Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 217 / Thursday, November 12, 2009 / Notices
requires in each abandonment
exemption proceeding a detailed map of
the rail line, depicting the line’s relation
to other rail lines, roads, water routes,
and population centers. The Board uses
this information to determine the scope
and the impact of the proposed
abandonment. In addition, this
information is posted on the Board’s
Web site and serves as a form of notice
to current and/or potential shippers,
and to persons who might want to make
an offer of financial assistance under 49
U.S.C. 10904; acquire the line as a trail
under the National Trails System Act,
16 U.S.C. 1247(d); or acquire the line for
another public purpose under 49 U.S.C.
10905.

Collection Number Two
Title: System Diagram Maps (or, in the
case of small carriers, the alternative
narrative description of rail system).
OMB Control Number: 2140–0003.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change.
Respondents: Common carrier freight
railroads that are either new or reporting
changes in the status of one or more of
their rail lines.
Number of Respondents: 3.
Estimated Time per Response: 7.1
hours, based on average time reported in
informal survey of respondents
conducted in 2009.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 21
hours.
Total Annual ‘‘Non-Hour Burden’’
Cost: None have been identified.
Needs and Uses: Under 49 CFR
1152.10–1152.13, all railroads subject to
the Board’s jurisdiction are required to
keep current system diagram maps on
file, or alternatively in the case of a
Class III carrier (a carrier with assets of
not more than $20 million in 1991
dollars), to submit the same information
in narrative form. The information
sought in this collection identifies all
lines in a particular railroad’s system,
categorized to indicate the likelihood
that service on a particular line will be
abandoned and/or whether service on a
line is currently provided under the
financial assistance provisions of 49
U.S.C. 10904. Carriers are obligated to
amend these maps as the need to change
the category of any particular line arises.
The Board uses this information to
facilitate informed decision making, and
this information, which is available to
the public from the carrier by request,
49 CFR 1152.12(c)(3), may serve as
notice to the shipping public of the
carrier’s intent to abandon or retain a
line.

Under the
PRA, a Federal agency conducting or
sponsoring a collection of information
must display a currently valid OMB
control number. A collection of
information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c),
includes agency requirements that
persons submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to the agency, third
parties, or the public. Under section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, Federal
agencies are required to provide a 60day notice and comment period through
publication in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Environmental Assessment: Cameron
County, TX
AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Opportunity for public hearing
for Environmental Assessment (EA).
SUMMARY: FHWA is issuing this notice
to advise the public that an opportunity
for public hearing will be afforded. If a
request is made by interested citizens to
have a Public Hearing to discuss the
socio-economic and environmental
effects of the second international
bridge project at the Veterans
International Bridge at Los Tomates in
Brownsville, Texas. One will be
scheduled and adequate notices will be
publicized.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Engineer, Federal Highway
Administration, Texas Division, 300
East 8th Street, Room 826, Austin, Texas
78701, Telephone (512) 536–5960.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
in cooperation with Cameron County
and the City of Brownsville, plan to
construct a second international bridge
at the Veteran’s International Bridge
located at Los Tomates from the General
Services Administration (GSA)
Facilities in Brownsville, Cameron
County, Texas, to the International
Demarcation line on the Rio Grande, a
PO 00000

distance of approximately 0.26 miles.
The proposed improvement would be
constructed 32 feet downstream of the
existing bridge within the existing 300feet wide right-of-way (ROW) and
would not require additional ROW. No
displacement of individuals, families,
farms or non-profit organizations are
anticipated. The new bridge span would
provide service to and a connection
between Brownsville, Texas and H.
Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Cameron County and the City of
Brownsville plans to submit an
international bridge application for the
proposed bridge to the Texas
Transportation Commission.
The proposed bridge typical section
would have an overall width of 56 feet
consisting of four 12 feet wide travel
lanes and a 5 feet wide security chain
link fenced sidewalk for pedestrians.
The proposed bridge approach roadway
would consist of four 12′ wide travel
lanes, a sidewalk and shoulders with
variable width. The bridge connection
or the center bridge span would have an
overall maximum width of 88 feet and
would consist of two 12 feet wide travel
lanes, a travel lane of variable width
with a minimum from 12 feet to a
maximum of 48 feet and a 5 feet wide
security chain link fenced sidewalk for
pedestrians. The proposed bridge on the
U.S. side would be connected to a
similar proposed bridge structure in the
Mexico side. A mid-point connection of
the two bridges would be constructed to
provide flexibility in operation,
maintenance, and security. Five bridge
spans near the river would join the
existing bridge to the proposed bridge.
This transitional connection would
allow for one bridge to be operational
while maintenance is undertaken on the
opposite bridge. This bridge connection
section would allow traffic diversion
from one bridge to another in case of an
accident or emergency.
Approximately 0.406 acres of waters
of the U.S. including wetlands would be
impacted by the proposed
improvements. The proposed project is
located within the 100-year floodplain
and would permit the conveyance of the
100-year flood without causing
significant damage. Information about
the tentative construction schedule can
be obtained from the district office.
Location maps, design plans,
schematic, environmental assessment
and other available information
concerning the proposed project are on
file and available for viewing at the
TxDOT District office (956) 702–6100
located at 600 W. U.S. Expressway 83 in
Pharr. Copies can be obtained by
submitting a written request to the Pharr
District office. For your convenience, it

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance
Jefferson County Airpark Steubenville,
OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with
respect to land.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the
airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the
release of 1.8473 acres of airport
property for non-aeronautical
development. The land consists of a
portion of a 3.728 acre parcel acquired
under grant 3–390074–10. There are no
impacts to the airport by allowing the
Jefferson County to lease the property.
The land is not needed for aeronautical
use. Approval does not constitute a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the lease of the subject airport
property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from
the FAA. The disposition of proceeds
from the lease of the airport property
will be in accordance with FAA’s Policy
and Procedures Concerning the Use of
Airport Revenue, published in the
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
In accordance with section 47107(h)
of title 49, United States Code, this
notice is required to be published in the
Federal Register 30 days before
modifying the land-use assurance that
requires the property to be used for an
aeronautical purpose.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before December 14, 2009.
