Regulation text will be updated to reflect renamed Part II designation categories starting January 2027

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

A future amendment to this transit and rail project assessment regulation will replace every reference to '(Part II.3 Projects — Designations and Exemptions)' with '(Designation of Part II.3 and Part II.4 Projects)' throughout the regulation. This is a terminology update that aligns the regulation's language with broader changes to the Environmental Assessment Act's project designation framework. The change adds Part II.4 projects to the designation category label, indicating that a new category of projects will fall under the designation process. Organizations involved in transit or rail projects subject to environmental assessment should be aware that references to the designation and exemption provisions will carry updated labels in the consolidated regulation text going forward.
