Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices Notice of intent to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement. ACTION: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), intends to prepare a Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) and Supplemental Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation for proposed improvements to US Route 340 in Jefferson County, West Virginia. DATES: To ensure that a full range of issues related to the proposed action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments and suggestions concerning the proposed action and the SDEIS should be submitted to FHWA or West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways (WVDOH) at the address below or through the WVDOH’s Web site at www.transportation.wv.gov within 30 days to ensure timely consideration. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jason Workman, Director, Office of Program Development, Federal Highway Administration, 700 Washington Street, E., Charleston, WV 25301; telephone: (304) 347–5928; email: jason.workman@ dot.gov or Ben Hark, Environmental Section Head, Engineering Division, WVDOH, State Capitol Complex, Building 5, 1900 Kanawha Boulevard, East, Charleston, WV 26305; telephone: (304) 558–2885; email: ben.l.hark@ wv.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. Description of the Proposed Action—The FHWA, in cooperation with the WVDOH, will prepare a SDEIS for the US 340 Improvement Project in Jefferson County, West Virginia. The proposed limits extend from the existing four-lane section of US 340 southwest of the Virginia/West Virginia state line to the existing four lane section of the Charles Town Bypass (US 340) south of Charles Town, West Virginia, approximately two miles north of the community of Rippon. The total length of the proposed project is approximately four miles. 2. Alternatives—Alternatives under consideration in the SDEIS will include: (1) Taking no action, and (2) constructing a four-lane, partially controlled access highway on new location. Various alignment alternatives will be evaluated to address land use changes that have occurred since the DEIS was prepared. Effects of these new build alternatives on the human and emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:32 Jan 13, 2014 Jkt 232001 natural environment will be analyzed and documented, based on the results of new preliminary engineering studies and public and agency comments. 3. Scoping and Review Process—A notice of intent announcing the preparation of an environmental impact statement was published in the Federal Register on February 9, 1996. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation was approved by FHWA for the proposed project in November 2001 (Federal Project NH–0340(030). A SDEIS is now needed because of the length of time that has elapsed since the DEIS was approved and because of changes in land usage in the project area during that time. As part of the earlier study, a formal scoping process was carried out. The results of that process will be reviewed and updated through coordination with the appropriate jurisdictional agencies. In addition, a Purpose and Need report was prepared for the proposed project. The purpose of the proposed project is to address safety deficiencies along the two-lane section of US 340 and to improve system linkage between the existing four-lane segments of US 340 north and south of the two-lane project segment. The 2001 DEIS documented that a highway improvement on new alignment was the most effective way of achieving the purposes of the proposed action. Several new alignment build alternates were developed and compared to the no-build alternative during the development of the DEIS. 4. Significant Issues—Based on preliminary information, the issues to be analyzed in the SDEIS are likely to include, but are not limited to, the effects to above ground and buried Historic Properties; effects on threatened and endangered species, surface water and groundwater resources, including aquatic habitat, water quality and wetlands; effects on the immediate and adjacent property owners and nearby communities; effects on socioeconomics and land use; transportation impacts; and cumulative and secondary effects. 5. Additional Review and Consultation—The SDEIS will comply with other Federal and State requirements including, but not limited to, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP–21); Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) State water quality certification under Section 401 of the CWA; protection of water quality under the West Virginia/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System; protection of air quality under the West Virginia Air Pollution Control Act; protection of endangered and threatened PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2505 species under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA); and protection of cultural resources under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). 6. Availability of the SDEIS—A SDEIS will be available for public review and comment. Individuals interested in obtaining a copy of the SDEIS for review should contact the FHWA or WVDOH. A workshop public hearing will be held during the SDEIS review period. Public notice will be given of the times and places for the hearing. Comments will also be accepted through the WVDOH Web site at the URL provided above. Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:32 Jan 13, 2014 Jkt 232001 Background Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS, and has no substantially similar U.S.-certified counterpart, shall be refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that the motor vehicle has safety features that comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other evidence as NHTSA decides to be adequate. Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in the Federal Register. US Specs of Havre de Grace, Maryland (Registered Importer 03–321) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether nonconforming 2006–2013 Honda NT700V (Deauville) motorcycles are eligible for importation into the United States. US Specs contends that these vehicles are eligible for importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they have safety features that comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable FMVSS. In its petition, US Specs described the nonconforming 2006–2013 Honda NT700V (Deauville) as the same model as the U.S.