the Federal Government, with a
connection that is direct and clear, not
remote or attenuated.
(B) The informative value of the
information to be disclosed: whether the
disclosure is likely to contribute to an
understanding of government operations
or activities. The disclosable portions of
the requested records must be
meaningfully informative about
government operations or activities to
be likely to contribute to an increased
public understanding of those
operations or activities. The disclosure
of information that already is in the
public domain, in either a duplicative or
a substantially identical form, would
not be likely to contribute to such
understanding.
(C) The contribution to an
understanding of the subject by the
public likely to result from disclosure:
whether disclosure of the requested
information will contribute to the
understanding of a reasonably broad
audience of persons interested in the
subject, as opposed to the individual
understanding of the requester. A
requester’s expertise in the subject area
and ability and intention to effectively
convey information to the public shall
be considered. It shall be presumed that
a representative of the news media
satisfies this consideration.
(D) The significance of the
contribution to public understanding:
whether the disclosure is likely to
contribute significantly to public
understanding of government operations
or activities. The public’s understanding
of the subject in question prior to the
disclosure must be significantly
enhanced by the disclosure.
(iii) In deciding whether disclosure of
the requested information is primarily
in the commercial interest of the
requester, the Office of FOIA Services
shall consider the following factors:
(A) The existence and magnitude of a
commercial interest: whether the
requester has a commercial interest that
would be furthered by the requested
disclosure. The Office of FOIA Services
shall consider any commercial interest
of the requester (with reference to the
definition of ‘‘commercial use
requester’’ in paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this
section), or of any person on whose
behalf the requester may be acting, that
would be furthered by the requested
disclosure. Requesters shall be given an
opportunity to provide explanatory
information regarding this
consideration.
(B) The primary interest in disclosure:
whether the public interest is greater
than any identified commercial interest
in disclosure. The Office of FOIA
Services ordinarily shall presume that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:02 Jun 27, 2018
Jkt 244001
where a news media requester has
satisfied the public interest standard,
the public interest will be the interest
primarily served by disclosure to that
requester. Disclosure to data brokers or
others who merely compile and market
government information for direct
economic return shall not be presumed
to primarily serve the public interest.
(iv) If only a portion of the requested
records satisfies both the requirements
for a waiver or reduction of fees, a
waiver or reduction of fees will be
granted for only that portion.
(v) Requests for a waiver or reduction
of fees should address all the factors
identified in paragraphs (g)(12)(ii) and
(iii) of this section.
(vi) Denials of requests for a waiver or
reduction of fees are adverse
determinations (as defined in paragraph
(e)(2)(iii) of this section) and may be
appealed to the General Counsel in
accordance with the procedures set
forth in paragraph (f) of this section.

Background
The NN consists of Interstate System
routes (except exempted routes) and
those non-Interstate System routes
added through the rulemaking process.
See 49 U.S.C. 31111(e)–(f) and 31113(e);
23 CFR part 658 Appendix A; see also
49 FR 23302 (June, 5, 1984). To ensure
that the NN remains substantially intact,
FHWA retains the authority to rule
upon all requests for additions to, and
deletions from, the NN as well as
requests for the imposition of certain
restrictions. Pursuant to 23 CFR 658.11,
requests for additions to the NN must be
submitted in writing to the appropriate
FHWA Division Office and endorsed by
the Governor or the Governor’s
authorized representative. Proposals for
addition of routes to the NN must also
be accompanied by an analysis of
suitability based on the criteria in 23
CFR 658.9. Once a non-Interstate

