ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that we are
rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) for
a highway project that was proposed to
improve access to and from the
Spaulding Turnpike (NH Route 16) to
the tri-city areas of Dover, Somersworth
and Rochester (Exit 10) in New
Hampshire. The NOI was published in
the Federal Register on June 5, 1995,
with the intent to publish a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement. This
rescission is based on a lack of available
funding and project support within the
New Hampshire State Transportation
Improvement Plan (STIP) for the project,
as originally proposed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The FHWA,
in cooperation with the New Hampshire
Department of Transportation (NHDOT),
is rescinding the NOI for a proposal to
improve access to and from the
Spaulding Turnpike (NH Route 16) to
the tri-city areas of Dover, Somersworth
and Rochester (Exit 10) in New
Hampshire. The NOI is being rescinded
in large part due to funding constraints,
which led to a reduction of scope to
focus on the upgrade of NH Route 108
between the Cities of Dover and
Rochester through the City of
Somersworth. The current proposed
actions would improve the capacity
along NH Rte. 108 and incorporate
community multi transportation needs
(bicycle, pedestrian and public transit)
within this section of these seacoast
communities. NHDOT has recently
solicited and engaged a consultant to
complete design and environmental
services to address the upgrade along
NH Rte. 108. Through this process,
NHDOT will enter into an expanded
public outreach to solicit community
input on the smaller scope ‘‘Complete
Street Improvements’’ project through
the Department’s Project Development
process. Given the reduction in scope
and the associated potential impacts of
the proposed action, FHWA intends to
prepare a lower-level NEPA document
to determine if the project has the
potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment. If, at
a future time, FHWA determines that
the proposed action is likely to have a
significant impact on the environment,
a new NOI to prepare an EIS will be
published.

[Docket No. FMCSA–2017–0319]
Parts and Accessories Necessary for
Safe Operation; Agricultural and Food
Transporters Conference of American
Trucking Associations Application for
Exemption
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant
of application for exemption.
AGENCY:
The Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA)
announces its decision to grant a limited
5-year exemption to the Agricultural
and Food Transporters Conference
(AFTC) of American Trucking
Associations (ATA) to allow certain
alternate methods for the securement of
agricultural commodities transported in
wood and plastic boxes and bins and
large fiberglass tubs, as well as hay,
straw, and cotton bales that are grouped
together into large singular units. The
Agency has determined that the use of
certain alternate cargo securement
methods will likely maintain a level of
safety that is equivalent to, or greater
than the level of safety achieved without
the exemption. This conclusion is based
on the results of a comprehensive test
program conducted by FMCSA in
collaboration with the California
Highway Patrol (CHP), the California
Department of Food and Agriculture
and the California Trucking Association.
DATES: This exemption is effective April
15, 2019 and ending April 15, 2024.