-certified 2010–2011 Honda NT700V. Because the NT700V (Deauville) model was introduced in countries other than the U.S. as a new model before the introduction of the U.S-certified version in 2010, the petitioner acknowledged that it could not base its petition on the substantial similarity of the 2006–2013 Honda NT700V (Deauville) to the U.S.-certified 2010 Honda NT700V motorcycles due to the petitioning requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), as set forth in 49 CFR part 593. Instead, the petitioner chose to establish import eligibility on the basis that the vehicles have safety features that comply with, or are capable of being modified to comply with, the FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other evidence that NHTSA decides to be adequate as set PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 forth in 49 U.S.C part 30141(a)(1)(B). The petitioner contends that the 2006– 2013 Honda NT700V, which the agency believes is also marketed as the Honda Deauville in other markets, utilizes the same components as the U.S.-certified 2010–2011 Honda NT700V motorcycles in virtually all of the systems subject to the applicable FMVSS. Specifically, the petitioner claims that 2006–2013 Honda NT700V (Deauville) motorcycles have safety features that comply with Standard Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other than Passenger Cars, 122 Motorcycle Brake Systems, and 205 Glazing Materials. The petitioner further contends that the vehicles are capable of being altered to comply with the following standards, in the manner indicated: Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment: Inspection of all vehicles and replacement of the following with U.S.certified components on vehicles not already so equipped: (a) Headlamp; (b) front and rear side-mounted reflex reflectors; (c) front, side, and rearmounted reflex reflector; (d) tail lamp assembly (including stoplamp, taillamp, turn signals, and license plate lamp); and (e) front turn signal lamps.

Morgan’s petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), Morgan submitted a petition for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. This notice of receipt of Morgan’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. II. Vehicles involved: Affected are approximately 139 MY 2012 and 2013 Morgan model M3W three-wheeled motorcycles manufactured during the period August 1, 2012 to August 14, 2013. III. Noncompliance: Morgan explains that the noncompliance is that the wind deflectors on the vehicles do not have the markings required by FMVSS No. 205. IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205 requires in pertinent part: S6.1 A prime glazing material manufacturer must certify, in accordance PO 00000 Frm 00101 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2507 with 49 U.S.C. 30115, each piece of glazing material to which this standard applies that is designed— (a) As a component of any specific motor vehicle or camper; or (b) To be cut into components for use in motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment. S6.2 A prime glazing manufacturer certifies its glazing by adding to the marks required by section 7 of ANSI/SAE Z26.1– 1996, in letters and numerals of the same size, the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ and a manufacturer’s code mark that NHTSA assigns to the manufacturer. NHTSA will assign a code mark to a manufacturer after the manufacturer submits a written request to the Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590. The request must include the company name, address, and a statement from the manufacturer certifying its status as a prime glazing manufacturer as defined in S4. S6.3 A manufacturer or distributor who cuts a section of glazing material to which this standard applies, for use in a motor vehicle or camper, must— (a) Mark that material in accordance with section 7 of ANSI/SAE Z26.1–1996; and (b) Certify that its product complies with this standard in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30115. V. Summary of Morgan’s Analyses: Morgan stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: a. The wind deflector fitted in the M3W uses glazing that conforms to item 6 ANSI 226.1–1996-windshields for motorcycles. It is so small (its dimensions are 1O″ x 5″) that it is not requisite for driving visibility. b. Morgan owners will go to Morgan dealers for replacement of the wind deflector. c. The noncompliance is not likely to increase the safety risk to individual occupants who experience the type of injurious event against which the standard was designed to protect. d. There have been no reports of any safety issues. Both in the US and the rest of the world, Morgan knows of no injuries caused by the noncompliance. e. The subject noncompliance here is inconsequential in view of the nature of the vehicle in question because Morgan possesses attributes enumerated in several previous NHTSA inconsequential noncompliance determinations that it believes can be applied to a decision on its petition. See Morgan’s petition for a complete discussion of its reasoning. Morgan additionally stated that it shall as regards ongoing production; mark the wind deflector to comply with the FMVSS No. 205 requirements. In summation, Morgan believes that the described noncompliance of the subject vehicles is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that its petition, to exempt from providing E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not 
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS, and has no 
substantially similar U.S.-certified counterpart, shall be refused 
admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that the 
motor vehicle has safety features that comply with, or are capable of 
being altered to comply with, all applicable FMVSS based on destructive 
test data or such other evidence as NHTSA decides to be adequate.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either 
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to 
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice 
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords 
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the 
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is 
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in 
the Federal Register.
