ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), on behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) as the federal lead agency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment (July 2019), is issuing this notice to advise other federal, state, local, and tribal agencies and the public that the Authority intends to revise the scope of the analysis of the combined projectlevel Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and project-level Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section of the Authority’s proposed California HighSpeed Rail (HSR) System from the Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) in the City of Los Angeles, California, to the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) in the City of Anaheim, California, in compliance with relevant state and federal laws, in particular the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and NEPA. Since publication of the notice of intent (NOI), the Authority has identified the proposed BNSF Colton Intermodal Facility Component (Colton Component) and BNSF Lenwood Staging Track Component (Lenwood Component) as necessary components of the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section of the HSR system. This Revised NOI is being issued to solicit additional public and agency input into the development of the scope of the EIR/EIS for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section with respect to the Colton and Lenwood Components. Public input received during outreach activities conducted by the Authority and its representatives will be considered in the preparation of the combined EIR/EIS.

Public scoping meetings are scheduled for the following dates and times. The Authority expects these meetings to occur via webinar or other virtualonly mechanism (please consult www.hsr.ca.gov for up-to-date information).

Comments may also be provided orally via the public scoping meetings described above. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For the Authority: Mark A. McLoughlin, Director of Environmental Services, California High-Speed Rail Authority, (telephone: 916–403–6934; email: mark.mcloughlin@hsr.ca.gov). For FRA: Stephanie B. Perez-Arrieta, Regional Lead, Environmental Protection Specialist, Federal Railroad Administration, (telephone: 202–493– 0388; email: s.perez-arrieta@dot.gov). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Authority was established by the California State Legislature in 1996 and is authorized and directed by statute to undertake the planning for the development of a proposed statewide HSR network that is fully coordinated with other public transportation services. In 2005, the Authority and FRA completed a Final Program EIR/EIS for the Proposed California High-Speed Train System (statewide program EIR/ EIS), as a first-tier environmental document. The Statewide Program EIR/ EIS established the purpose and need for the HSR system, analyzed a HSR alternative, and compared it with a No Project Alternative and a modal alternative that involved expanding airports, freeways, and conventional rail PO 00000 Frm 00107 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 to meet the state’s future transportation needs. The Authority certified the Statewide Program EIR under CEQA and approved the proposed HSR system, and FRA issued a Record of Decision under NEPA for the statewide program EIS. The Authority and FRA made the following first-tier programmatic decisions: Selected the HSR alternative for intercity passenger travel in California between the major metropolitan centers of Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area in the north, through the Central Valley, to the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego in the south; selected very high-speed, electrified steel-wheel-on-steel-rail technology; selected certain general alignment corridors and general station locations to be studied in more detail in second-tier environmental documents, including a corridor between LAUS and ARTIC; and adopted programmatic mitigation strategies and design practices. This EIR/EIS is one of a number of second-tier environmental documents for sections of the HSR system. It is tiered from and incorporates by reference the statewide program EIR/EIS in accordance with Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR 1508.28) and State of California CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, 15168[b]). Tiering ensures that the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section EIR/EIS builds upon all previous work prepared for and incorporated in the statewide program EIR/EIS. The Authority and FRA previously conducted scoping for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section EIR/EIS in the spring of 2007. FRA published an NOI in the Federal Register on March 15, 2007 (72 FR 12250). Since publication of the NOI, the Authority has identified the proposed BNSF Colton Intermodal Facility Component (Colton Component) and BNSF Lenwood Staging Track Component (Lenwood Component) as necessary components of the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section of the HSR system. This Revised NOI is being issued to solicit additional public and agency input into the development of the scope of the EIR/EIS for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section with respect to the Colton and Lenwood Components. Public input received during outreach activities conducted by the Authority and its representatives will be considered in the preparation of the combined EIR/EIS. The 2007 scoping and environmental development process remains valid; information learned in and since 2007 will be used, supplemented by E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM 25AUN1
