30、ration all official actions re-garding the designation, or revision, of the Federal-aid highway systems. (b) The routes of the Federal-aid highway systems shall be proposed by coordinated action of the State trans-portation agencies where the routes in-volve State-line connections. (c) The designati

31、on of routes on the Federal-aid highway systems shall be in accordance with the planning proc-ess required, pursuant to the provisions at 23 U.S.C. 135, and, in urbanized areas, the provisions at 23 U.S.C. 134(a).

40、p, document, or other record of the United States, or of any State or political subdivision thereof, shall refer to any highway under 23 U.S.C. 103(c), nor shall any such high-way be signed or marked, as a highway on the Interstate System until such time as such highway is constructed to the geometr

41、ic and construction stand-ards for the Interstate System and has been designated as a part of the Inter-state System. 62 FR 33355, June 19, 1997, as amended at 76 FR 6691, Feb. 8, 2011 470.113 National Highway System procedures.

46、470GUIDANCE CRITERIA FOR EVALU-ATING REQUESTS FOR INTERSTATE SYSTEM DESIGNATIONS UNDER 23 U.S.C. 103(c)(4)(A) AND (B) Section 103(c)(4)(A) and (B), of title 23, U.S.C., permits States to request the des-ignation of National Highway System routes as parts or future parts of the Interstate Sys-tem. Th

47、e FHWA Administrator may approve such a request if the route is a logical addi-tion or connection to the Interstate System and has been, or will be, constructed to meet Interstate standards. The following are the general criteria to be used to evaluate 23 U.S.C. 103(c) requests for Interstate System

48、 designations. 1. The proposed route should be of suffi-cient length to serve long-distance Inter-state travel, such as connecting routes be-tween principal metropolitan cities or indus-trial centers important to national defense and economic development. 2. The proposed route should not duplicate o

49、ther Interstate routes. It should serve Interstate traffic movement not provided by another Interstate route. 3. The proposed route should directly serve major highway traffic generators. The term major highway traffic generator means ei-ther an urbanized area with a population over 100,000 or a similar major concentrated land use activity that produces and attracts long-distance Interstate and statewide travel of persons and goods.
