E6–18726 Filed 11–6–06; 8:45 am] Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Percentage Rates of Covered Aviation Employees for the Period of January 1, 2007, Through December 31, 2007 BILLING CODE 4910–13–P Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice. Federal Aviation Administration ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA has determined that the minimum random drug and alcohol testing percentage rates for the period January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007, will remain at 25 percent of safety-sensitive employees for random drug testing and 10 percent of safetysensitive employees for random alcohol testing. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jeffrey Stookey, Office of Aerospace Medicine, Drug Abatement Division, Program Analysis Branch (AAM–810), Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267–8442. Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR part 121, appendix I, section V.C, the FAA Administrator’s decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2005, the random drug test positive rate was 0.58%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2007. Similarly, 14 CFR part 121, appendix J, section III.C, requires the decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based on the random alcohol test violation rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2005, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.16%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2007.

ACTION: Notice of Intent. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FHWA is reissuing this notice to advise the public of changes to the Environmental Impact Statement that will be prepared for proposed improvements to the United States Port of Entry Plaza for the Blue Water Bridge in St. Clair County, Michigan. This Notice revises the published Notice of Intent of January 12, 2005.

Allegan Street, Room 201, Lansing, Michigan 48933, Telephone: (517) 702– 1835; or Mr. Paul McAllister, Supervisor, Environmental Section, Bureau of Transportation Planning, Michigan Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 30050, Lansing, MI 48909, Telephone: (517) 335–2622. 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. The Federal cooperating agencies for the project include: U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. General Service Administration (GSA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Blue Water Bridge is a major passenger and commercial border crossing between the United States and Canada and is the northern termination point for Interstate Routes I–69 and I– 94 in the United States and for Highway 402 in Canada. MDOT owns and operates the Blue Water Bridge Border Plaza. Several agencies operate on the United States Plaza. These agencies are responsible for inspecting vehicles, goods, and people entering the United States and include: CBP, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The inspection agencies lease facilities on the United States Plaza from MDOT through GSA, which serves as the Federal leasing agent. MDOT collects tolls from vehicles departing the United States for Canada on the plaza. PO 00000 Frm 00102 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 it extends to the west along I–69/I–94 for approximately 2.2 miles. The study area includes the existing plaza, the Black River Bridge, the Water Street interchange, and locations for off-site inspection facilities, located north of I–69/I–94 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. Three resource agency meetings and four public information meetings have been held. As a result of identified potentially significant impacts, FHWA and MDOT concluded that an environmental Impact Statement (EIS) should be completed. The purposes of this Environmental Impact Statement are to: • Accommodate projected 2030 traffic growth and potential future facility needs, • Minimize backups on Highway 402 and I–69/I–94 and correct existing traffic weaving issues, • Accommodate the latest inspection technologies and procedures, • Provide flexibility to accommodate future unknown inspection technologies and procedures, • Improve border security, • Provide facilities that ensure cars and trucks do not leave the plaza without being inspected, • Improve safety on the bridge, plaza, and I–69/I–94, • Reduce vehicle and pedestrian conflicts on the plaza, • Improve access between the plaza and the Port Huron area, and • Minimize routing of commercial traffic to local roads during maintenance operations. The need for improvements to the United States Plaza at the Blue Water Bridge is supported by several key issues including: • Traffic growth and repeated traffic backups, • Insufficient truck parking for inspection purposes, • The introduction of new inspection technology, • Emerging Security issues, • Insufficient space for the increased number of border inspection agents, • Traffic conflicts and crash history, and • Inadequate connections between the plaza and local roads needing improvements.
