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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Feb 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 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.

ACTION: Notice and request for information and comment on development and application of crash warning interface metrics. AGENCY: SUMMARY: During the NHTSA-led Human Factors Forum on Advanced PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11459 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: ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM 03MRN1

Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared for proposed 
transportation improvements in the Tooele Valley area of Tooele County, 
Utah.

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.
