DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Impact Statement: St.
Clair County, MI
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for proposed
improvements to the United States Port
of Entry plaza for the Blue Water Bridge
in St. Clair County, Michigan.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
James Kirschensteiner, Assistant
Division Administrator, Federal
Highway Administration, 315 W.
Allegan Street, Room 201, Lansing,
Michigan 48933, telephone: (517) 702–
1835.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA in cooperation with the
Michigan Department of Transportation
(MDOT) is preparing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate
alternatives for potential improvements
to the United States Border Plaza at the
Blue Water Bridge. Invitations are being
sent to other Federal agencies to become
cooperating agencies in the
development of the environmental
impact statement for he subject project.
The Blue Water Bridge is a major
passenger and commercial border
crossing between the United States and
Canada and is the termination point for
I–94/I–69 in the United States and for
Highway 402 in Canada. MDOT owns
and operates the Blue Water Bridge in
conjunction with the Canadian Blue
Water Bridge Authority (BWBA). MDOT
also owns and operates the Blue Water
Bridge Border Plaza. Several agencies of
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) operate on the United States
Plaza. These agencies are responsible for
inspecting vehicles, goods, and people
entering the United States and include:
the Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), the United States
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
Department of Agriculture (USDA), and
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). The inspection agencies lease
facilities on the United States Plaza
from MDOT through the General
Services Administration (GSA), which
serves as the Federal-leasing agent.
MDOT collects tolls from vehicles
departing the United States for Canada
on the plaza.
The study area is located within the
City of Port Huron and Port Huron
Township. The study area consists of
approximately 30 blocks (195 acres) of
urban land use surrounding the existing
plaza and ramps, and its extends to the
west along I–94/I–69 for approximately
2.2 miles. The study areas includes the
existing plaza, the Black River Bridge,
the Water Street interchange, and
locations for off-site inspection
facilities, located north of I–94/I–69 and
west of the Water Street interchange.
In September 2002, this project
started as an Environmental Assessment
(EA) and has proceeded through the
scoping phase, Purpose and Need
documentation, and alternatives
development. Two resource agency
meetings and three public information
meetings were held during this time. As
a result of identified potentially
significant impacts, FHWA and MDOT
have concluded that an Environmental
Impact Statement should be completed.
A range of plaza and transportation
improvement alternatives will be
analyzed within the recommended
study area. Reasonable alternatives
under consideration include: (1) Taking
no-action, (2) expanding the existing
plaza location in the City of Port Huron,
and (3) Relocating the major plaza
functions to off-site plaza location in
Port Huron township.
Agencies and citizen involvement
will continue to be solicited throughout
this process. A public meeting and a
public hearing will be held on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
Public notice will be given of the time
and place of the hearing. The DEIS will
be available for public and agency
review and comment prior to the public
hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments of questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice
announces that the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below has been forwarded to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes
the nature of the information collections
and their expected burden. The Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period was published on August, 11,
2004, Volume 69, Number 154, page
numbers 48906 and 48907.
This document describes two
collections of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before February 28, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Administration
Title: Voluntary Child Safety Seat
Registration Form.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0576.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
Existing Collection of Information.
Abstract: Chapter 301 of Title 49 of
the United States provides that if either
NHTSA or a manufacturer determines
that motor vehicles or items of motor
vehicle equipment contain a defect that
relates to motor vehicle safety or fail to
comply with an applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, the
manufacturer must notify owners and
purchasers of the defect or
noncompliance and must provide a
E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM
27JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 17 / Thursday, January 27, 2005 / Notices
remedy without charge. Pursuant to 49
CFR Part 577, defect and
noncompliance notification for
equipment items, including child
restraint systems (CRS), must be sent by
first class mail to the most recent
purchaser known to the manufacturer.
To increase the likelihood that CRS
manufacturers will be aware of the
identity of purchasers, NHTSA adopted
S5.8 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 213, to require
manufacturers to include a postage-paid
form with each CRS so the purchaser
can register with the manufacturer. In
addition to the registration form
supplied by the manufacturer, NHTSA
has implemented a CRS registration
system to assist those individuals who
have either lost the registration form
that came with the CRS or purchased a
previously owned CRS. In the absence
of a registration system, many owners of
child passenger safety seats would not
be notified of safety defects and
noncompliance issues, and would not
have the defects and noncompliance
issues remedied, because the
manufacturer would not be aware of
their identities.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 567
hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30
days, to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725–17th
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

evaluate.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA
began to evaluate the effectiveness of its
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) in 1975. By October 2004,
NHTSA had evaluated the effectiveness
of virtually all the life-saving
technologies introduced in passenger
cars or in light trucks (including pickup
trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans)
from about 1960 up through the later
1990’s. A statistical model estimates the
number of lives saved from 1960 to 2002
by the combination of these life-saving
technologies. Fatality Analysis
Reporting System (FARS) data for 1975–
2002 document the actual crash
fatalities in vehicles that, especially in
recent years, include many safety
technologies. Using NHTSA’s published
effectiveness estimates, the model
estimates how many people would have
died if the vehicles had not been
equipped with any of the safety
technologies. In addition to equipment
meeting specific FMVSS, the model
tallies lives saved by installations in
advance of the FMVSS, back to 1960,
and by non-compulsory improvements,
such as the redesign of mid and lower
instrument panels. FARS data have been
available since 1975, but an extension of
the model allows estimates of lives
saved in 1960–1974.
Vehicle safety technologies saved an
estimated 328,551 lives from 1960
through 2002. The annual number of
lives saved grew quite steadily from 115
in 1960, when a small number of people
used lap belts, to 24,561 in 2002, when
most cars and light trucks were
equipped with numerous modern safety
technologies and belt use on the road
achieved 75 percent.
NHTSA likewise began to evaluate the
cost of the FMVSS in 1975. Detailed
