ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) intend to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to assess the environmental and community impacts of transit improvements proposed by KCATA and the City of Kansas City, Missouri in a 12-mile North/South travel corridor in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Because KCATA may decide to seek FTA New Starts funding for transit improvements in the corridor, this work will also satisfy the FTA requirement for an Alternatives Analysis through the development of a combined Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS). Possible transit improvements in the corridor are intended to improve access to the major employment center located in the central portion of the region, especially for that segment of the population that does not have access to the auto-oriented transportation system. Additionally, new transit facilities would support sustainable development patterns in the corridor. Alternatives proposed to be considered for accomplishing these purposes include (1) The Future No-Build Alternative, (2) a Transportation System Management (TSM) alternative that includes improvements to bus services, and (3) various fixed-guideway transit alternatives, including the light rail transit (LRT) line developed by the Citizens’ Light Rail Task Force. Scoping of the EIS will be accomplished through meetings and correspondence with interested individuals, organizations, Federal, PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5625 State, and local governmental agencies, and Native American tribes. DATES: Comment Due Date: Written comments on the scope of the EIS, including the purpose and need for action and the alternatives and impacts to be considered should be sent to Dick Jarrold of KCATA by March 17, 2008. See ADDRESSES below for his address. Public Scoping Meetings: A Public scoping meeting will be held at the Mohart Community Center at 3200 Wayne, Kansas City, Missouri 64109 on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Presentations summarizing the project and the Scoping process will be held at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The scoping meeting site is accessible to mobility-impaired individuals. If you wish to participate and need an interpreter, materials in alternate formats, or other accommodations, please contact Dick Jarrold at KCATA, (816) 346–0200 or djarrold@kcata.org. Please do so at least 48 hours prior to the meeting so that the proper arrangements can be made. Interagency Coordination: An interagency scoping meeting will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at the KCATA administration building, 1200 East 18th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64108. ADDRESSES: Send written comments on the EIS scope to Dick Jarrold, KCATA Project Manager, 1200 E. 18th St., Kansas City, MO 64108. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joan Roeseler, Federal Transit Administration, Region VII at (816) 329– 3920 or by e-mail at joan.roeseler@dot.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Scoping The FTA and KCATA invite all interested individuals, organizations, businesses, and Federal, state, and local agencies to comment on the scope of the EIS, including the project’s purpose and need, the alternative transit actions to be considered, and the impacts to be evaluated. During the scoping process, comments should focus on the purpose and need for a project, identifying specific transportation problems to be evaluated, or on proposing transportation alternatives that may be less costly, more effective, and have fewer environmental impacts while improving mobility in the corridor. Scoping information is available in hardcopy by request from Dick Jarrold as indicated above under DATES and on the project Web site at https:// www.kcata.org/lightrail.htm. During the scoping process, KCATA and FTA will extend an invitation to E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM 30JAN1
