advise the public that an Environmental
Impact Statement will be prepared for a
State Route 601 Highway Study in the
above referenced counties in
Mississippi.

Cecil Vick, Realty Officer/
Environmental Coordinator, Federal
Highway Administration, 666 North
Street, Suite 105, Jackson, MS 39202–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Mississippi Department of

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for an approximate 25-mile alignment of
State Route 601, which will be built to
Interstate standards through the extreme
southern portion of Mississippi, moving
in a generally north-south alignment.
This alignment will have logical termini

The purpose of the project is to take
traffic off of the heavily traveled U.S.
Highway 49 and also to link with the
proposed Canal Road Connector from
U.S. Highway 90 in Gulfport to
Interstate 10. This new alignment will
be especially beneficial for large trucks
utilizing the State port in Gulfport and
traveling north as they avoid the
congested U.S. Highway 49. The
highway is a proposed full control of
access facility and appropriate
interchanges will be studied at various
locations. Alternatives under
consideration include (1) taking no
action and (2) build alternatives.
The FHWA and MDOT are seeking
input as a part of the scoping process to
assist in determining and clarifying
issues relative to this project. Letters
describing the proposed action and
soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate federal, state, and local
agencies, Native American tribes,
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have interest in this proposal. A
formal scoping meeting with federal,
state, and local agencies, and other
interested parties will be held in the
near future as well as several public
involvement meetings held throughout
the EIS process. The draft EIS will be
available for public and agency review
and comment prior to the official 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 or questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above.

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration
[Docket No. PHMSA–2005–20104 (Notice
No. 05–06)]
Safety Advisory: Manufacture,
Marking, and Sale of Substandard
Compressed Gas Cylinders
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), DOT.
ACTION: Safety advisory notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This is to notify the public
that PHMSA and the Office of the
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
47273
Inspector General (OIG) are
investigating the manufacture, marking,
and sale of high pressure DOT
exemption cylinders made and/or
distributed by Global Composites
International, Inc. (GCI), Ontario, CA.
PHMSA and the OIG have evidence that
suggests GCI manufactured, marked,
certified, and sold an undetermined
number of high-pressure DOT
exemption carbon fiber filament
cylinders when the cylinders had not
been manufactured in accordance with
the Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR), DOT–E 12695, and the design
qualification standards incorporated
into the exemption. The evidence
suggests that some of these cylinders
were not wrapped with a sufficient
number of carbon fiber layers to insure
their structural integrity. In addition,
the evidence suggests that many of these
cylinders did not undergo the complete
series of safety tests and inspections
required by the HMR and may not
possess the structural integrity to safely
contain its contents under pressure
during normal transportation and use.
Extensive property damage, serious
personal injury, or death could result
from rupture of a cylinder.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Raymond L. LaMagdelaine, Chief
Special Investigations, Office of
Hazardous Materials Enforcement,
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 400 7th Street SW.,
Room 7104, Washington DC, 20590.
Telephone: (202) 366–4700.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Through
its investigation, PHMSA and the OIG
believe that GCI manufactured, marked,
certified and sold an undetermined
number of high-pressure carbon fiber
wrapped cylinders owned by
commercial entities and the private
consumer. Among others, we believe
many of these may be in use by paint
ball enthusiasts. DOT recommends that
any person possessing a cylinder
manufactured by Global Composites
International, Inc. (GCI) and marked
with exemption number DOT–E 12695
take the cylinder to a qualified refilling
station and have the pressure relieved
from the cylinder. The cylinder is no
longer authorized for use. Refilling
stations and cylinder requalification
facilities are advised that DOT–E 12695
has been suspended and these cylinders
may not be refilled or requalified for
service.
This safety advisory covers all highpressure DOT exemption cylinders
manufactured by Global Composites
International, Inc. and marked with
DOT exemption number DOT–E 12695
