ARC Development Act of 2024
HR 8170, the ARC Development Act of 2024, modifies a federal highway mileage rule to provide flexibility for Appalachian development projects. It allows the Appalachian Regional Commission to approve waivers exempting projects from mileage limits if their approved route exceeds the standard limit, as determined by environmental review processes. Any approved excess mileage counts toward the total eligible mileage under the program. This directly affects participating Appalachian states and their highway development projects seeking federal assistance under the Appalachian Regional Commission's program.