System route is added to the NN, it is
included in Appendix A of 23 CFR part
658—National Network—Federally
Designated Routes.
On November 10, 2017, FHWA
received a request from the New York
State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) proposing a modification to
the Interstate System. The request,
available in the rulemaking docket,
proposes the de-designation (removal
from the Interstate System) of the
Sheridan Expressway (I–895),
approximately a 1.3-mile Interstate
between the Bruckner Expressway (I–
278) and the Cross Bronx Expressway
(I–95). As part of the de-designation, the
State also proposes the functional
reclassification of this highway segment
from an Interstate to ‘‘Urban Principal
Arterial—Other’’ and to rename the road
Sheridan Boulevard (NY–895). The
physical alignment of the highway
would be maintained, and it would
therefore continue to provide the same
access for commercial vehicles as
currently exists. The FHWA intends to
act on this request pursuant to its
regulatory authority on revisions to the
Interstate System (23 CFR 470.115(a)
and 23 CFR 658.11(d)) and guidance on
Interstate System de-designations
(https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/
national_highway_system/interstate_
highway_system/withdrawalqa.cfm).
The NYSDOT intends to keep
Sheridan Boulevard (NY–895) in the
NN. Because the route would no longer
be in the Interstate System, it must be
added to NN as a non-Interstate System
route and be listed in 23 CFR part 658
Appendix A. The NYSDOT proposal
included the required analysis of
suitability based on the criteria in 23
CFR 658.9, which includes a crash
analysis and safety study, and also
documents effects on Interstate
commerce, effects on alternate routes,
effects on traffic operations, and
consultation with local governments.
The FHWA reviewed NYSDOT’s
proposal and affirms that the request to
add a route to the NN is consistent with
23 CFR 658.9 and 658.11 with respect
to the criteria for the NN and the
procedures for additions to the NN. The
FHWA published a Notice of Proposal
Rulemaking at 83 FR 15524 on April 11,
2018, proposing to approve the addition
of Sheridan Boulevard (NY 895) to the
NN and to revise existing regulations
(23 CFR part 658 Appendix A) to reflect
the addition. The FHWA did not receive
any comments to the NPRM and is
adopting the changes as proposed.
Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
As the Sheridan Expressway is
already part of the NN due to its
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:02 Jun 27, 2018
Jkt 244001
Interstate designation, FHWA has
determined there would be no
substantive impact to the public
resulting from the addition of the
reconstructed facility, Sheridan
Boulevard, to the NN.
Executive Order 13771 (Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs), Executive Order 12866
(Regulatory Planning and Review),
Executive Order 13563 (Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review),
and DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). The FHWA has determined that
this action is not a significant regulatory
action within the meaning of Executive
Order 12866 and is not significant
within the meaning of DOT regulatory
policies and procedures. Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance
of quantifying both costs and benefits,
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility. It is anticipated
that the economic impact of this
rulemaking would be minimal. These
changes would not adversely affect, in
a material way, any sector of the
economy. In addition, these changes
would not interfere with any action
taken or planned by another agency and
would not materially alter the budgetary
impact of any entitlements, grants, user
fees, or loan programs. Consequently, a
full regulatory evaluation is not
required. Finally, this rule is not an E.O.
13771 regulatory action because it is not
significant under E.O. 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
In compliance with the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354, 5 U.S.C.
601–612), the FHWA has evaluated the
effects of this action on small entities
and has determined that the action
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. ‘‘Small entities’’ include small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations under 50,000. This
action does not affect any funding
distributed under any of the programs
administered by FHWA. For these
reasons, FHWA certifies that this action
would not have a significant economic
PO 00000
Frm 00050

impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
This rule would not impose unfunded
mandates as defined by the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104–4, 109 Stat. 48). This rule would
not result in the expenditure by State,
local, and Tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector, of
$148.1 million or more in any one year
(2 U.S.C. 1532).
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism
Assessment)
This action has been analyzed in
accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13132, and FHWA has determined that
this action would not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism assessment.
The FHWA has also determined that
this action would not preempt any State
law or State regulation or affect the
States’ ability to discharge traditional
State governmental functions.
Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects)
We have analyzed this action under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use, dated May 18,
2001. We have determined that it is not
a significant energy action under that
order since it is not likely to have a
significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. Therefore,
a Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.
Executive Order 12372
(Intergovernmental Review)
Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Program Number 20.205,
Highway Planning and Construction.
The regulations implementing Executive
Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on
Federal programs and activities apply to
this program.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget for
each collection of information they
conduct, sponsor, or require through
regulations. The FHWA has determined
that this rule does not contain collection
of information requirements for the
purposes of the PRA.

Reform)
This action meets applicable
standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice

burden.
Executive Order 13045 (Protection of

The FHWA has analyzed this rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. The FHWA certifies that this
action would not cause any
environmental risk to health or safety
that might disproportionately affect
children.
Executive Order 12630 (Taking of
Private Property)
The FHWA has analyzed this rule
under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interface
with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights. The FHWA does not anticipate
that this action would affect a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630.

