Rescinding the Notice of Intent for an
Environmental Impact Statement:
Gilpin, Clear Creek, and Jefferson
Counties, CO
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice rescinds the
Notice of Intent for preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement that
was issued on August 11, 2000, for a
proposed transportation improvement
project in Gilpin, Clear Creek, and
Jefferson Counties, Colorado. The action
is being taken because there are no
federal or state funds identified to make
the proposed transportation
improvements in this corridor for the
next 20 years. It is not known when
federal or state funds may become
available for these improvements
therefore an Environmental Impact
Statement will not be prepared until
further notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Melinda Urban, Operations Engineer,
FHWA, Colorado Division, 12300 West
Dakota Avenue, Suite 180, Lakewood,
CO, 80228, Telephone: (720) 963–3015.
Mr. Russel Cox, Resident Engineer,
Colorado Department of Transportation
Region 1, 425 Corporate Circle, Suite
250, Golden, Colorado 80401,
Telephone: (720) 497–6905.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) in cooperation with the
Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) initiated an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) with a Notice of
Intent August 11, 2000, to improve
access into the gaming towns of
Blackhawk and Central City along the
SH 119 corridor. The FHWA and CDOT
have determined that while major
transportation improvements along SH
119 are needed, federal, state, or other
funds are not available to meet these
needs in the foreseeable future. Much
work has been completed towards an
EIS for this corridor and can serve as a
planning foundation for future projects
by CDOT.
In late 2008 it became apparent that
many transportation needs in the State
would be competing for very limited
funding. This EIS project was one of six
major Denver-area EISs initiated in 2000
with the expectation that funding levels
would continue and possibly increase.
While the need for a project is an
important factor in determining which
projects receive funding, those with the

greatest public and local-entity support
are more likely to receive funding in a
fiscally-constrained, long-range plan. As
a result, the current long-range plan
does not include funding for the
improvements considered in the
Gaming Area EIS. As such, it is not the
best use of limited public funds to
complete the NEPA process for this
project.
If any entity or authority, public or
private, wants to proceed with
improvements or connections to state
highways in this area in the future,
applicable state and federal
requirements must be met and
established study processes followed to
determine feasibility and environmental
impacts. In consultation with CDOT and
FHWA, the information collected as part
of Gaming EIS could support efforts to
develop these future NEPA, technical
studies, or smaller safety projects.
Decision-making for future projects
within the SH 119 corridor should
consider the purpose and need,
alternatives development and
evaluation, environmental resource
background data, and public and agency
coordination that was compiled as part
of the EIS process.

Grant of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
China Manufacturers Alliance, LLC
(CMA), as importer of record for
Dynacargo brand truck and bus radial
tires manufactured by Shandong Jinyu
Tyre Company Limited (Jinyu) has
determined that certain tires
manufactured during the period May
2007 through June 2008 do not fully
comply with paragraph S6.5(d) of 49
CFR 571.119 Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 119, New
Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles
With a GVWR of More than 4,536

Motorcycles. The affected tires were
imported by CMA and sold to American
Tire Distributors (ATD). CMA has filed
an appropriate report pursuant to 49
CFR Part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), CMA has petitioned for
an exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of
the petition was published, with a 30day public comment period, on
December 19, 2008, in the Federal
Register (73 FR 77873). No comments
were received. To view the petition and
all supporting documents log onto the

For further information on this
decision, contact Mr. George Gillespie,
Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), telephone
(202) 366–5299, facsimile (202) 366–
7002.
Affected are approximately 2,537 size
235/75R17.5/16 Dynacargo brand load
range H truck and bus tires
manufactured during the period May
2007 through June 2008 with DOT date
codes in the range 1407 through 2608.
1,153 1 of these tires are currently under
the control of ATD and 1,384 have been
sold to consumers.
Paragraph S6.5(d) of 49 CFR 571.119
requires in pertinent part:
S6.5 Tire markings. Except as specified in
this paragraph, each tire shall be marked on
each sidewall with the information specified
in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this section.
The markings shall be placed between the
maximum section width (exclusive of
sidewall decorations or curb ribs) and the
bead on at least one sidewall, unless the
maximum section width of the tire is located
in an area which is not more than one-fourth
of the distance from the bead to the shoulder
of the tire. If the maximum section width
falls within that area, the markings shall
appear between the bead and a point one-half
the distance from the bead to the shoulder of
the tire, on at least one sidewall. The
1 CMA’s petition, which was filed under 49 CFR
Part 556, requests an agency decision to exempt
CMA as importer from the notification and recall
responsibilities of 49 CFR Part 573 for all 2,537 of
the affected tires. However, the agency cannot
relieve ATD as distributer of the prohibitions on the
sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of the
noncompliant tires currently under its control.
Those tires must be brought into conformance,
exported, or destroyed.
