The proposed project will improve U.S. 127N/S.R. 28 between I–40 at Crossville and S.R. 62 at Clarkrange, a distance of approximately 14 miles. Improvements to the corridor are considered necessary to provide for existing and projected traffic demand, improve safety, and help achieve existing local and regional economic development goals. Alternatives under consideration include (1) Taking no action; (2) widening the existing two-lane highway to five lanes along the existing alignment; (3) widening the existing two-lane highway to five lanes at the project beginning and end and widening to four lanes between the two proposed five-lane sections; and (4) constructing a four-lane section on new location west of the existing highway from north of Tabor Loop to south of Clear Creek then rejoining the existing highway alignment and improving it to four lanes to just south of Clarkrange, where it would transition to a new five-lane section along the existing roadway. The alternatives development, screening process, Citizens’ Resource Team input, and current project public involvement process will be incorporated into the NEPA process. A Public Involvement Plan has been developed to include the public in the project development process. The plan proposes utilizing the following outreach efforts to provide information and solicit input: Newsletters, the Internet, e-mail, informal meetings, public information meetings and other efforts as necessary and appropriate. As part of the scoping process federal, state, and local agencies and officials; private organizations; citizens; and interest groups will have an opportunity to provide input into the development of the EIS and identify issues of concern. It is anticipated that one formal agency scoping meeting will be held. A public hearing will be held upon completion of the Draft EIS and public notice will be given of the time and place of the hearing. A toll-free information line and a Web site have already been put in place for the project.

We are required under the PRA to send information collection requests to OMB. This information collection is related to a study of the causation of commercial motor vehicle crashes mandated by the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999. The bus study will fulfill the bus portion of this mandate and aid in the determination of the reasons for, and factors contributing to, serious bus crashes.

Office hours are from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Bus Crash Causation Study. OMB Control Number: None. Background: No national database exists that contains information describing the causes of, the reasons for, and the factors contributing to bus crashes. The purpose of the Bus Crash Causation Study is to gather this information for serious bus crashes. With this data, FMCSA and the States will be able to more effectively implement countermeasures to reduce the occurrence and severity of these crashes. The study is required under section 224 of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law 106–159, 113 Stat. 1748 (December 9, 1999). Buses are defined as vehicles designed or used to transport 9 to 15 people (including the driver) for compensation, or more than 15 people for any purpose. The FMCSA will conduct a three-part bus crash causation study beginning in 2004. The three parts of the study are as follows: (1) Mining current databases, such as the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), Buses Involved in Fatal Accidents (BIFA) and Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) for causation factors; (2) evaluating insurance companies data to assess the quality, quantity and usefulness of bus crash causation data; and (3) collecting extensive data on a sample of crashes in the field. FMCSA field staff, FMCSA contractors and New Jersey State Police (NJSP) will collect more than 400 pieces of data on 50–100 crashes involving commercial buses in E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1
