While the Nation's roads are owned, operated, and maintained primarily by State and local governments, a substantial source of funding for highway construction is the Federal highway program. Federal highway funding can take one of two forms-grant funding or credit assistance. With Federal funding comes Federal requirements that apply to any project utilizing Federal dollars. Appendix H focuses on the grants provided to States for highway construction and the requirements that accompany those funds. Additionally, Appendix H discusses Federal procurement requirements and contract administration, the FHWA design-build regulation, and the Freedom of Information Act.
