  • Why Does the ProjectPATH Posting Comment Period Equal Zero Days?!

    May 16, 2012

    You may be asking yourself: what does it mean when the Comment Period (Days) equals zero?

The 74-22 vote stepped up pressure for quick action by House because the government’s power to collect about $110 million a day in federal gasoline and diesel taxes, the main source of revenue for highway and transit programs, is set to expire March 31. If a final bill isn’t on the president’s desk by then, Congress would have to approve a temporary extension to avoid a shutdown of the programs, including the furlough of Federal Highway Administration employees and the layoff of construction workers.
