The New Jersey Department of Transportation has recently proposed for readoption with amendments N.J.A.C. 16:6, which applies to relocation assistance involving the acquisition of real property or the displacement of persons, including displacements caused by rehabilitation and demolition activities. The chapter complies with the provisions of the Uniform Transportation Replacement Housing and Relocation Act as amended and P.L. 1989, c.50, and the Federal Highway Administration requirements for implementing the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended.

The proposed rule appears in the July 6, 2004 issue of the New Jersey Register. The public has until September 4, 2004 to comment on the proposal. Persons wishing to comment on the proposal must provide their comments in writing to Miriam Crum, Administrative Practice Officer, NJ Department of Transportation, 1035 Parkway Avenue, PO Box 600, Trenton, NJ 08625-0600.
