New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules Tra-Ap - Appeals Board for the Department of Transportation
Here’s what I found on Tra‑Ap (Appeals Board for the Dept. of Transportation) in the New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules:
📘 Overview of Tra‑Ap
Title: N.H. Admin. Code Tra‑Ap
Scope: Governs practice and appeals procedures for the DOT Appeals Board.
Authority: The Board sets its own rulemaking authority—separate from the DOT Commissioner (law.cornell.edu).
Ch. 200 – Rules of Practice & Procedure: Contains Parts Tra‑Ap 201–209 (Purpose/Scope, Definitions, Appearances, Computation of Time, Filing, Prehearings, Pleadings/Motions, Commencement, Notice/Conduct) (law.cornell.edu).
⚠️ Expiration Alert
Ch. Tra‑Ap 200 is marked “EXPIRED”—including all parts 201–209 (regulations.justia.com).
Yet the version is current through Register No. 13 (March 27, 2025) (regulations.justia.com).
Means these rules were in effect but have since lapsed or been superseded; the state hasn’t published replacements yet (at least as of March 2025).
✅ What This Means for You
The Board’s rules used to operate under Tra‑Ap 200—covering everything from filing appeals to their conduct.
Since they’ve expired, current appeals may fall under:
Interim emergency rules or updated regulations (pending publication).
Other statutory or procedural frameworks, such as those in DOT internal policies or the New Hampshire Administrative Procedure Act.
To proceed with an appeal today, you’ll need to check:
NH DOT’s website for any posted updates or emergency rules (regulations.justia.com, dot.nh.gov).
New Hampshire Rulemaking Register or General Court for finalized replacements post-March 2025.
🧭 Next Steps
Visit the NHDOT Laws & Regulations page for updated rules and guidance (dot.nh.gov).
If no new regulations are posted, you may need:
To file an appeal under a current or interim rule, or
To request clarification from the Appeals Board or DOT directly on the current procedures.
