After the work has been completed, the District Engineer or his/her authorized designee will make an on-site inspection and if the work has been completed in accordance with the permit, one print of the approved application will be signed on the line provided for installation inspection and filed in the District. If the installation is not in accordance with the permit, the District Engineer will advise the applicant, in writing, of such nonconformance and that additional work must be performed before the work under the approved permit will be accepted.
All applications on the Interstate Highway System and other Fully Controlled Access Highways will be forwarded by the District Office to the State Maintenance Engineer with appropriate recommendation and all such applications that comply with the Commission's regulations may be approved by him after any necessary approval by the Federal Highway Administration is obtained.

All applications not in compliance with the Commission's regulations regardless of the type of highway involved will be given special attention by the District Engineer in order that the application may be changed to comply with all regulations. If such change cannot be effected, the application will be forwarded to the State Maintenance Engineer with full explanation, including valid reasons, if any, why the application cannot be brought into compliance. It may then be referred through channels for consideration as a special circumstance. If authorized, the State Maintenance Engineer will approve the application. The original copy of the approved application will be forwarded to the District Office for distribution to the applicant, filing and installation inspection as described in SECTION 400.1 above.
The approval of all applications which unduly interfere with highway traffic and all applications to open cut the surface of the roadway must be approved by the State Maintenance Engineer.
