identify the transportation mode and
alignment for the proposed project with
the appropriate level of detail for
corridor-level decisions, or select the No
Action Alternative. The Tier I EIS will
also include a discussion of measures
that could be implemented to avoid,
minimize, or mitigate potential adverse
impacts of the build alternatives. These
measures would be developed to
mitigate both short-term (construction
phase) and long-term (operational)
adverse impacts of the proposed build
alternatives. The mitigation strategies
that will be examined will be designed
to specifically minimize any potential
adverse effects on the local communities
where new or expanded infrastructure is
proposed or where the operational
effects of increased freight movement
are expected. Tier II will then further
explore the selected alternative in
greater detail to evaluate regional and
localized environmental impacts and
outline site-specific mitigation measures
in project-level environmental
documentation. The PANYNJ and
FHWA intend to engage the community
in devising mitigation measures for
potential adverse impacts at both tiers of
the EIS. The scope of the Tier I and Tier
II analyses will be commensurate with
the level of detail necessary for those
documents. Input from the public and
from reviewing agencies will be
solicited during both tiers.

provisions and NEPA regulations, in
general, call for public involvement in
the EIS process. Section 6002 of
SAFETEA–LU requires that agencies: (1)
Extend an invitation to other Federal
and non-Federal agencies and Indian
tribes that may have an interest in the
proposed project to become
‘‘participating agencies;’’ (2) provide an
opportunity for involvement by
participating agencies and the public in
helping to define the purpose and need
for the proposed project, as well as the
range of alternatives for consideration in
the impact statement; and (3) establish
a plan for coordinating public and
agency participation in and comments
on the Scoping Document. Letters will
be sent to any agency with a fiduciary,
regulatory, or permitting authority over
the program as an invitation to be part
of the coordination process. Any
interested Federal or non-Federal
agency or Indian tribe that does not
receive an invitation to become a
participating agency can notify the
contact persons listed above.
A Coordination Plan will be
developed to facilitate and document
the lead agencies’ structured interaction
with the public and other agencies, and
to inform the public and other agencies
