• Resolution of Concerns. Incoordination with the local TXDOT district office, TRF contacts the political subdivision proposing the route to resolve any concerns or issues about the proposed route designation and subsequent proposal expressed at the public hearing or received as written comments. 6. Coordination with other States and Indian Tribes. At least 60 days prior to establishing the NRMH routing designation, TRF will provide written notice to the officials responsible for NRMH highway routing in all other affected states or Indian tribes. If no response is received within 60 days from the date of receipt of the notification of the proposed routing designation, the routing designation will be considered approved by the affected states or Indian tribes. TRF will attempt to resolve any concerns or disagreements related to the proposed routing designation expressed by any consulted states or Indian tribes. If these concerns or disagreements are not resolved, TXDOT will petition the FHWA for resolution of the dispute in accordance with 49 CFR Section 397.75. Authorization and Approval. If TXDOT determines that route designation has met all criteria for approval, TRF will submit the proposed NRHM routing designation to the TXDOT executive director for approval. Upon approval by the TXDOT executive director, TRF will notify the political subdivision in writing that the proposed routing designation is authorized and will issue appropriate notice to the FHWA and the Texas DPS. 7. Route Designation and Signing: • Designation. Upon receipt of a letter of approval from TXDOT, the political subdivision must designate the NRHM route by ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, or other official order. The political subdivision must forward a copy of the order to TRF within 30 days of receipt of the letter of approval. • Signing. After passage of the order, the political subdivision must submit the proposed sign and installation locations of the NRHM route designation to the local TxDOT district office for approval. All signs must conform to the latest version of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The local TXDOT district office should submit the proposed signing schematic to TRF for review. The political subdivision must coordinate sign installations with the localTXDOT district office prior to placement.
