The purpose of this subpart is to im-plement 23 U.S.C. 204, which requires the Secretary and the Secretary of each appropriate Federal land ma

25、nage-ment agency, to the extent appro-priate, to develop by rule safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion man-agement systems for roads funded under the FLHP. These management systems serve to guide the National Park Service (NPS) in developing transportation plans and making re-source allocation de

(a) The NPS shall deve

28、lop, establish and implement the management sys-tems as described in this subpart. The NPS may tailor all management sys-tems to meet the NPS goals, policies, and needs using professional engineer-ing and planning judgment to deter-mine the required nature and extent of systems coverage consistent w

29、ith the intent and requirements of this rule. The management systems also shall be developed so they assist in meeting the goals and measures that were jointly developed by the FHWA and the NPS in response to the Government Perform-ance and Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 10362, 107 Stat. 285). (b) The

30、 NPS and the FHWA shall de-velop an implementation plan for each of the management systems. These plans will include, but are not limited to, the following: Overall goals and policies concerning the management systems, each agencys responsibilities for developing and implementing the management syst

31、ems, implementation schedule, data sources, and cost esti-mate. The FHWA will provide the NPS ongoing technical engineering support for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the management systems. (c) The NPS shall develop and imple-ment procedures for the development, establishment,

32、implementation and op-eration of management systems. The procedures shall include: (1) A process for ensuring the outputs of the management systems are consid-ered in the development of NPS trans-portation plans and PRPTIPs and in making project selection decisions under 23 U.S.C. 204; (2) A process

33、 for the analysis and co-ordination of all management system outputs to systematically operate, maintain, and upgrade existing trans-portation assets cost-effectively; (3) A description of each management system; (4) A process to operate and maintain the management systems and their as-sociated data

34、bases; and (5) A process for data collection, processing, analysis and updating for each management system. (d) All management systems will use databases with a geographical ref-erence system that can be used to geolocate all database information. (e) Existing data sources may be used by the NPS to

35、the maximum extent possible to meet the management sys-tem requirements. (f) The NPS shall develop an appro-priate means to evaluate the effective-ness of the management systems in en-hancing transportation investment de-cision-making and improving the over-all efficiency of the affected transpor-ta

36、tion systems and facilities. This evaluation is to be conducted periodi-cally, preferably as part of the NPS planning process. (g) The management systems shall be operated so investment decisions based on management system outputs can be considered at the national, regional, and park levels. 970.206

37、 Funds for establishment, de-velopment, and implementation of the systems. The Park Roads and Parkways pro-gram funds may be used for develop-ment, establishment, and implementa-tion of the management systems. These funds are to be administered in accordance with the procedures and re-quirements app

In addition to the requirements pro-vided in 970.204, the PMS must meet the following requirements: (a) The NPS shall have PMS coverage of all paved park roads, parkways, parking areas and other associated fa-cilities, as

39、 appropriate, that are funded under the FLHP. (b) The PMS may be utilized at var-ious levels of technical complexity de-pending on the nature of the transpor-tation network.

41、ppropriate. (c) The PMS shall be designed to fit the NPS goals, policies, criteria, and needs using the following components, at a minimum, as a basic framework for a PMS: (1) A database and an ongoing pro-gram for the collection and mainte-nance of the inventory, inspection, cost, and supplemental

42、data needed to support the PMS. The minimum PMS database shall include: (i) An inventory of the physical pave-ment features including the number of lanes, length, width, surface type, func-tional classification, and shoulder in-formation; (ii) A history of project dates and types of construction, re

43、construction, rehabilitation, and preventive mainte-nance. If some of the inventory or his-toric data is difficult to establish, it may be collected when preservation or reconstruction work is performed; (iii) Condition data that includes roughness, distress, rutting, and sur-face friction (as appro

44、priate); (iv) Traffic information including volumes and vehicle classification (as appropriate); and (v) Data for estimating the costs of actions. (2) A system for applying network level analytical procedures that are ca-pable of analyzing data for all park roads, parkways and other appropriate asso

45、ciated facilities in the inventory or any subset. The minimum analyses shall include: (i) A pavement condition analysis that includes roughness, distress, rut-ting, and surface friction (as appro-priate); (ii) A pavement performance analysis that includes present and predicted performance and an est

46、imate of the re-maining service life (performance and remaining service life to be developed with time); and (iii) An investment analysis that: (A) Identifies alternative strategies to improve pavement conditions; (B) Estimates costs of any pavement improvement strategy; (C) Determines maintenance,

47、repair, and rehabilitation strategies for pave-ments using life-cycle cost analysis or a comparable procedure; (D) Provides for short and long term budget forecasting; and (E) Recommends optimal allocation of limited funds by developing a prioritized list of candidate projects over a predefined plan

48、ning horizon (both short and long term). (d) For any park roads, parkways and other appropriate associated facilities in the inventory or subset thereof, PMS reporting requirements shall in-clude, but are not limited to, percent-age of roads in good, fair, and poor con-dition. 69 FR 9473, Feb. 27, 2
