the Willamette River in Portland,
Oregon. The existing Sellwood Bridge
has been identified by the ODOT
Statewide Bridge Inventory as deficient
for load and seismic purposes. It has a
sufficiency rating of 2 out of 100. The
sufficiency rating is a measure of a
bridge’s structural integrity and
transportation function with respect to
current design standards. The bridge has
narrow travel lanes and no shoulders
and one narrow sidewalk, with light
poles that intrude in the travel path of
the sidewalk. It is currently load limited
to 10 tons and restricts freight,
emergency vehicle, and bus traffic. The
western terminal of the bridge is located
on an active slide area. The structure
requires ongoing maintenance and
repairs. With 30,000 vehicles per day, it
has the highest traffic volumes of any
two-lane bridge in the state of Oregon.
The FHWA, ODOT and Multnomah
County will evaluate potential
transportation, environment, social,
cultural, and economic impacts of a
range of alternatives, including a no
build alternative. The project purpose
and need and range of alternatives will
be identified through consultations with
the public, Federal, State and local
agencies, and interested federally
recognized tribes. ODOT and
Multnomah County solicited public
comments on the propose project
through a public scoping meeting held
in Portland, Oregon on October 25,
2006. Federal, State and local agencies,
and interested federally recognized
tribes will be invited to attend agency
scoping meetings in December 2006.
Additional public, agency, and tribal
meetings will be held during the
development of the EIA. A public
hearing will also be held. In addition to
mailings, meetings and hearing dates,
times and locations will be announced
on the project Web site accessible at
https://www.sellwoodbridge.org/ and in
local and regional newspapers. The
draft EIS will be made available for
public, agency and tribal review and
comment prior to the 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
above.

Beacon Port LLC Liquefied Natural

Notice of availability; request

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
and the Maritime Administration
(MARAD) announce the availability of
the Final Environmental Impact
Statement (FEIS) for the Beacon Port
liquefied natural gas deepwater port
license application. The application
describes a project that would be
located in the Gulf of Mexico, in lease
block High Island Area 27, on the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS). The main
terminal would be located
approximately 45 miles south of High
Island and 50 miles east-southeast of
Galveston, Texas, with a riser platform
in lease block West Cameron 167,
approximately 27 miles south of Holly
Beach and 29 miles south-southeast of
Johnson’s Bayou, Louisiana.
DATES: Material submitted in response
to the request for comments must reach
the Docket Management Facility on or
before December 11, 2006.
On November 3, 2006 the applicant
informed MARAD and the Coast Guard
that they are withdrawing the Beacon
Port LLC Liquefied Natural Gas
Deepwater Port License application.
Therefore, public hearings on the
Deepwater Port License will not be held
since a license will not be granted on
the withdrawn application.
In their withdrawal notification the
applicant indicated that they may
determine at some future date to
resubmit the Beacon Port license
application (either modified or a new
application for this location). In that
event this Environmental Impact
Statement may be used as the basis for
any additional or updated NEPA
documentation that would be necessary
should the application be resubmitted.
For that reason, comments relating to
the FEIS are still being solicited.
