Open Meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee on Insurance, 53904-53905 [2020-19055]

Download as PDF 53904 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 169 / Monday, August 31, 2020 / Notices Previous Studies Rapid transit has been discussed in Charlotte for decades, and in 1998, the City of Charlotte prepared the 2025 Integrated Transit/Land Use Plan. This was the original transit and land use plan that proposed using rapid transit to support focusing future growth in Charlotte’s key centers and corridors. The West Corridor (along Wilkinson Boulevard) and the Southeast Corridor (along Independence Boulevard) were two of the identified corridors. Since 1998, there have been various planning efforts, and the plan has since been updated to the 2030 Transit System Plan. In 2016, CATS completed the Southeast Corridor Transit Study, which considered various transit technologies and alignments. The MTC approved the recommendation of a light rail locally preferred alternative for the 13-mile Southeast Corridor from Center City Charlotte to the Mecklenburg and Union County border. The locally preferred alternative resulted from a detailed technical evaluation and outreach effort to the public and stakeholders. More recently, CATS studied various technology and alignment alternatives for the West Corridor and Center City as part of the LYNX System Update, and in February 2019, the MTC adopted a light rail locally preferred alternative for the West Corridor, and combined the West and Southeast Corridor locally preferred alternatives as one continuous 26-mile light rail corridor from Belmont to Matthews known as the LYNX Silver Line. An extension into Union County will also be evaluated, as directed by the MTC. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Purpose and Need for Action Previous planning analysis and discussions with stakeholders have helped to identify key transportation needs in the West and Southeast Corridors. These needs will be refined and detailed during planning and through environmental review, as analysis continues, and input is received from the public, stakeholders, and regulatory agencies. Initially, the key transportation concerns are continued population and employment growth in the Charlotte region, a congested roadway network with increased travel times, reduced reliability of the transportation system, and local goals to address equity concerns such as limited transportation options for transit-dependent populations, and inadequate connectivity between and access to transit, affordable housing, employment, VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:08 Aug 28, 2020 Jkt 250001 and community services by environmental justice populations. The preliminary purpose of the SLP is to provide high-capacity transit service in dedicated right-of-way along the US 74 (Wilkinson Boulevard), Cedar Street/ Graham Street, 11th Street, US 74 (Independence Boulevard), and Monroe Road transportation corridors that: • Provides a competitive and reliable alternative to automobiles; • Improves local connectivity between and access to transit, housing, employment, and community services in the corridor; • Promotes opportunities for development consistent with local vision, goals, plans, and policies; • Provides a transit system that is financially sustainable to build, operate, and maintain; and, • Preserves and protects the natural and built environment. Alternatives FTA and CATS are considering refinements to the light rail locally preferred alternative which came out of the Southeast Corridor Transit Study and the LYNX System Update, including shifts in alignment to address new opportunities and risks, and terminus options including an approximate two-mile extension into Union County. In addition to what is described above, other reasonable alternatives identified through the early scoping process will be considered for potential inclusion in the planning analysis. FTA Procedures Early scoping is an optional element of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process that is particularly useful in situations where, as here, alignment variations are under consideration in a broadly-defined study area. While NEPA scoping normally begins with issuance of a Notice of Intent which describes the proposed action, it ‘‘may be initiated earlier, as long as there is appropriate public notice and enough information available on the proposal so that the public and relevant agencies can participate effectively.’’ See the Council on Environmental Quality’s ‘‘Forty Most Asked Questions Concerning CEQ’s National Environmental Policy Act Regulations,’’ 46 FR 18026, 18030 (1981). In this case, the available information is more than adequate to permit the public and relevant agencies to participate effectively in early scoping and the planning analysis. Early scoping can also serve to link transportation planning and NEPA. CATS intends to formalize the Federal PO 00000 Frm 00119 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) process with the initiation of early scoping, so that the results of planning studies may be considered during the formal NEPA environmental review process. CATS may seek New Starts funding for the proposed project under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 5309 and will, therefore, be subject to New Starts regulation (49 CFR part 611). The New Starts regulation requires a planning analysis that leads to the selection of a locally preferred alternative by CATS and the inclusion of the locally preferred alternative in the long-range transportation plan adopted by MPOs. The planning analysis will examine alignments, station locations, costs, funding, ridership, economic development, land use, engineering feasibility, and environmental factors in the study area. The New Starts regulation also requires the submission of certain project-justification information in support of a request to initiate the engineering phase. Authority: 49 CFR 622.101, 23 CFR 771.111, and 40 CFR 1501.7. Yvette Taylor, Regional Administrator.
