ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Department of State has terminated
the statutory debarment against Rotair
pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of the Arms
Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C.
2778(g)(4)).
DATES: Effective Date: December 7, 2007.

Department of State (202) 663–2807.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
38(g)(4) of the AECA (22 U.S.C. 2778)
prohibits the issuance of export licenses
to a person, if that person or any party
to the export has been convicted of
violating section 38 of the AECA and
certain other U.S. criminal statutes
enumerated at section 38(g)(1)(A) of the
AECA. A person convicted of violating
the AECA is also subject to statutory
debarment under section 127.7 of the
ITAR.
In July 2004, Rotair was convicted of
violating the AECA and the ITAR (U.S.
District Court, District of Connecticut,
3:04CR 149–JBA). Based on this
conviction, Rotair was statutorily
debarred pursuant to section 127.7 of
the ITAR and, thus, prohibited from
participating directly or indirectly in
exports of defense articles and defense
services. Notice of debarment was
published in the Federal Register (70
FR 57349, September 30, 2005).
In accordance with section 38(g)(4) of
the AECA, statutory debarment may be
terminated after consultation with the
other appropriate U.S. agencies and
after a thorough review of the
circumstances surrounding the
conviction and a finding that
appropriate steps have been taken to
mitigate any law enforcement concerns.
The Department of State, after
consultation with other agencies, has
determined that Rotair has taken
appropriate steps to address the causes
of the violations and to mitigate any law
enforcement concerns. Therefore, the
debarment against Rotair is rescinded,
effective December 7, 2007. The effect of
this action is that Rotair may participate
without prejudice in the export of
defense articles and defense services
subject to Section 38 of the AECA and
the ITAR.
Dated: December 7, 2007.

The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT), will prepare an EIS to
investigate the possible relocation or
reconstruction of Route MM between
Route 21 and Route 30 in Jefferson
County, Missouri. A location study will
run concurrently with the preparation of
the EIS and will provide definitive
alternatives for evaluation in the EIS.
The EIS will fully analyze the issues,
problems, and potential social and
environmental impacts associated with
improving or realigning Route MM. The
goals of the proposed action are to
increase capacity, reduce congestion,
and improve safety.
The proposed project is located
between Route 21 on the east and Route
30 on the west, entirely within Jefferson
County. The project is approximately
4.3 miles in length.
Alternatives under consideration
include (1) no build; (2) improvements
to the existing alignment; (3) new
alignments; (4) safety improvements;
and (5) transportation management
options.
To date, preliminary information has
been issued to local officials and other
interested parties. As part of the scoping
process, an interagency coordination
meeting will be held with federal and
state resource agencies. In addition,
informational meetings with the public
and community representatives will be
held to solicit input on the project and
a reasonable range of alternatives. A
location public hearing will be held to
present the findings of the draft EIS
(DEIS). Public notice will be given
announcing the time and place of all
public meetings and the hearing. The
DEIS will be available for public and
agency 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 are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments and questions concerning
this proposed action and the EIS should
be directed to the FHWA or MoDOT at
the addresses provided above. Concerns
in the study area include potential
impacts to natural resources, cultural
resources, neighborhoods, and the
community of House Springs, located at
the western end of the study area.
Improvements to the existing alignment
could impact cultural resources,
adjacent residences, and the House
Springs business district. Realignment
of Route MM could impact a large
undeveloped, wooded area with
significant topographic relief,
