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.

**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
