Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 7, 2010 / Notices
Dissemination,’’ it states that ‘‘The
Secretary shall conduct a highways for
life technology transfer program.’’ It
further states that ‘‘The Secretary shall
establish a process for stakeholder input
and involvement in the development,
implementation, and evaluation of the
Highways for LIFE Pilot Program. The
process may include participation by
representatives of the State departments
of transportation and other interested
persons.’’ Also, it states that, ‘‘The
Secretary shall monitor and evaluate the
effectiveness of any activity carried out
under this section.’’
A critical element in accomplishing
these goals is to ensure that the
technologies being deployed by FHWA
and implemented by the States actually
fill a specific need. Therefore, it is
important that FHWA obtain feedback
both before and after specific
technologies are transferred. If, for
example, FHWA determined on its own
that a particular innovation was
important, yet never actually
determined whether States would value
such an innovation, much time and
money would have been wasted. Or, if
there were an innovation that was
deployed to States, yet FHWA never
followed up to determine if the effort
was a success, or how it might be even
more successful, lessons could not be
learned and put into effect.
In FHWA’s Strategic Plan, the first
goal listed is ‘‘National Leadership.’’
Under that topic, the first objective is
‘‘Advance Innovation: FHWA is
recognized as a leader in the
development and promotion of
innovative solutions that address
current and emerging transportation
issues.’’ Item 1.1 is ‘‘Systematically
identify emerging issues and needs that
could impact transportation,’’ and item
1.2 is ‘‘Identify, develop, promote, and
rapidly implement new and proven
technologies and innovative solutions to
improve system performance.’’ These
‘‘innovative solutions’’ cannot properly
identify what might work without
discussing the needs for such things
with the user groups—the States.
Likewise, it cannot promote and
implement them without an appropriate
understanding of how the user
organizations—the States—feel about
the particular innovations; and this can
only come from a formal survey.
Respondents: There are 260
respondents, including 5 each from 50
State Transportation Departments, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Frequency: Once a year, for three
years.

Notice: Elimination of Expiration Dates
for Classification Approvals
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:24 Sep 03, 2010
Jkt 220001
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA, United States
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Revised notice of intent.
AGENCY:
In 2005, PHMSA initiated a
policy imposing a 5-year expiration date
on firework classification approvals to
ensure that background information
supporting the approval is current and
applicable, information is up-to-date
and complete, obsolete approvals are
eliminated from the PHMSA database,
and approvals are amended with new
requirements and/or methods as
necessary. In 2009, this policy was
extended to include all types of
classification approvals, including
explosives, oxidizing substances,
organic peroxide materials and selfreactive substances. PHMSA is changing
its policy and eliminating expiration
dates for classification approvals
because the policy has had
unanticipated effects since its
implementation. For instance,
explosives assigned EX numbers, and
self-reactive materials and organic
peroxide materials, assigned CA
numbers, have a shelf life far beyond the
5-year expiration date. Consequently, a
product shipped in accordance with a
classification approval with a 5-year
expiration date becomes ineligible for
domestic transport on the date the
approval expires despite the product
continuing to be safe for transport.
Existing classification approvals with
expiration dates will be reissued by
PHMSA in accordance with the change
of policy. While expiration dates for
classification approvals will be
eliminated, PHMSA retains the
authority to issue approvals with
expiration dates on a case-by-case basis.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of these amendments is September 7,
2010.

Environmental Impact Statement:
Queens County, NY
The FHWA is issuing this
revised notice to advise the public that
the FHWA will not be preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the proposed Bridge Rehabilitation
and Interchange Improvements Project
on the Long Island Expressway (LIE)
from the Grand Central Parkway (GCP)
to the Van Wyck Expressway, Queens
County, NY. A Notice of Intent to
prepare an EIS was published in the
Federal Register on March 12, 2004.

SUMMARY:
The
FHWA, in cooperation with the New
York State Department of
Transportation previously intended to
prepare an EIS for the Bridge
Rehabilitation and Interchange
Improvements Project on the Long
Island Expressway from the Grand
Central Parkway to the Van Wyck
Expressway, Queens County, New York.
The purpose of the original Project
was to address various geometric,
operational, and structural deficiencies

associated with the interchange. The
project proposed direct connector ramps
and new structures.
An Expanded Project Proposal (EPP)
was issued in 2002 and the project was
programmed with a cost estimate of
$130 million. During preliminary
design, the cost estimate increased to
approximately $250 million and the
operational improvements for the build
alternatives were found not to be as
effective in reducing congestion as
expected. Also, the Region’s capital
program has been reduced and available
funding has been re-allocated to more
critical needs.
Currently, the bridges within the
interchange have a number of severely
deteriorated elements, including the
concrete decks and superstructures, that
require prompt treatment to keep them
in service and to address urgent safety
concerns. The bridges also do not meet
current geometric standards.
Since the proposed operational
benefits from the build alternatives were
found not to be as expected, it is
proposed to terminate the EIS. However,
the three bridges carrying the LIE and
service roads over the GCP have
significant deck and steel superstructure
deterioration that require prompt
treatment to keep them in service. The
infrastructure improvements being
considered will not have a significant
impact on the environment. To address
these bridge conditions, a reduced scope
project will be progressed as a NEPA
Class II Categorical Exclusion.
