Although scoping is an early formal interface with FTA regarding NEPA compliance, coordination with FTA began during the Alternatives Analysis (AA) to ensure that FTA is in agreement and approves of the methodologies being used, the data that was collected, the evaluation and assessment analysis, and the process for the selection of the locally preferred alternative (LPA). URS will advise Triangle Transit on the effects of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) on the NEPA process. Revisions to rules and procedures will likely be refined by FTA during the course of the project. Thus, the URS team will advise Triangle Transit on forthcoming new rules and processes. Close coordination with FTA will also be required for the signing of the DEIS and selection of a preferred alternative. Triangle Transit and URS will collaborate on a strategy for FTA involvement and the URS team will be prepared to participate in and provide materials for FTA quarterly meetings as directed by Triangle Transit. Deliverable: Meeting materials and minutes 2�2 FUIS IMarmgeuryieint and Coordination 211 FH,S Technical Studies and IDocuuneintation The URS team will provide management and oversight of the Final EIS (FEIS) phase of project development including additional technical studies and documents required from comments on the DEIS, preparation of errata sheets for the FEIS, as well as public involvement activities. This effort also includes coordination of internal project team environmental and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance efforts through regular meetings as well as telephone and electronic communication. It covers quality control of environmental technical reports and NEPA documents, as well as coordination with other project disciplines such as project/program management, document control, engineering, station planning and design, New Starts application updates, and transit operations planning. Coordination elements include preparation, attendance, and documentation of meetings and electronic and oral communication related to completion of the FEIS. Deliverable: Meeting agendas and documentation 2.21 Coordination with Regulatory Agencies Coordination with regulatory agencies during the FEIS phase will be consistent with the procedures established during the DEIS phase with continued regular federal and state interagency meetings being held to coincide with EIS milestones such as selection of the preferred alternative, review of public comments, and mitigation commitments. The purpose of these meetings is to keep the resource and regulatory agencies informed about the project, and to receive input from them regarding existing (Durhanru Orarige Light IRalilll Transit IRroject � June 2013 12-2 II)IRAFT
