ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments. AGENCY: FMCSA requests public comment on an application for exemption from the International Window Film Association (IWFA) to allow the use of certain glazing in the windows that does not meet the light transmission requirements specified in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). Section 393.60(d) of the FMCSRs currently permits windshields and to the immediate right and left of the driver windows to be tinted, as long as the light transmission is not restricted to less than 70 percent of normal. IWFA contends that since a reduction of light entering the truck cab interior will decrease not only available visible light but also scattered light, the exemption can significantly improve driver comfort and reduce eye strain while allowing films to be used that can also reduce the heat load of the interior environment, thus making the driver more comfortable as well as lowering energy use for cooling.

Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement for Transportation Improvements Along the Route 9 
Corridor in Middlesex County, Connecticut

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that, 
effective immediately, we are rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to 
prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed 
transportation improvements along the Route 9 Corridor located in the 
City of Middletown in Middlesex County, CT. The NOI was published in 
the Federal Register (FR) on August 9, 2002 (FR Vol. 67, No. 154, p. 
51924; FR Doc 02-20170).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eloise Powell, Team Leader for 
Planning, Environment, and Research, FHWA Connecticut Division, 628-2 
Hebron Avenue, Suite 303, Glastonbury, CT 06033, Telephone: (860) 494-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the 
Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), issued a NOI on 
August 9, 2002, to prepare an EIS for proposed transportation 
improvements along the Route 9 corridor, in the City of Middletown. The 
proposed improvements to be evaluated were located between the 
Washington Street (Route 66) intersection and the Arrigoni Bridge over 
the Mattabesset River for a distance of approximately 6,000 feet. The 
purpose of the proposed improvements was to provide additional capacity 
for existing and future traffic volumes. Due to the environmental 
constraints in the project area (particularly the location of NRHP-
eligible or NRHP-listed buildings in Middletown), as well as the re-
prioritization of major transportation projects in Connecticut, the 
CTDOT is no longer pursuing this project. Rather, studies are being 
done to determine specific safety and capacity improvements in the 
Route 9 corridor. Any future transportation improvements in the Route 9 
corridor will progress under a separate environmental review process, 
in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, the 
NOI for this project is rescinded.

    Dated: January 16, 2014.
