AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

49 U.S.C. 14701 note. 

PURPOSE(S): 

The major goal of NCCDB is to meet 

the requirements set forth in section 

4214, Public Law 109–59, 119 Stat. 

1144, 1759–1760, codified at 49 U.S.C. 

14701 note, the Safe, Accountable 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU), 

which requires FMCSA to establish: 

1. A system, database, and procedures 

for filing and logging consumer 

complaints relating to household goods 

motor carriers for the purpose of 

compiling or linking complaint 

information gathered by FMCSA and the 

States with regard to such carriers. 

2. Procedures to allow the public to 

have access, subject to 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 

to aggregated complaint information and 

a process for carriers to challenge 

duplicate or fraudulent information in 

the database. 

NCCDB is capable of recording the 

following types of complaints: 

1. Safety Violation Complaints— 

Consumers, commercial motor vehicle 

drivers, and others can report violations 

of Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations (FMCSRs). 

2. Household Goods (HHG) 

Complaints—Consumers can report 

complaints related to the contracting 

and moving of HHG. 

3. Hazardous Materials and Cargo 

Tank Complaint—Consumers can report 

complaints related to Hazardous 

Materials and Cargo Tank. 

The data collected by NCCDB can be 

used by FMCSA to identify problematic 

motor carriers in order to take 

enforcement actions and to promote 

compliance with FMCSRs. The NCCDB 

can also be used to alert consumers of 

those motor carriers with a history of 

complaints related to transporting HHG 

and to provide guidance to the public 

on how to avoid being victimized by 

unscrupulous moving companies. 

Motor carriers can use NCCDB to 

assist with complaint reconciliation. 

After being informed of a complaint, the 

respondent is encouraged to resolve the 

complaint with the complainant. 

ROUTINE FUNCTION OF SYSTEM RECORDS

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Multiple Counties, New York, and New 

Jersey 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), USDOT. 

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) and the Port 

Authority of New York and New Jersey 

(PANYNJ) are issuing this Revised 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to advise the 

public of modifications to the 

environmental review process for the 

Cross Harbor Freight Movement 

Program (Project Identification Number: 

X500.19). These revisions include a 

change in project sponsorship to the 

PANYNJ, the intent of FHWA and 

PANYNJ to use a tiered process to 

facilitate project decision-making, and 

the intent of FHWA and PANYNJ to 

utilize the environmental review 

provisions afforded under Section 6002 

of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU). This 

notice revises the NOI that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 7, 2001. 

The greater New York/New Jersey 

region is the financial center of the U.S. 

economy and the nation’s largest 

consumer market. The regional 

economy relies on a goods movement 

system overwhelmingly dependent on 

trucking and an aging and congested 

highway network. Regional forecasts of 

truck growth vary depending on the 

source, year, and geography, but 

available sources agree that truck 

tonnage is anticipated to increase 

substantially, with some forecasts 

calling for a 36% increase in tonnage by 

2035. In the absence of network or 

system improvements, this growth and 

the region’s dependence on trucking for 

freight distribution will result in serious 

regional highway congestion and 

extended travel delays—a trend which 

could threaten the economic vitality of 

the greater New York/New Jersey region. 

The EIS will analyze alternatives that 

would provide short-term and long-term 

strategies for improving the regional 

freight network, reducing traffic 

congestion, enhancing modal diversity 

and system redundancy, improving air 

quality, and providing economic 

benefits. The FHWA and PANYNJ are 

serving as joint-lead agencies for the 

preparation of the EIS and are issuing 

this notice to solicit public and agency 

input into the scope of the EIS and to 

advise the public that outreach activities 

will be conducted by FHWA and 

PANYNJ. New York State and New 

Jersey Departments of Transportation 

(NYSDOT and NJDOT) are serving as 

cooperating agencies for the preparation 

of the EIS. 

The EIS analyses will be conducted 

using ‘‘tiering,’’ as described in 40 CFR 

1508.28, which is a staged process 

applied to the environmental review of 

complex projects. Tier I of the EIS will 

allow the agencies to focus on general 

transportation modes and alignments for 

the proposed project, including logical
