The Public Roads Administration is responsible for carrying into effect the Federal-Aid Road Act of 1916 as amended and supplemented. This act provides for cooperation between the Federal government and the various States, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii and Puerto Rico in the administration and construction of the Federal-aid highway system. The initiative in improving the highway system is taken by the States under their various laws; and construction contracts are awarded and work is supervised by the States, subject to approval of the Public Roads Administration. All States through their highway departments are advised of and are familiar with rules and regulations promulgated for their guidance. These have been published from time to time in the Federal Register. All such Federal-aid highway work is subject to the various State and Territorial laws applicable in the area where the work is performed. Titles to all lands and interests in lands used for Federal-aid highway purposes, and all paving, structures, and appurtenant highway facilities on such land vest in the States, and official records in connection therewith are maintained by the States. In case of forest, park, and other highway work in Federally controlled areas, titles to land and highway improvements are held for the government by the agency controlling the area, generally the Forest Service or the Park Service. If litigation with individuals is involved it is pursued in the local courts having jurisdiction in the area, and is not settled by administrative determination of the Public Roads Administration. The Public Roads Administration does not exercise, through administrative procedure, executive, legislative, or quasijudicial functions which affect individual members of the public. Substantive rules are not adopted and interpretations are not formulated by the Public Roads Administration for the guidance of the public. Highways within the National Forests, and within and leading to National Parks, and National Parkways, and in some cases other highways, are constructed by the Public Roads Administration under inter-agency agreements with the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior, and other government departments. Cooperation with the Central American Republics in the construction of the Inter-American Highway is achieved through liaison with the State Department. Final authority for the approval of highway systems and programs is retained by the Commissioner in Washington. Authority to approve plans and concur in contracts covering construction of programmed projects is delegated to Division Engineers. § 51.11 Central office organization.
