Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 15, 2017 / Notices
Interstate 94 (I–94). The purpose is to
provide improved public transportation
between downtown Saint Paul with its
east side neighborhoods and the
suburban cities of Maplewood, Landfall,
Oakdale, and Woodbury. Since the NOI
was published, through the
environmental review and locally
preferred alternative decision-making
process, the potential project length has
been reduced by approximately three
miles and the transit technologies under
evaluation have been reduced from light
rail transit, bus rapid transit (BRT), and
managed lanes to only BRT. Both these
changes have minimized the potential
impact of the proposed action. FTA,
WCRRA, and the Metropolitan Council
anticipate that an environmental
assessment (EA), leading to a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI), would
be the appropriate class of action under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) for this project. Therefore, the
FTA has decided to rescind the NOI for
the EIS.
Comments and questions concerning
the proposed actions should be directed
to FTA at the address provided above.

Regional Administrator.

Band Compatibility Assessment
Workshop VI
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Research and Technology
(OST–R), Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public that the U.S.
Department of Transportation will host
its sixth workshop on the Global
Positioning System (GPS) Adjacent
Band Compatibility Assessment effort.
The purpose of this workshop is to
discuss the results from testing of
various categories of GPS/Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
receivers to include aviation (noncertified), cellular, general location/
navigation, high precision and
networks, timing, and space-based
receivers, as well as use-case scenarios
for these categories.
This workshop is open to the general
public by registration only. For those
who would like to attend the workshop,
we request that you register no later
than March 27, 2017. Please use the

providing equal access to this workshop
for all participants. If you need
alternative formats or services because
of a disability, please contact Stephen
Mackey (contact information listed
below) with your request by close of
business March 24, 2017.
DATES: Date/Time: March 30, 2017
10:00AM–4:00PM (Eastern Daylight
Time).
LOCATION: RTCA, Inc., 1150 18th Street
NW., Suite 910, Washington, DC 20036.
Several days leading up to the
workshop, an email containing the
agenda, dial-in, and WebEx information
will be provided.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal
of the GPS Adjacent Band Compatibility
Assessment Study is to evaluate the
adjacent radio frequency band power
levels that can be tolerated by GPS/
GNSS receivers, and advance the
Department’s understanding of the
extent to which such power levels
impact devices used for transportation
safety purposes, among other GPS/
GNSS applications. The Department
obtained input from broad public
outreach in development of its GPS
Adjacent Band Compatibility
Assessment Test Plan that included four
public meetings with stakeholders on
September 18 and December 4, 2014,
and March 12 and October 2, 2015,
public issuance of a draft test plan on
September 9, 2015 (see 80 FR 54368),
and comments received regarding the
test plan. The final test plan was
published March 9, 2016 (see 81 FR
12564) and requested voluntary
participation in this Study by any
interested GPS/GNSS device
manufacturers or other parties whose
products incorporate GPS/GNSS
devices. In April 2016, radiated testing
of GNSS devices took place in an
anechoic chamber at the U.S. Army
Research Laboratory at the White Sands
Missile Range (WSMR) facility in New
Mexico. Additional lab testing was
conducted in July 2016 at Zeta
Associates in Fairfax, Virginia and
MITRE Corporation in Bedford,
Massachusetts (see 81 FR 44408). Initial
test results were presented at a fifth
public workshop on October 14, 2016
(see 81 FR 68105).
