Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 78 / Tuesday, April 25, 2017 / Notices current description of the S1100 classification: Primary roads are generally divided, limited-access highways within the Interstate Highway System or under state management, and are distinguished by the presence of interchanges. These highways are accessible by ramps and may include some toll highways. To clarify that limited-access highways are primary roads we have revised the description of primary roads. The current description says primary roads are generally divided, limited-access highways, while the proposed description says they are limited-access highways, divided or not. The proposed description of the S1100 classification is: Primary roads are limited-access highways that connect to other roads only at interchanges and not at at-grade intersections. This category includes interstate highways, as well as all other highways with limited access (some of which are toll roads). Limited-access highways with only one lane in each direction, as well as those that are undivided, are also included under S1100. The following is the current description of the S1200 classification: Secondary roads are main arteries, usually in the U.S. highway, state highway, or county highway systems. These roads have one or more lanes of traffic in each direction, may or may not be divided, and usually have atgrade intersections with many other roads and driveways. They often have both a local name and a route number. The proposed description makes clear that secondary roads are not limitedaccess highways. The proposed description is: asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Secondary roads are main arteries that are not limited access, usually in the U.S. highway, state highway, or county highway systems. These roads have one or more lanes of traffic in each direction, may or may not be divided, and usually have at-grade intersections with many other roads and driveways. They often have both a local name and a route number. Generally, only interstate highways are currently in the S1100 classification. The impetus for this change was from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geospatial Technical Operations Center (GTOC). USGS and the Census Bureau have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for coordination and cooperation pertaining to the exchange and use of TIGER roads in The National Map. The Census Bureau delivers roads to USGS for use in The National Map and US Topo topographic maps and they provide feedback on the data. USGS proposed this change so that all limited-access highways would be classified and displayed as primary VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Apr 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 roads in their products. Both USGS GTOC and Census Geography Division agree that clarification of the definitions for S1100 and S1200 will require minimal changes to TIGER roads that are currently classified as S1200s. Since this reclassification to S1100 roads provides consistency and is in line with the current MTFCC descriptions, the Census Bureau is prepared to initiate this change, pending comments from users. C. Request for Comment We would like to hear from the TIGER user community about the potential impacts of this change. Please respond to any or all of the following questions: 1. Will this change have a positive or negative impact on your use of TIGER products? 2. How will this change impact the cartographic display of roads in TIGER products that you use? 3. Please describe your use of TIGER roads products and your familiarity and use of limited-access highway features. Date: April 19, 2017. John H. Thompson, Director, Bureau of the Census.
