27056 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 92 / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / Notices 

identify the transportation mode and 

alignment for the proposed project with 

the appropriate level of detail for 

corridor-level decisions, or select the No 

Action Alternative. The Tier I EIS will 

also include a discussion of measures 

that could be implemented to avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate potential adverse 

impacts of the build alternatives. These 

measures would be developed to 

mitigate both short-term (construction 

phase) and long-term (operational) 

adverse impacts of the proposed build 

alternatives. The mitigation strategies 

that will be examined will be designed 

to specifically minimize any potential 

adverse effects on the local communities 

where new or expanded infrastructure is 

proposed or where the operational 

effects of increased freight movement 

are expected. Tier II will then further 

explore the selected alternative in 

greater detail to evaluate regional and 

localized environmental impacts and 

outline site-specific mitigation measures 

in project-level environmental 

documentation. The PANYNJ and 

FHWA intend to engage the community 

in devising mitigation measures for 

potential adverse impacts at both tiers of 

the EIS. The scope of the Tier I and Tier 

II analyses will be commensurate with 

the level of detail necessary for those 

documents. Input from the public and 

from reviewing agencies will be 

solicited during both tiers. 

SAFETEA–LU: SAFETEA–LU 

provisions and NEPA regulations, in 

general, call for public involvement in 

the EIS process. Section 6002 of 

SAFETEA–LU requires that agencies: (1) 

Extend an invitation to other Federal 

and non-Federal agencies and Indian 

tribes that may have an interest in the 

proposed project to become 

‘‘participating agencies;’’ (2) provide an 

opportunity for involvement by 

participating agencies and the public in 

helping to define the purpose and need 

for the proposed project, as well as the 

range of alternatives for consideration in 

the impact statement; and (3) establish 

a plan for coordinating public and 

agency participation in and comments 

on the Scoping Document. Letters will 

be sent to any agency with a fiduciary, 

regulatory, or permitting authority over 

the program as an invitation to be part 

of the coordination process. Any 

interested Federal or non-Federal 

agency or Indian tribe that does not 

receive an invitation to become a 

participating agency can notify the 

contact persons listed above. 

A Coordination Plan will be 

developed to facilitate and document 

the lead agencies’ structured interaction 

with the public and other agencies, and 

to inform the public and other agencies 

of the manner in which the coordination 

will be accomplished. The Coordination 

Plan prepared for the Cross Harbor 

Freight Movement Program will 

include: The Plan Purpose and 

Identification of Lead Agencies; 

Program History; List of Participating 

and Coordinating Agencies; Roles and 

Responsibilities of the Lead, 

Participating, and Coordinating 

Agencies; Agency Contact Information; 

Coordination Points; and the Program 

Schedule. 

Comments or questions regarding this 

Notice of Intent should be directed to 

the FHWA or PANYNJ contacts 

identified above.
