SUMMARY: FHWA is issuing this notice
to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement will be
prepared for proposed transportation
improvements in the Tooele Valley area
of Tooele County, Utah.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Manager, 2010 South 2760 West, Salt
Lake City, UT 84104. Telephone: (801)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with UDOT and
Tooele County, will prepare an EIS on
a proposal to address current and
projected north-south traffic demand in
the Tooele Valley area of Tooele County.
The proposed project study area is
bounded by Sheep Lane to the west,
SR–36 to the east, the Tooele Army
Depot (TEAD), SR–112, and Tooele City
to the south, and I–80 to the north.
FHWA, UDOT, and Tooele County
implemented an Environmental
Assessment (EA), in May of 2007, in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
During the EA, it was determined by the
Joint-Lead Agencies to up-scope the
study to an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS).
The EIS will conform to the
environmental review process
established in Section 6002 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: a Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU). The Section 6002
environmental review process requires
the following activities: the
identification and invitation of
cooperating and participating agencies;
the establishment of a coordination
plan; and opportunities for additional
agency and public comment on the
project’s purpose and need, alternatives
and methodologies for determining
impacts. Additionally, a public hearing
following the release of the draft EIS
will also be provided. Public notice
advertisements and direct mailings will
notify interested parties of the time and
place of public meetings and the public
hearing.
The EIS will take into account all
aspects of the study previously
completed during the Environmental
Assessment process. Scoping letters
describing the proposed action and
soliciting comments were sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to organizations and
citizens who have previously expressed,
or who are known to have, an interest

in this proposal. A public scoping
meeting to which agencies and the
public were invited was held on June
13, 2007 in Tooele County. The public,
as well as Federal, State, and local
agencies, were invited to participate in
a project scoping process. From this
participation a number of alternatives
were developed and environmental
issues and resources identified.
FHWA will continue to study and
consider a reasonable range of
alternatives which meet the project
purpose and needs. These alternatives
include (1) Taking no action; (2) Using
alternative travel modes; (3) Upgrading
and adding lanes to the existing
roadway network including SR–36; and
(4) Constructing a highway/expressway
on a new location through the project
study area.
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 agencies
and parties. Cooperating and
participating agency invitation letters
will be sent out following the
publication of the Notice of Intent.
Comments and suggestions concerning
this proposed action and the EIS should
be directed to FHWA at the address
provided above.

Notice and Request for Information
and Comment on Development and
Application of Crash Warning Interface
Metrics

ACTION: Notice and request for
information and comment on

Vehicle Safety Technologies in early
2007, participants from the automobile
industry, government, and academia
gathered to discuss the research
necessary to ensure that future design
and operation of these technologies are
developed with an understanding of the
driver’s ability to use them. Underlying
this objective is a requirement to have
techniques and metrics to quantify how
well drivers can use and benefit from
the technologies. Without common,
reliable, and safety-related metrics, it is
difficult to develop, evaluate, and
compare different systems as well as to
determine the impact of nonstandardized warning interfaces.
To address this issue, NHTSA is
initiating a program to develop a set of
standard metrics and test procedures to
assess the Driver-Vehicle Interface (DVI)
of Advanced Crash Warning Systems
(ACWS). ACWS are technologies to
assist drivers who may be unaware of
impending collisions by alerting them of
potential threats. Examples include
forward collision warnings, lane
departure warnings, and road departure
warnings. The DVI is the means by
which ACWS communicate with drivers
to help them avoid a threat. In order for
ACWS to achieve their intended safety
benefits, drivers need to be able to
quickly understand the ACWS threat
information and respond appropriately
without confusion. The warning timing,
reliability, warning modes, device
controls, and displays are examples of
the DVI characteristics that can affect
the ability of drivers to achieve the
intended safety benefits without
possible adverse consequences. Crash
Warning Interface Metrics (CWIM) are
derived from tests of drivers’
performance using ACWS, indicating
the compatibility of the DVI with
drivers’ capabilities and needs.
This notice invites comments,
suggestions, and recommendations from
all individuals and organizations that
have an interest in the development and
use of Crash Warning Interface Metrics.
NHTSA requests comments to assist the
agency in identifying, evaluating, and
selecting CWIM and associated test
methods for assessing the role of the
DVI in influencing driver performance
with ACWS.
You should submit your
comments early enough to ensure that
Docket Management receives them not
later than April 17, 2008. Late
comments may be considered.
DATES:
You may submit comments
identified by DOT Docket ID Number
NHTSA–2007–0038 by any of the
following methods:
