ACTION: Rescind notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. AGENCY: SUMMARY: FHWA in cooperation with TxDOT and the Alamo RMA issued a NOI on July 31, 2009, advising the public that they would be preparing an EIS for transportation improvements to Loop 1604 from FM 1957 to I–35 North, a distance of 32.35 miles. FHWA, TxDOT and Alamo RMA then issued an amended NOI to advise the pubic of changes to the aforementioned EIS for proposed Loop 1604 improvements. Specifically, the southwestern limit of the proposed improvements changed from FM 1957 to US 90 for a total distance of approximately 37 miles. The change to the limits of the proposed improvements was consistent with the San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Mobility 2035 Plan (December 2009) and was done as part of a response to comments received during the first scoping meetings held in October 2009. Since then, changes in the MPO’s Mobility 2035 Plan and detailed analysis of the corridor have led to a decision to significantly change the design concept and scope of the proposed project and implementation. It is anticipated the project will be analyzed in two or more independent projects with different scopes and separate environmental documents. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration [Docket No. FMCSA–2007–28043] Hours of Service (HOS) of Drivers; Application for Renewal and Expansion of American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) Exemption From the 14-Hour Rule During Independence Day Celebrations Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of application for renewal and expansion of exemption; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) has requested a renewal of its exemption for 48 APA member-companies from FMCSA’s regulation that drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) may not drive after the 14th hour after coming on duty, and the expansion of its exemption to PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10 additional carriers. The APA was previously granted an exemption for 48 of the 58 APA member-companies during the Independence Day periods in 2011 and 2012. Like the other 48 member-companies that operated under the 2011–2012 exemption, the 10 additional member-companies would be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the exemption for the 2013–2014 periods. The exemption would apply solely to the operation of CMVs by these 58 APA-member companies in conjunction with staging fireworks shows celebrating Independence Day during the periods June 28–July 8, 2013, and June 28–July 8, 2014, inclusive. During these two periods, approximately 3,200 CMVs and drivers employed by these APA member-companies would be allowed to exclude off-duty and sleeper-berth time of any length from the calculation of the 14-hour driving window. These drivers would not be allowed to drive after accumulating a total of 14 hours of onduty time, following 10 consecutive hours off duty, and would continue to be subject to the 11-hour driving time limit, and the 60- and 70-hour on-duty limits. The APA maintains that the terms and conditions of the limited exemption would ensure a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved without the exemption. DATES: If granted, this exemption would be effective during the periods of June 28, 2013, through July 8, 2013, inclusive, and June 28, 2014, through July 8, 2014, inclusive. The exemption would expire on July 8, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. Comments must be received on or before June 6, 2013.