Background
The NN consists of Interstate System routes (except exempted
routes) and those non-Interstate System routes added through the
rulemaking process. See 49 U.S.C. 31111(e)-(f) and 31113(e); 23 CFR
part 658 Appendix A; see also 49 FR 23302 (June, 5, 1984). To ensure
that the NN remains substantially intact, FHWA retains the authority to
rule upon all requests for additions to, and deletions from, the NN as
well as requests for the imposition of certain restrictions. Pursuant
to 23 CFR 658.11, requests for additions to the NN must be submitted in
writing to the appropriate FHWA Division Office and endorsed by the
Governor or the Governor's authorized representative. Proposals for
addition of routes to the NN must also be accompanied by an analysis of
suitability based on the criteria in 23 CFR 658.9. Once a non-
Interstate
[[Page 30334]]
System route is added to the NN, it is included in Appendix A of 23 CFR
part 658--National Network--Federally Designated Routes.
On November 10, 2017, FHWA received a request from the New York
State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) proposing a modification to
the Interstate System. The request, available in the rulemaking docket,
proposes the de-designation (removal from the Interstate System) of the
Sheridan Expressway (I-895), approximately a 1.3-mile Interstate
between the Bruckner Expressway (I-278) and the Cross Bronx Expressway
(I-95). As part of the de-designation, the State also proposes the
functional reclassification of this highway segment from an Interstate
to ``Urban Principal Arterial--Other'' and to rename the road Sheridan
Boulevard (NY-895). The physical alignment of the highway would be
maintained, and it would therefore continue to provide the same access
for commercial vehicles as currently exists. The FHWA intends to act on
this request pursuant to its regulatory authority on revisions to the
Interstate System (23 CFR 470.115(a) and 23 CFR 658.11(d)) and guidance
on Interstate System de-designations (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/interstate_highway_system/withdrawalqa.cfm).
The NYSDOT intends to keep Sheridan Boulevard (NY-895) in the NN.
Because the route would no longer be in the Interstate System, it must
be added to NN as a non-Interstate System route and be listed in 23 CFR
part 658 Appendix A. The NYSDOT proposal included the required analysis
of suitability based on the criteria in 23 CFR 658.9, which includes a
crash analysis and safety study, and also documents effects on
Interstate commerce, effects on alternate routes, effects on traffic
operations, and consultation with local governments.
The FHWA reviewed NYSDOT's proposal and affirms that the request to
add a route to the NN is consistent with 23 CFR 658.9 and 658.11 with
respect to the criteria for the NN and the procedures for additions to
the NN. The FHWA published a Notice of Proposal Rulemaking at 83 FR
15524 on April 11, 2018, proposing to approve the addition of Sheridan
Boulevard (NY 895) to the NN and to revise existing regulations (23 CFR
part 658 Appendix A) to reflect the addition. The FHWA did not receive
any comments to the NPRM and is adopting the changes as proposed.
Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
As the Sheridan Expressway is already part of the NN due to its
Interstate designation, FHWA has determined there would be no
substantive impact to the public resulting from the addition of the
reconstructed facility, Sheridan Boulevard, to the NN.
Executive Order 13771 (Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs), Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review),
Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), and
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). The FHWA
has determined that this action is not a significant regulatory action
within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 and is not significant
within the meaning of DOT regulatory policies and procedures. Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
It is anticipated that the economic impact of this rulemaking would be
minimal. These changes would not adversely affect, in a material way,
any sector of the economy. In addition, these changes would not
interfere with any action taken or planned by another agency and would
not materially alter the budgetary impact of any entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs. Consequently, a full regulatory evaluation
is not required. Finally, this rule is not an E.O. 13771 regulatory
action because it is not significant under E.O. 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
In compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354,
5 U.S.C. 601-612), the FHWA has evaluated the effects of this action on
small entities and has determined that the action would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
``Small entities'' include small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations under 50,000. This action does not affect any funding
distributed under any of the programs administered by FHWA. For these
reasons, FHWA certifies that this action would not have a significant
