is suspending the existing State plans, States will be held harmless for not implementing their existing plans. Until new guidance is issued, reimbursement of existing obligations will be allowed to not disrupt current financial commitments.
