Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2005 / Notices
(DelDOT), will prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to consider additional north-south
capacity either as a new facility on new
alignment or widened existing facility,
west of Coastal Highway (SR 1). The
project study limits are generally bound
by Old Landing Road (CR 274) to the
south, Red Mill Pond at SR 1 to the
north, SR 1 to the east and Love Creek
to the west. Access limitations will be
considered during the course of the
study. Because of the potential for a new
alignment alternative, access restrictions
and the resulting potential for
significant impacts on the human and
natural environment, the FHWA has
determined that an EIS is the
appropriate documentation for any
corridor changes that may be selected.
The study of transportation changes
in eastern Sussex County was
introduced in the DelDOT sponsored
State Route 1 Grid Study, 1999. As part
of the Phase I recommendations, a
network of secondary road connections
was proposed. As part of the State Route
1 Grid Study, Phase II, a
recommendation to create a new
roadway connection between SR 1 west
of Five Points, south to Route 9 was
made. The new roadway connection
was proposed to meet one of the new
secondary road connections of the Phase
I study, creating a new roadway corridor
west of Plantation Road from Route 1
north of Five Points to south of Old
Landing Road.
Subsequent to the SR 1 Grid Study,
DelDOT and Sussex County jointly
conducted the SR 1 Land Use &
Transportation Study (LUTS), August
2003. The stated objective of this study
was ‘‘* * * to effectively address joint
interests in the transportation systems
and land use for the Rehoboth/Lewes
area.’’ The SR 1 LUTS overall objectives
were to increase the mobility of area
residents by developing alternative
roadway links and connections; provide
a variety of ways to travel; reduce
congestion; improve safety, maintain the
character of the study area, and gain
public acceptance of the study
recommendations. The centerpiece
long-term recommendation of the SR 1
LUTS was a new controlled access
parkway west of Route 1 that would run
from northwest of Five Points to
Country Club Road (CR 273).
A program of public involvement and
coordination with Federal, State, and
local agencies has been initiated. Both
agency and public involvement will
continue throughout project
development. Comments are being
solicited from appropriate Federal,
State, and local agencies, and to private
organizations and citizens who have

Jkt 205001
previously expressed or are known to
have interest in this proposal. Public
scoping meetings will be held.
Additional informational meetings will
be scheduled during the course of the
study. In addition, a formal public
hearing will be held after the draft EIS
has been prepared. Public notice will be
given of the time and place of the
scoping meetings, and the formal public
hearing. The draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearing on
the draft EIS.
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 or questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA or DelDOT at the
addresses provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law No. 104–13, section
2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as
revised at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)

E:\FR\FM\06JYN1.SGM
06JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2005 / Notices
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information

submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
currently approved ICRs that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) and the San
Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District (BART) intend to prepare a joint
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) and Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) for proposed transit service to
eastern Contra Costa County. The
project would extend service from the

Pittsburg/BayPoint, through the
communities of Pittsburg, Antioch,
Brentwood, and Oakley, to a new
terminus in Byron. The corridor
generally follows State Route 4 through
the eastern part of the county. As an
extension of BART service into Eastern
Contra Costa County, the project,
commonly referred to as ‘‘eBART,’’ is
intended to improve travel in the
increasingly congested State Route 4
corridor by providing direct coordinated
connections to the BART system. An
earlier planning and feasibility study
completed in 2002 evaluated a wide
range of alternatives and recommended
an innovative transit service concept,
which employs light-weight, selfpropelled rail cars known as Diesel
Multiple Units (DMUs) on right-of-way
to be acquired from the Union Pacific
Railroad. Service with DMUs is
intended to provide a seamless
connection to the existing BART service
but at a much lower cost.
