	97-3240 -- Ross v. Federal Highway Administration -- 11/17/1998
		FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION; DAVID GEIGER, in his official capacity as Division Adminstrator, Federal Highway Administration;MARK BUHLER, TOM TAUL, DEAN NIEDER, in their official capacities as County Commissioners of Douglas County, Kansas; and E. CARLSON, in his official capacity as Kansas Secretary of Transportation.
		The federal nature of the trafficway was so pervasive that the Kansas authorities could not rid the project of federal involvement simply by withdrawing the last segment of the project from federal funding.
		In other words, once the federal government is pervasively involved in every stage of a federal-aid highway project, § 145 does not allow states to withdraw a portion of the project from federal funding consideration with the resulting effect of avoiding compliance with federal environmental laws.

		For highway traffic noise, an adjustment, or weighting, of the high- and low-pitched sounds is made to approximate the way that an average person hears sounds.
		Highway noise is being attacked with a three-part strategy: motor vehicle control, land use control, and highway planning and design.
		Federal funds may be used for the construction of noise barriers, for acquisition of land on which to build such barriers, and for the purchase of undeveloped lands as a preemptive buffer zone.
