Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 23, 2007 / Notices
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
has withdrawn its involvement from the
EIS process. In order to advance this
project, the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission has decided to continue
project development without federal
funding and FHWA oversight. Since this
project will require a Section 404 permit
from the Corps, the Corps will become
the lead federal agency.
The proposed highway is considered
necessary to improve the movement of
people and goods from the Mon Valley
to Interstate 79 in the area south of
Pittsburgh. Preliminary studies and
public and agency input have indicated
that the project needs cannot be met by
Transportation System Management
(TSM) activities, upgrading existing
roadways or mass transit improvements.
Several new tolled expressway
alternatives are under consideration.
The No Build Alternative is also under
consideration. Descriptions of these
alternatives, the results of the
engineering, traffic, and environmental
studies, and the environmental impacts
of the alternatives will be presented in
the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement.
A scoping meeting was held on this
project on August 18 and 19, 1993 in
Washington, Pennsylvania. Federal,
state, regional, county, and municipal
agency representatives attended and
participated in this scoping meeting. In
addition, an active public participation
program was implemented on this
project, including Special Agency
Coordination Meetings, special purpose
meetings with locally elected officials,
Executive Committee Meetings,
maintenance of a project website, and
implementation of a toll-free phone
number. A series of public meetings
have also been held to ensure public
input and participation. The Draft EIS
will be available for public and agency
review and comment prior to a public
hearing. Public notice will be given of
the time and place of the hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
identified and addressed, comments and
suggestions are invited from all
interested parties. Comments or
questions concerning this proposed
action and the EIS should be directed to
the Corps at the address provided above.

Acting Chief, Regulatory Branch, Pittsburgh
District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Office of Management is
announcing the availability of a
summary of the public comments it
received in response to a request for
public comments on the challenge the
Department of Energy (Department)
confronts with respect to the costs and
liabilities associated with contractor
employee pension and medical benefits.
The Department’s request for comments
was published in the Federal Register
on March 27, 2007.
ADDRESSES: The summary of public
comments is available on the Internet at
https://management.energy.gov/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Stephanie Weakley, Office of
Procurement and Assistance
Management, U.S. Department of
Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue,
SW., Washington, DC, 20585, 202–287–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On April 26, 2006, the Department
issued Department of Energy Notice
351.1, Contractor Employee Pension and
Medical Benefits Policy, which updated
and revised the Department’s policy
concerning reimbursement of
Management and Operating (M&O) and
other site management contractor
pension and medical benefit costs. On
June 19, 2006, the Secretary of Energy
suspended implementation of the
revised policy to permit consultation
with stakeholders about the purpose of
the Notice.
On March 27, 2007, the Department
published a Federal Register notice (72
FR 14266) seeking public comments
and/or recommendations on how the
Department should address the
challenge it faces due to the increasing
costs and financial liabilities associated
with the reimbursement of contractor
employee pension and medical benefit
costs. The Office of Management
established a Web site for the public to
submit their comments and/or
recommendations on how the
Department should address this
financial challenge.
The Office of Management received
approximately 475 comments in
response to the March 27, 2007, request
for public comments. The
overwhelming majority of comments
were from current and retired

Department employees who did not
support the new policy in the
suspended DOE Notice 351.1. The
remainder of the comments were
submitted by private citizens, labor
unions, and actuarial firms. As a result
of its stakeholder outreach and
consideration of public comments, the
Department decided not to reissue DOE
N 351.1 after it expired by its terms on
April 27, 2007. The Department is not
contemplating further action with
regard to contractor employee pension
and medical benefits at this time.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 15,
2007.
