TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web-Only Document 183: Guidance for Managing NEPA-Related and Other Risks in Project Delivery, Volume 2: Expediting NEPA Decisions and Other Practitioner Strategies for Addressing High Risk Issues in Project Delivery is designed to help in the management of the legal risks in the environmental review process for transportation projects, particularly highway projects, as part of a comprehensive approach to project risk management.

For the purposes of this report, the term “legal risk” includes any risks related to legal requirements, including permitting delays as well as litigation-related delays.

The guidance focuses on early identification and assessment of legal risks, and on methods for managing legal risks. A supplemental 12-page pull-out guide accompanies the report.

Guidance for Managing NEPA-Related and Other Risks in Project Delivery, Volume 1: Guide for Managing NEPA-Related and Other Risks in Project Delivery is a guide on the use of risk management as a means to help support the early identification of key issues during the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process; the effective application of management action and other resources to avoid or mitigate schedule delays, cost escalation, and quality problems; and sound decision making in project planning, programming, and development.
