INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT Sample Clauses

INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT. In 2001, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) published a report entitled 'Modernising Defence Training'. The report highlighted that: • Future Defence Training needed to be more integrated; • Training needed to be managed on a Defence-wide basis to better support the increasing move towards joint deployments; and • That the training estate needed investment and rationalisation to ensure that the MoD facilities were used efficiently and were fit for purpose. These recommendations are at the heart of the Defence Training Review (DTR) Rationalisation Programme, which is a large and complex project seeking to transform the way that specialist technical training in the future is delivered. On 17th January, 2007, the Secretary of State for Defence announced that the Metrix consortium had been selected as preferred bidder for delivering ‘Package 1’ Training at a new Defence Technical College (DTC) at St. Athan, comprising specialist training for Aeronautical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Engineering and Communications & Information Systems. The purpose of the DTC is to provide a rationalised technical training programme that would deliver modern, cost effective training regimes, both indoors and outdoors, to front line commands of all areas of the UK’s armed forces. As such, it was established that a modern, purpose-built estate was necessary to replace existing more limited and specialised facilities around the UK and to meet the above objectives. It also gives the opportunity to create a new training estate which is far more efficient and sustainable than much of the existing estate. In order to meet the requirements of the DTR Rationalisation Programme, a comprehensive site is required that provides, in addition to the operational training and learning facilities, all of the necessary associated developments including living accommodation, medical, sports and recreational, community facilities, places of worship, an energy centre and other associated facilities. Subsequently, on 12th May 2009, the current outline planning application for the Defence Technical College and its associated developments was submitted to the Council, alongside a separate outline application submitted by the Welsh Ministers for an Aerospace Business Park (ABP) on adjoining land (ref: 2009/00501/OUT). The ABP is being developed around the existing operational runway at St Athan as an aerospace centre of excellence for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft. The proposals for the...

  • BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The Federal-aid Highway Program (FAHP) is a federally-assisted program of State-selected projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the State Departments of Transportation have long worked as partners to deliver the FAHP in accordance with Federal requirements. In enacting 23 U.S.C. 106(c), as amended, Congress recognized the need to give the States more authority to carry out project responsibilities traditionally handled by FHWA. Congress also recognized the importance of a risk-based approach to FHWA oversight of the FAHP, establishing requirements in 23 U.S.C. 106(g). This Stewardship and Oversight (S&O) Agreement sets forth the agreement between the FHWA and the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and the State DOT with respect to Title 23 project approvals and related responsibilities, and FAHP oversight activities. The scope of FHWA responsibilities, and the legal authority for State DOT assumption of FHWA responsibilities, developed over time. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation delegated responsibility to the Administrator of the FHWA for the FAHP under Title 23 of the United States Code, and associated laws. (49 CFR 1.84 and 1.85) The following legislation further outlines FHWA’s responsibilities: • Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991; • Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998; • Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005; and • Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) of 2012 (P.L. 112-141). The FHWA may not assign or delegate its decision-making authority to a State Department of Transportation unless authorized by law. Xxxxxxx 000 xx Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Section 106), authorizes the State to assume specific project approvals. For projects that receive funding under Title 23, U.S.C., and are on the National Highway System (NHS) including projects on the Interstate System, the State may assume the responsibilities of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation under Title 23 for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections with respect to the projects unless the Secretary determines that the assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(1)) For projects under Title 23, U.S.C. that are not on the NHS, the State shall assume the responsibilities for design, plans, specifications, estimates, contract awards, and inspections unless the State determines that such assumption is not appropriate. (23 U.S.C. 106(c)(2)) For all other project activities which do not fall within the specific project approvals listed in Section 106 or are not otherwise authorized by law, the FHWA may authorize a State DOT to perform work needed to reach the FHWA decision point, or to implement FHWA’s decision. However such decisions themselves are reserved to FHWA. The authority given to the State DOT under Section 106(c)(1) and (2) is limited to specific project approvals listed herein. Nothing listed herein is intended to include assumption of FHWA’s decision-making authority regarding Title 23, U.S.C. eligibility or Federal-aid participation determinations. The FHWA always must make the final eligibility and participation decisions for the Federal-aid Highway Program. Section 106(c)(3) requires FHWA and the State DOT to enter into an agreement relating to the extent to which the State DOT assumes project responsibilities. This Stewardship and Oversight Agreement (S&O Agreement), includes information on specific project approvals and related responsibilities, and provides the requirements for FHWA oversight of the FAHP (Oversight Program), as required by 23 U.S.C. 106(g).
