**AGENCY:**
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
**ACTION:**
Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking.
**SUMMARY:**
This document corrects a typographical error in the FHWA's notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published on October 19, 2001, at 66 FR 53288. The NPRM proposes the implementation of regulations for design-build contracting as mandated by section 1307(c) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The docket number that appeared in the heading of the NPRM was incorrect. This notice provides the correct docket number regarding the design-build contracting NPRM as FHWA-2000-7799.

Written comments to the NPRM must be received on or before December 18, 2001. Late comments will be considered to the extent practicable.

**Background**
On October 19, 2001, at 66 FR 53288, the FHWA issued a NPRM regarding the implementation of regulations for design-build contracting as mandated by section 1307(c) of the TEA-21. The heading of this NPRM inadvertently referenced an incorrect docket number, FHWA-2000-7790 (this docket number references a final rule published by the Coast Guard). The purpose of this notice is to correct the docket number for the design-build contracting NPRM. The correct docket number for the design-build contracting NPRM is FHWA-2000-7799. All written comments submitted to the docket in response to the October 19, 2001, NPRM should reference the correct docket number, FHWA-2000-7799.
