80888 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 240 / Monday, December 14, 2020 / Notices 

announce this proposed information 

collection on June 10, 2020. The agency 

received four total comments, three 

unique comments and one duplicated 

comment, in response to this notice. 

The three comments received in 

response to the 60-day notice were from 

the following persons and organizations: 

1. National School Transportation 

Association (NSTA) 

2. Texas Trucking Association (TXTA) 

3. Commercial Vehicle Training 

Association (CVTA) 

The comment from NSTA was posted 

twice, but was the same comment. 

NSTA was supportive of the 

information collection request and felt 

that it was necessary and important 

information to collect, not only due to 

FAST Act requirements but also in light 

of the ongoing COVID–19 situation, 

which has impacted SDLAs and their 

operating statuses, as well as many 

other aspects of the transportation 

sector. NSTA made several 

recommendations regarding issuances of 

CDLs for school bus drivers and 

inspections for school bus drivers that 

are outside the scope of this information 

collection request. These comments 

have been passed on to the appropriate 

parties in FMCSA, but did not result in 

any changes to the proposed 

information collection contained in this 

request. 

Similarly, TXTA made several 

comments regarding the actual licensing 

procedures and policies within Texas, 

which are outside the scope of this 

information collection. These comments 

have been passed on to the appropriate 

parties in FMCSA, but did not result in 

any changes to the proposed 

information collection contained in this 

request. 

CVTA was supportive of the 

information collection request itself but 

made several suggestions for 

improvement. First, CVTA suggested 

that FMCSA require States to respond to 

the survey. Furthermore, CVTA felt that 

FMCSA’s analysis of the collected data 

was lacking and expressed concern with 

the definition of delays and wait times 

used by FMCSA in the original analysis. 

CVTA noted in their comment that they 

felt this was a failure of FMCSA to meet 

the requirements of the FAST Act 

statute. FMCSA does not have the 

authority to compel States to respond to 

the survey and re-asserts that responses 

to the survey must be voluntary. The 

prior survey received at least partial 

responses from the majority of States. 

FMCSA successfully delivered the 2017 

report to Congress, which the Agency 

understood to fulfill the intent behind 

Section 5506 of the FAST Act. FMCSA 

did not make any changes to the 

proposed information collection as a 

result of this comment, which largely 

focused on the reporting out of results 

from the information collection as 

opposed to the collection of information 

itself. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FMCSA to perform its 

functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the 

FMCSA to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the collected 

information; and (4) ways that the 

burden could be minimized without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information.

BILLING CODE 4910–EX–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Final Agency Actions on 

Proposed Railroad Project in 

California, on Behalf of the California 

High-Speed Rail Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FRA, on behalf of the 

Authority, is issuing this notice to 

announce actions taken by the 

Authority that are final. By this notice, 

the FRA is advising the public of the 

time limit to file a claim seeking judicial 

review of the actions. The actions relate 

to a proposed railroad project, the 

California High-Speed Rail Project 

Merced to Fresno Project Section: 

Central Valley Wye in Merced, Madera, 

Fresno, and Stanislaus Counties, 

California. The Merced to Fresno Project 

Section: Central Valley Wye provides an 

approximately 51-mile portion of the 

larger 800-mile California High-Speed 

Rail (HSR) system planned throughout 

California. These actions grant 

approvals for project implementation 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and other laws, 

regulations, and executive orders. 

DATES: A claim seeking judicial review 

of the agency actions on the railroad 

project will be barred unless the claim 

is filed on or before January 14, 2022. 

If Federal law authorizes judicial review 

of a claim that provides a time period 

of less than two years for filing such 

claim, then that shorter time period 

applies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

For the Authority: Dan McKell, NEPA 

Assignment Manager, Environmental 

Services, California High-Speed Rail 

Authority, (telephone: 916–324–1541; 

email: dan.mckell@hsr.ca.gov). 

