When is a public hearing required?

The Tribe, or BIA or FHWA after consultation with the appropriate Tribe and other involved agencies, determines whether or not a public hearing is needed for a TTPTIP, a LRTP, or a project. A public hearing must be held if a project: (a) Is for the construction of a new route or facility; (b) Would significantly change the layout or function of connecting or related roads or streets; (c) Would cause a substantial adverse effect on adjacent property; or (d) Is controversial or expected to be controversial in nature.
