capacity for additional CCR storage 

onsite and will need to consider 

additional options for storage. TVA has 

further determined that either the 

construction of a new CCR storage area 

or hauling CCR to an existing permitted 

landfill are the most reasonable 

alternatives. Alternative site locations 

for a CCR storage suitable for meeting 

TVA’s needs and objectives will also be 

considered. However, based on 

preliminary analysis there are unlikely 

to be any other alternatives that have 

fewer impacts than the proposed 

location adjacent to BRF. Additionally, 

the EIS will consider a ‘‘No Action’’ 

Alternative under which TVA would 

not seek additional storage capacity for 

CCR from BRF. 

No decision has been made about CCR 

disposal beyond the current available 

onsite capacity. TVA is preparing this 

EIS to inform decision makers, other 

agencies, and the public about the 

potential for environmental impacts 

associated with a decision to dispose of 

CCR generated from BRF. The draft EIS 

will be made available for public 

comment. In making its final decision, 

TVA will consider the analyses in this 

EIS and substantive comments that it 

receives. A final decision on proceeding 

with construction and operation will 

depend on a number of factors, 

including the results of the EIS, 

engineering and risk evaluations, and 

financial considerations. 

Preliminary Identification of 

Environmental Issues 

This EIS will analyze potential 

impacts on the quality of the human and 

natural environment resulting from 

disposal of CCRs through the 

construction and operation of a new 

CCR storage area, utilizing existing 

permitted sites, and other reasonable 

alternatives. The impact analyses will 

include, but are not necessarily limited 

to: 

• Water resources (surface water, 

groundwater quality, and use); 

• vegetation; 

• wildlife; 

• aquatic ecology; 

• endangered and threatened species; 

• floodplains and wetlands; 

• geology; 

• land use; 

• transportation; 

• recreational and managed areas; 

• visual resources; 

• archaeological and historic 

resources; 

• solid and hazardous waste; 

• public health and safety; 

• noise; 

• air quality and climate change; and 

• socioeconomics and environmental 

justice. 

These and other important issues 

identified during the scoping process 

will be addressed as appropriate in the 

EIS. 

Public Participation 

This EIS is being prepared to provide 

the public an opportunity to comment 

on TVA’s assessment of the potential 

environmental impacts of constructing 

and operating a new CCR storage area or 

utilizing an existing permitted site for 

the disposal of CCR from BRF. 

Applicable regulations require an early 

and open process for deciding what 

should be discussed in an EIS. Known 

as ‘‘scoping,’’ this process involves 

requesting and using comments from 

the public, interested agencies, and 

recognized Native American tribes to 

help identify the issues and alternatives 

that should be addressed in the EIS, as 

well as the temporal and geographic 

coverage of the analyses. 

The public is invited to submit 

comments on the scope of this EIS no 

later than the date given under the 

DATES section of this notice. Any 

comments received, including names 

and addresses, will become part of the 

administrative record and will be 

available for public inspection. 

After consideration of the comments 

received during this scoping period, 

TVA will develop and distribute a 

document that will summarize public 

and agency comments that were 

received and identify the issues and 

alternatives to be addressed in the EIS 

and identify the schedule for 

completing the EIS process. Following 

analysis of the issues, TVA will prepare 

a draft EIS for public review and 

comment. Notice of availability of the 

draft EIS will be published by the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency in the 

Federal Register. The public, 

governmental agencies, and recognized 

Native American tribes will be invited 

to submit comments on the draft EIS. 

TVA expects to release a draft EIS in 

Summer 2016 and the final EIS is 

expected to be issued in 2017.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket No. FRA–2012–0033] 

Notice of Intent to Grant a Buy America 

Waiver to the Long Island Rail Road for 

the Purchase of Seven U.S.-Made 

Turnouts Containing Four NonDomestic Components 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), United States 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant Buy 

America waiver. 

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that it intends to grant 

the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), a 

subsidiary of the Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority, a waiver from 

FRA’s Buy America requirement under 

49 U.S.C. 24405(a)(2)(B) for the 

purchase of seven (7) turnouts 

manufactured by VAE Nortrak North 

America, Inc. at its plant in 

Birmingham, Alabama, for use in the 

LIRR North East Corridor Congestion 

Relief Project at Harold Interlocking. 

The turnouts will contain four 

components (ZU1–60 steel left and right 

switch point rail sections and Schwihag 

roller assemblies and plates) not 

produced in the U.S. The roller 

assemblies and plates are manufactured 

in Switzerland, and the ZUl-60 steel 

switch point rail sections are 

manufactured in Austria. The foreign 

material comprises approximately 11.9 

percent of the turnouts’ $3.1 million 

cost or approximately $367,000. FRA 

believes a waiver is appropriate under 

49 U.S.C. 24405(a)(2)(B) for the ZUI–60 

steel switch point rail sections and 

roller assemblies and plates because 

domestically-produced components 

meeting the specific needs of LIRR are 

not currently ‘‘produced in sufficient 

and reasonably available amount or are 

not of a satisfactory quality.’’ 

DATES: Written comments on FRA’s 

determination to grant LIRR’s Buy 

America waiver request should be 

provided to the FRA on or before May 

26, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit your 

comments by one of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The letter granting LIRR’s request is 

quoted below: 

Mr. Carl Cipriano 

Manager-Procurement East Side Access 

Long Island Rail Road 

90–27 Sutphin Boulevard 

3 Floor, MC 0335 

Jamaica, NY 11435 

Re: Request for Waiver of Buy America 

Requirement 

Dear Mr. Cipriano: 

As you are aware, on August 21, 2014, 

the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) 

requested a waiver from FRA’s Buy 

America requirement to purchase 

twenty-two (22) turnouts (Turnouts) 

manufactured by VAE Nortrak North 

America, Inc. (Nortrak) for use in the 

LIRR North East Corridor (NEC) 

Congestion Relief Project at Harold 

Interlocking (Harold Interlocking 

Project). 

In February 2015, LIRR withdrew its 

request for the full twenty-two (22) 

Turnouts and amended its request to 

only seven (7) Turnouts. Those 7 

Turnouts will be manufactured by 

Nortrak at its plant in Birmingham, 

Alabama, but will contain four 

components (ZU1–60 steel left and right 

switch point rail sections and Schwihag 

roller assemblies and plates) that are not 

produced in the U.S. Instead, the roller 

assemblies and plates are manufactured 

in Switzerland and the ZUl-60 steel 

switch point rail sections are 

manufactured in Austria. The foreign 

material comprises approximately 11.9 

percent of the Turnouts’ $3.1 million 

cost or approximately $367,000. 

LIRR amended its request because it 

determined that an alternative turnout 

design that Union Pacific railroad is 

using could potentially provide LIRR 

with a 100-percent FRA Buy America 

compliant turnout for future use at 

Harold Interlocking. However, LIRR 

asserts that an alternative design will 

require significant work before LIRR can 

integrate it into LIRR’s infrastructure, 

including use for Harold Interlocking. 

This work includes development of a 

new configuration; preparation of shop 

drawings; and preparation, review and
