SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 29, 2005, FHWA and NDOR announced their intent to prepare an EIS pursuant to 40 CFR 1508.22 for the proposed improvements along a 26-mile segment of US–30, from Schuyler, Nebraska to Fremont, Nebraska. In an effort to develop a preliminary purpose and need statement and a reasonable range of alternatives, the NDOR convened a local public interest advisory group in 2005, which was comprised of residents, stakeholders, and local officials from the study area. In December 2006, the advisory group prepared a majority and a minority recommendation for a locally preferred solution, along with other reasonable alternatives. This recommendation was to be considered in the development of the range of alternatives to be studied in the EIS. After completion of the advisory group’s work, NDOR reviewed the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and determined that funding for construction of the project was not likely to be available for the foreseeable future; therefore, the environmental process was halted until a financial plan could be identified. In 2009, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began public meetings related to a Section 205 study of flood protection measures for the City of Fremont that included alternatives in the US–30 corridor. Although funding for construction of US–30 improvements was still uncertain, NDOR and FHWA determined that it would be beneficial for the US–30 environmental process to resume, coordinated with the USACE improvements. In 2011, NDOR was beginning to draft a Coordination Plan in accordance with Section 6002 of SAFETEA–LU to outline the process of agency and public participation during the environmental review process, when the Nebraska State Legislature enacted LB84, legislation which will divert 1⁄4 cent of the sales tax revenue for road construction projects for the next 20 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:40 Mar 06, 2012 Jkt 226001 years, beginning in 2013.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments. AGENCY: FMCSA announces that Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler) has applied for two drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to be exempt from the Federal requirement to hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) issued by one of the States. Daimler requests that the exemption cover two German project engineers who will test-drive CMVs for Daimler within the United States. Daimler states the exemption is needed to meet future vehicle safety and environmental regulatory requirements and to promote the development of technology advancements in vehicle safety systems and emissions reductions. These Daimler drivers hold valid German CDLs and need to be able to test-drive Daimler vehicles on U.S. roads to better understand product requirements for these systems in ‘‘real world’’ environments in the U.S. market, and verify results. Daimler believes the requirements for a German CDL are such that they ensure that the same level of safety is met or exceeded as if these drivers had U.S. state-issued CDLs.