    US Specs of Havre de Grace, Maryland (Registered Importer 03-321) 
has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether nonconforming 2006-2013 Honda 
NT700V (Deauville) motorcycles are eligible for importation into the 
United States. US Specs contends that these vehicles are eligible for 
importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they have safety 
features that comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply 
with, all applicable FMVSS.
    In its petition, US Specs described the nonconforming 2006-2013 
Honda NT700V (Deauville) as the same model as the U.S.-certified 2010-
2011 Honda NT700V. Because the NT700V (Deauville) model was introduced 
in countries other than the U.S. as a new model before the introduction 
of the U.S-certified version in 2010, the petitioner acknowledged that 
it could not base its petition on the substantial similarity of the 
2006-2013 Honda NT700V (Deauville) to the U.S.-certified 2010 Honda 
NT700V motorcycles due to the petitioning requirements of 49 U.S.C. 
30141(a)(1)(A), as set forth in 49 CFR part 593. Instead, the 
petitioner chose to establish import eligibility on the basis that the 
vehicles have safety features that comply with, or are capable of being 
modified to comply with, the FMVSS based on destructive test data or 
such other evidence that NHTSA decides to be adequate as set forth in 
49 U.S.C part 30141(a)(1)(B). The petitioner contends that the 2006-
2013 Honda NT700V, which the agency believes is also marketed as the 
Honda Deauville in other markets, utilizes the same components as the 
U.S.-certified 2010-2011 Honda NT700V motorcycles in virtually all of 
the systems subject to the applicable FMVSS.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims that 2006-2013 Honda NT700V 
(Deauville) motorcycles have safety features that comply with Standard 
Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, 119 New Pneumatic 
Tires for Vehicles Other than Passenger Cars, 122 Motorcycle Brake 
Systems, and 205 Glazing Materials.
    The petitioner further contends that the vehicles are capable of 
being altered to comply with the following standards, in the manner 
indicated:
    Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated 
Equipment: Inspection of all vehicles and replacement of the following 
with U.S.-certified components on vehicles not already so equipped: (a) 
Headlamp; (b) front and rear side-mounted reflex reflectors; (c) front, 
side, and rear-mounted reflex reflector; (d) tail lamp assembly 
(including stoplamp, taillamp, turn signals, and license plate lamp); 
and (e) front turn signal lamps.
    Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: Inspection of all vehicles and 
installation of compliant rearview mirrors on vehicles not already so 
equipped.
    Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims for Vehicles other than 
Passenger Cars: Installation of a tire information placard.
    Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls and Displays: (a) Modification 
or replacement of the speedometer so that it reads in miles per hour if 
not already so equipped; and (b) installation of an ignition switch 
label if not already so equipped.
    Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials: Inspection of windscreen (if so 
equipped) for compliance and removal of any non-compliant components.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing 
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for 
examination in the docket at the above addresses both before and after 
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing 
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition 
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority 
indicated below.
