SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for a proposed highway
project in Hamilton County, Ohio and
Kenton County, Kentucky. This Notice
of Intent is a follow-up to a notice
published in the Federal Register on
June 1, 2000 which advised the public
that a Major Investment Study for the I–
75 Corridor (completed in 2004) served
as the formal scoping process for the
preparation of one or more
Environmental Assessments or EISs.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mark L. Vonder Embse, Senior
Transportation Engineer, Federal
Highway Administration, 200 North
High Street, Room 328, Columbus, Ohio

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Ohio
Department of Transportation (ODOT)
and the Kentucky Transportation
Cabinet (KYTC), will prepare an EIS for
proposed improvements to I–75/I–71
and connecting routes in the vicinity of
the existing Ohio River crossing (Brent
Spence Bridge) and the Cities of
Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington,
Kentucky. The project termini are
approximately the Kyles Lane
Interchange in Covington to the Western
Hills Viaduct Interchange in Cincinnati.
The study area is approximately 6.5
miles in length.
The purpose and need of the project
are to improve traffic flow and level of
service, improve safety, correct
geometric deficiencies, and maintain
links in key mobility, trade, and
national defense transportation
corridors. Alternatives under
consideration include: (1) Taking no
action; and (2) rehabilitation/upgrading
of the existing infrastructure combined
with construction of new facilities on
new alignment; (3) replacement
infrastructure on new alignment; and (4)
other alternatives that may be developed
during the NEPA process. FHWA,
ODOT, KYTC, and local agencies will be
invited to participate in defining the
alternatives to be evaluated in the EIS,
and any significant social, economic, or
environmental issues related to the
alternatives.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to private organizations
and citizens who have previously
expressed or are known to have interest
in this proposal. Comments received
previously will be considered during
the EIS process. A series of public
meetings will be held in the project
area. In addition, a public hearing will

be held. Public notice will be given of
the time and place of the meetings and
hearing. The draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
relating 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
sent to the FHWA at the address

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption
Applications; Vision
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its
decision to exempt 47 individuals from
the vision requirement in the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs). The exemptions will enable
these individuals to operate commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate
commerce without meeting the
prescribed vision standard. The Agency
has concluded that granting these
exemptions will provide a level of safety
that is equivalent to, or greater than, the
level of safety maintained without the
exemptions for these CMV drivers.
DATES: The exemptions are effective July
20, 2006. The exemptions expire on July
21, 2008.
