For a federally funded P3, which act requires review of project impacts on properties listed in or eligible for the National Register?
Answer: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider effects on historic properties and to consult with SHPOs and other parties.
Which consultation is required if a federally funded P3 project may affect a federally listed threatened or endangered species?
Answer: Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation
ESA Section 7 requires federal agencies to consult with USFWS or NMFS to make sure their actions don't jeopardize listed species.
A P3 concessionaire's environmental commitments from the NEPA decision document are tracked in a project-specific list. What is this list commonly called?
Answer: Environmental commitments or mitigation tracking record
Mitigation commitments made in the ROD or FONSI are carried into the contract and tracked so the concessionaire complies.
Which payment mechanism feature discourages a concessionaire from hiding safety failures in self-reported performance data?
Answer: Higher deductions for unreported failures found through public sponsor audits
Extra penalties for failures that audits uncover but the concessionaire did not report encourage honest self-monitoring.
When new federal safety regulations take effect mid-concession and raise operating costs, how is this risk typically handled in a US P3 agreement?
Answer: Through change-in-law provisions that may compensate for discriminatory or specified changes
Change-in-law clauses usually give relief for discriminatory or project-specific changes, while general changes may remain with the concessionaire.
What is a key compliance concern when a P3 public sponsor receives a proposer's unsolicited proposal?
Answer: Making sure statutory requirements for public notice and competing proposals are followed
Many state P3 statutes require public notice and a chance for competing proposals so unsolicited proposals are procured fairly and transparently.
Which document typically sets out the safety, maintenance and operational performance requirements a P3 concessionaire must meet?
Answer: The technical provisions or output specifications
Technical provisions or output specifications define the performance and safety requirements, which the payment mechanism then enforces.
