the Lower Rio Grande Valley is
rescinded. The original notice dated
January 15, 2004 was published in the
Federal Register Volume 69, number 10
and on pages 2382–2383. The original
notice can be viewed electronically

Engineer (District B, South), Federal
Highway Administration, Texas

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT),
published a Notice of Intent in the
Federal Register on January 15, 2004
(Volume 69, No. 10 Page 2382) and a
Notice of Intent correction published on
January 30, 2004 (Volume 69, No. 20,
Page 4557) to prepare a Tier One EIS for
the proposed extension of I–69 from
near Laredo and the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The proposed Tier One EIS was
to evaluate the National High Priority
Corridor 18 and Corridor 20 systems. In
addition, I–69 was also being evaluated
as part of the Trans-Texas Corridor
(TTC) system which would have
included lanes for passenger vehicles,
separate lanes for trucks, rail lines, and
a utility corridor.
The I–69/TTC Tier One DEIS was
released for public review and comment
on November 13, 2007. A Notice of
Availability (NOA) was published in the
Texas Register on December 11, 2007
and in the Federal Register on
December 14, 2007. TxDOT held public
hearings on the Tier One DEIS in
February and March of 2008. In June
2008, TxDOT informed the FHWA of
their intent to eliminate the Tier One
New Location Alternative and not
advance it as an alternative for the I–69/
TTC project. TxDOT further
recommended that only the use of
existing and planned transportation
facilities be advanced as the preferred
alternative. The basis for this decision
centered on consideration of
environmental and transportation
planning factors in combination with
the technical comments received on the
Tier One DEIS. Also, on January 6, 2009,
TxDOT unveiled Innovative
Connectivity in Texas/Vision 2009
which defined a new vision for
TxDOT’s corridor development process
and resulted in the retirement of the
Trans-Texas Corridor concept. As a
result of the retirement of the TTC
concept and TxDOT’s intent to only
evaluate the use of existing and planned
facilities to develop I–69, the project

above mentioned notices are rescinded.

America, Renewal of Exemption
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition.
AGENCY:
FMCSA announces its final
decision regarding Volvo Trucks North
America’s (Volvo) application for an
exemption for Andreas Hamsten to
enable him to continue to test-drive
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in
the United States without a commercial
driver’s license (CDL) issued by one of
the States. FMCSA previously
announced its decision to renew the
exemption and requested comment on
the decision. No comments were
received.
DATES: This exemption is effective from
June 18, 2010 through June 18, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Christine Hydock, FMCSA Driver and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315,
FMCSA may renew an exemption,
including an exemption from the CDL
requirements of 49 CFR 383.23, for a
maximum 2-year period if it finds ‘‘such
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to, or greater
than, the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.’’ The procedures
for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are prescribed in 49 CFR part
381. FMCSA evaluated Volvo’s
application on its merits and decided to
renew Andreas Hamsten’s exemption
for a two-year period, effective June 18,
2010, as previously announced in the
Federal Register (75 FR 45198, August
2, 2010).