For FRA: Stephanie Perez-Arrieta, 

Lead Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Federal Railroad 

Administration, (telephone: 202–493– 

0388; email: s.perez-arrieta@dot.gov). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: bEffective 

July 23, 2019, FRA assigned, and the 

State of California acting through the 

Authority assumed, its responsibilities 

for environmental review, consultation, 

and other actions required by applicable 

Federal environmental laws for this 

project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Authority has taken final agency actions 

subject to 49 U.S.C. 24201(a)(4) and 23 

U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing approvals for 

the following railroad project in 

California: California High-Speed Rail 

Project Merced to Fresno Project 

Section: Central Valley Wye. 

The purpose of the California HSR 

System is to provide a reliable highspeed electric-powered train system that 

links the major metropolitan areas of 

California, delivering predictable and 

consistent travel times. A further 

objective is to provide an interface with 

commercial airports, mass transit, and 

the highway network and to relieve 

capacity constraints of the existing 

transportation system as increases in 

intercity travel demand in California 

occur, in a manner sensitive to and 

protective of California’s unique natural 

resources. 

The FRA and the Authority published 

the Merced to Fresno Section Final 

Project Environmental Impact Report/ 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/ 

EIS) in April 2012. The FRA issued a 

Record of Decision (ROD) for the 

Merced to Fresno Project Section on 

September 18, 2012. The FRA’s 2012 

ROD deferred identification of a 

selected alternative for the Central 

Valley Wye. The Authority published 

the Merced to Fresno Section: Central 

Valley Wye Final Supplemental EIR/EIS 

(Final Supplemental EIR/EIS) on August 

7, 2020. The Final Supplemental EIR/ 

EIS was prepared as a supplement to the 

2012 EIR/EIS for the Merced to Fresno 

Project Section. The Authority approved 

a Supplemental ROD for the Central 

Valley Wye portion of the Merced to 

Fresno Project Section on September 16, 

2020. The Supplemental ROD is a 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 240 / Monday, December 14, 2020 / Notices 80889 

supplement to FRA’s 2012 ROD for the 

Merced to Fresno Project Section. The 

Supplemental ROD does not change any 

determinations made in FRA’s 2012 

ROD for the Merced to Fresno Project 

Section. 

In the Supplemental ROD, the 

Authority selected the State Route (SR) 

152 (North) to Road 11 Wye Alternative, 

identified in the Final Supplemental 

EIR/EIS, for the Central Valley Wye 

portion of the Merced to Fresno Project 

Section. The selected alternative is 

located west-southwest of the city of 

Chowchilla with the east-west axis 

along the north side of SR 152 and the 

north-south axis on the east side of Road 

11. As part of the California HSR 

System, the selected alternative will 

provide the public with electricpowered HSR service that provides 

predictable and consistent travel times 

between major urban centers and 

connectivity to airports, mass transit, 

and the highway network in the north 

San Joaquin Valley, and that connects 

the system in the Central Valley to 

system facilities in the San Francisco 

Bay Area. The Authority selected this 

alternative because: (1) It best satisfies 

the Purpose, Need, and Objectives for 

the proposed action; and (2) it 

minimizes impacts on the natural and 

human environment by utilizing an 

existing transportation corridor where 

practicable and incorporating mitigation 

measures. 

This conclusion does not alter, affect 

or change FRA’s conclusions and 

decision in the 2012 Record of Decision 

(ROD) on the Merced to Fresno Final 

Environmental Impact Report/ 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

The actions by the Authority, and the 

laws under which such actions were 

taken, are described in the 

Supplemental ROD and Final 

Supplemental EIR/EIS. The 

Supplemental ROD, the Final 

Supplemental EIR/EIS, and other 

documents are available online in PDF 

format at the Authority website: 

www.hsr.ca.gov, and copies may be 

requested by contacting the Authority at 

the address above or by calling (916) 

324–1541. 

This notice applies to the 

Supplemental ROD, the Final 

Supplemental EIR/EIS, and all other 

Federal agency decisions with respect to 

the project as of the issuance date of this 

notice and all laws under which such 

actions were taken, including but not 

limited to:
