Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In conformance with 23 U.S.C. 144(q), the FHWA has produced a report that summarizes the types of construction materials used in new bridge construction and bridge rehabilitation projects. Data on Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highway bridges are included in the report for completeness. The December 2009 National Bridge Inventory (NBI) dataset was used to identify the material types for bridges that were new or replaced within the defined time period. The FHWA’s Financial Management Information System and the 2010 NBI were used to identify the material types for bridges that were rehabilitated within the defined time period. Currently preventative maintenance projects are included in the rehabilitation totals. The report, which is available at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/ brdgtabs.cfm, consists of the following tables: • Construction Materials for New and Replaced Bridges, a summary report which includes Federal-aid highways and non-Federal-aid highways built in 2009 and 2008. • Construction Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report which includes Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highways rehabilitated in 2009 and 2008. • Construction Materials for Combined New, Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report which combines the first two tables cited above. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New and Replaced Bridges E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 6, 2011 / Notices 2009, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for Federal-aid bridges built or replaced in 2009. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New and Replaced Bridges 2008, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for Federal-aid bridges built or replaced in 2008. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New and Replaced Bridges 2009, a detailed Stateby-State report with counts and areas for non-Federal-aid bridges built or replaced in 2009. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New and Replaced Bridges 2008, a detailed Stateby-State report with counts and areas for non-Federal-aid bridges built or replaced in 2008. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges 2009, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for Federal-aid bridges rehabilitated in 2009. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges 2008, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for Federal-aid bridges rehabilitated in 2008. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges 2009, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for nonFederal-aid bridges rehabilitated in 2009. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges 2008, a detailed State-by-State report with counts and areas for nonFederal-aid bridges rehabilitated in 2008. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New, Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges 2009, which combines the 2009 reports on new, replaced and rehabilitated Federal-aid bridges. • Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New, Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges 2008, which combines the 2008 reports on new, replaced and rehabilitated Federal-aid bridges. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New, Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges 2009, which combines the 2009 reports on new, replaced and rehabilitated nonFederal-aid bridges. • Non-Federal-aid Highways: Construction Materials for New Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges 2008, which combines the 2008 reports on new, replaced and rehabilitated nonFederal-aid bridges. The tables provide data for 2 years: 2008 and 2009. The 2008 data is considered complete for new, replaced VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:00 Sep 02, 2011 Jkt 223001 and rehabilitated bridges, with a minimal likelihood of upward changes in the totals. The 2009 data is considered partially complete for new bridges and complete for rehabilitated bridges, because many new bridges built in 2009 will not appear in the NBI until they are placed into service the following year. Therefore, next year’s report will include 2009’s data on new bridge construction, because the data will be complete. Each table displays simple counts of bridges and total bridge deck area. Total bridge deck area is measured in square meters, by multiplying the bridge length by the deck width out-to-out. Culverts under fill are included in the counts but not in the areas because a roadway width is not collected. The data is categorized by the following material types, which are identified in the NBI: steel, concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and other. The category ‘‘other’’ includes wood, timber, masonry, aluminum, wrought iron, cast iron, and other. Material type is the predominate type for the main span(s).
