withhold as little as a portion of one

NHTSA estimates that it will take on
average approximately eight (8) hours
for an entity to prepare a submission
requesting confidential treatment. This
estimate will vary based on the size of
the submission, with smaller and
voluntary submissions taking
considerably less time to prepare. The
agency based this estimate on the
volume of requests received over the
past three years.
NHTSA estimates that it will receive
approximately 450 requests for
confidential treatment annually. This
figure is based on the average number of
requests received over the past three
years. We selected this period because
it provides an estimate based on
incoming requests for the most recent
three years. The agency estimates that
the total burden for this information
collection will be approximately 3,600
hours, which is based on the number of
requests (450) multiplied by the
estimated number of hours to prepare
each submission (8 hours).
Since nothing in the rule requires
those persons who request confidential
treatment pursuant to Part 512 to keep
copies of any records or requests
submitted to us, recordkeeping costs
imposed would be zero hours and zero
costs.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506; delegation of
authority at 49 CFR 1.50.

The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that it
has decided to discontinue preparation
of an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the proposed relocation of

effort completed by the Tucson Airport
Authority (TAA), the owner and
operator of the airport. This planning
effort reveled the project purpose and
need has changed significantly. As a
result, FAA has determined the new
runway proposal at Tucson
International Airport is not ripe for
decision at this time.

On
October 13, 2005, the FAA, published in
the Federal Register a Notice of Intent
to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and hold a Public
Scoping Meeting at Tucson
International Airport (Volume 70,
Number 197, FR 59800–59801). The EIS
and Public Scoping Meeting were to
address the proposed relocation of
Runway 11R/29L and associated
development at airport.
In 2005, the FAA based its decision to
prepare the EIS on the procedures
described in FAA Order 5050.4A,
Airport Environmental Handbook, and
FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures. FAA
also based its decision to prepare a
federal EIS primarily on TAA’s proposal
to relocate Runway 11R/29L, 450 feet to
the southwest, creating a centerline to
centerline separation of 1,156 feet
between the existing Runway 11L29R.
The length of the relocated Runway
11R/29L would have been 11,000 feet
long by 150 feet wide.
Recently, the TAA completed a
planning effort that reveled that the
project’s purpose and need changed
significantly. Therefore, when the TAA
submits a new Airport Layout Plan with
a revised project depicted on it, the FAA
will determine the appropriate National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
documentation necessary to assess the
environmental effects of those
improvements pursuant to FAA Order
5050.4B, National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions
for Airport Actions, and FAA Order
1050.1E, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FWHA, in
cooperation with the Utah Department
of Transportation (UDOT), will prepare
an EIS on a proposal to address current
and projected traffic demand on 1800
North (SR–37) in the cities of Clinton
and Sunset in Davis County, Utah. The
proposed project area extends from 2000
West to I–15 along 1800 North, a
distance of approximately 2 miles.
Transportation improvements in this
area are needed to address current and
projected 2040 traffic demand along the
existing two-lane 1800 North corridor,
provide better east-west access, and
improve safety.
The FHWA will consider a reasonable
range of alternatives that meet the
project purpose and need and are based
on agency and public input. These
alternatives include: (1) Taking no
action; (2) using alternate travel modes;
(3) upgrading and adding lanes to the
existing roadway network, including
1800 North; (4) a grade separation at the
Union Pacific Railroad crossing on 1800
North; (5) a new interchange on I–15 at
1800 North; (6) improving adjacent
interchanges on I–15; (7) combinations
of any of the above; and (8) other
feasible alternatives identified during
the scoping process.
A Coordination Plan is being prepared
to define the agency and public
participation procedure for the
environmental review process. The plan
will outline how agencies and the
public will provide input during the
scoping process, the development of the
