EI NOTES:
1) An Engineering Instruction (EI) is a specialized engineering related Official Issuance, with an indefinite life, used for:
a) The timely issuance of new or revised standard or special specifications, direction, guidance, or explanation of policy or procedure with multiregion application for an interim time until the material is incorporated into
an Independent Official Issuance specifically authorized as part of the Department's Official Issuance System (e.g., Highway Design Manual, Standard Specifications, Manual of Uniform Record Keeping, etc.).

b) In rare instances, the issuance of direction, guidance, or explanation of policy or procedure that will not be incorporated elsewhere.
2) An EI Issuance and its Content does not automatically expire, and remains "ACTIVE" until its status can be officially changed to "INACTIVE".
3) The status of an EI Issuance, and its content, can only be officially changed to "INACTIVE" after one or more of the following has occurred:
a) the content of an EI Issuance has been incorporated into a NYSDOT Official Issuance.
b) an EI Issuance is officially Superseded in its entirety by one or more EIs collectively.
c) an EI Issuance is officially Rescinded (made defunct) by a NYSDOT EB.
4) An EI Issuance may supersede all or part of a previous EI Issuance. If an EI is only partially superseded by one or more EIs, all involved EI Issuances collectively remain effective and "ACTIVE".
5) Unless officially rescinded by a NYSDOT EB; an EI Issuance and its content, that modifies a NYSDOT Official Issuance of any type, is to be considered an official part of that existing document; and is to be incorporated
into
6) EIthe next official
Issuance Statusrevision of that document.
