rates that mobile telecommunications 

services suppliers in specific foreign 

markets charge U.S. suppliers that seek 

to supply international mobile roaming 

services to their U.S. customers; 

discriminatory procedures that foreign 

governments apply in allocating or 

allowing use of spectrum or other scarce 

resources; and the imposition by foreign

[Docket Number FRA–2010–0157] 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System 

Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and 49 

U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroad 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

for the discontinuance or modification 

of the signal system, as detailed below. 

Applicant: Twin Cities & Western 

Railroad Company, Mr. Mark Wegner, 

President, 2925 12th Street East, 

Glencoe, Minnesota 55336. 

The Twin Cities & Western Railroad 

Company (TC&W) seeks approval of the 

proposed modification of the 

interlocking at milepost 543.0, in 

Granite Falls, Minnesota. The 

modification consists of the movement 

of the west bound home signal, 98LA, 

to a point west of the west siding 

switch; the conversion of the west 

siding switch from push-button control 

to hand-operation; the discontinuance 

and removal of the 98LB signal; and the 

removal of the ‘‘B’’ head from the 98R 

signal. 

The reason given for the proposed 

change is to eliminate components that 

are not necessary for present day 

operations. 

Any interested party desiring to 

protest the granting of an application 

shall set forth specifically the grounds 

upon which the protest is made, and 

include a concise statement of the

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement, WIS 

47, Outagamie and Shawano Counties, 

Wisconsin 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for long-range 

transportation improvements in the WIS 

47 corridor in Outagamie and Shawano 

Counties, Wisconsin. The EIS is being 

prepared in conformance with 40 CFR 

part 1500 and FHWA regulations. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA), in cooperation with the 

Wisconsin Department of 

Transportation (WisDOT), will prepare a 

tiered Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) on long-range improvements to 

address transportation demand, traffic 

operations, safety concerns, and 

corridor preservation needs on an 

approximate 33-mile portion of WIS 47 

between U.S. 41 in Outagamie County 

and WIS 29 in Shawano County. The 

tiered EIS will evaluate the no build 

alternative and a range of short-term and 

long-term improvement alternatives. 

The tiered EIS will also serve as a 

corridor preservation tool for protecting 

the land needed for future 

transportation improvements and to 

assist local officials in making 

compatible land use decisions. More 

detailed Tier 2 environmental 

documents would be prepared for 

specific improvement projects when 

factors such as safety concerns, traffic 

volumes and existing deficiencies 

indicate the need for such 

improvements. 

Participation by the public, local 

officials, State and Federal regulatory 

agencies, Native American Tribes and 

other interests will be solicited through 

a stakeholder committee, public 

information meetings, agency 

coordination meetings, and a public 

hearing. Opportunities to be a 

participating and/or cooperating agency 

and to provide input on the project’s 

coordination plan and impact 

assessment methodology will also be 

provided under Section 6002 of the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU). 

This study shall comply with Title VI 

of the Civil Rights Act and of Executive 

Order 12898, which prohibits 

discrimination on the basis of race, 

color, age, sex, or country of national 

origin in the implementation of this 

action. To ensure that the full range of 

issues related to this proposed action is 

addressed, and all substantive issues are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action should be directed to 

FHWA or WisDOT at the addresses 

provided below (Catalog of Federal 

Domestic Assistance Program Number 

20.205, Highway Planning and 

Construction.)
