no substantial changes in the operations 

of all six (6) pipelines than those 

originally authorized and further stated 

that the future operation of the pipelines 

will remain essentially unchanged from 

that previously permitted. Therefore, in 

accordance with 22 CFR 161.7(b)(3) and 

the Department’s Procedures for 

Issuance of a Presidential Permit Where 

There Has Been a Transfer of the 

Underlying Facility, Bridge or Border 

Crossing for Land Transportation (70 FR 

30990, May 31, 2005), the Department of 

State does not intend to conduct an 

environmental review of the application 

unless information is brought to its 

attention that the transfer potentially 

would have a significant impact on the 

quality of the human environment. 

As required by E.O. 13337, the 

Department of State is circulating this 

application to concerned Federal 

agencies for comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Highways for LIFE Omnibus 

Survey for Technology Deployment. 

Background: The Highways for LIFE 

program was established by the 109th 

Congress within Sections 1101 and 1502 

of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy for Users (Pub. L. 109–59). 

Within that law, under the topic 

‘‘Technology Transfer and Information 

Dissemination,’’ it states that ‘‘The 

Secretary shall conduct a highways for 

life technology transfer program.’’ It 

further states that ‘‘The Secretary shall 

establish a process for stakeholder input 

and involvement in the development, 

implementation, and evaluation of the 

Highways for LIFE Pilot Program. The 

process may include participation by 

representatives of the State departments 

of transportation and other interested 

persons.’’ Also, it states that, ‘‘The 

Secretary shall monitor and evaluate the 

effectiveness of any activity carried out 

under this section.’’ 

A critical element in accomplishing 

these goals is to ensure that the 

technologies being deployed by FHWA 

and implemented by the States actually 

fill a specific need. Therefore, it is 

important that FHWA obtain feedback 

both before and after specific 

technologies are transferred. If, for 

example, FHWA determined on its own 

that a particular innovation was 

important, yet never actually 

determined whether States would value 

such an innovation, much time and 

money would have been wasted. Or, if 

there were an innovation that was 

deployed to States, yet FHWA never 

followed up to determine if the effort 

was a success, or how it might be even 

more successful, lessons could not be 

learned and put into effect. 

In FHWA’s Strategic Plan, the first 

goal listed is ‘‘National Leadership.’’ 

Under that topic, the first objective is 

‘‘Advance Innovation: FHWA is 

recognized as a leader in the 

development and promotion of 

innovative solutions that address 

current and emerging transportation 

issues.’’ Item 1.1 is ‘‘Systematically 

identify emerging issues and needs that 

could impact transportation,’’ and item 

1.2 is ‘‘Identify, develop, promote, and 

rapidly implement new and proven 

technologies and innovative solutions to 

improve system performance.’’ These 

‘‘innovative solutions’’ cannot properly 

identify what might work without 

discussing the needs for such things 

with the user groups—the States. 

Likewise, it cannot promote and 

implement them without an appropriate 

understanding of how the user 

organizations—the States—feel about 

the particular innovations; and this can 

only come from a formal survey. 

Respondents: There are 260 

respondents, including 5 each from 50 

State Transportation Departments, the 

District of Columbia, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: Once a year, for three 

years. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each survey will require 15 

minutes to respond. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 65 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the U.S. 

DOT’s performance, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of the U.S. 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, 

and clarity of the collected information; 

and (4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Experiments on Driving under 

Uncertain Congestion Conditions and 

the Effects on Traffic Networks from 

Congestion Pricing Initiatives. 

Background: The traditional way of 

financing the transportation system in 

the U.S. is currently being challenged 

and new revenue schemes are being 

evaluated for possible implementation. 

In addition, the growth in traffic volume 

overwhelms the ability to finance 

additional road capacity. Congestion 

pricing is gaining support across the 

world as a way to solve the congestion 

problem and thereby ease the 

congestion cost to the public and at the 

same time generate revenues that can be 

used to fund additional transportation 

capacity. While congestion pricing 

strategies have been implemented in 

several parts of the world, the 

implementation is still relatively limited 

in this country. 

This study will assess the responses 

to several congestion pricing schemes 

by asking volunteer participants to make 

driving choices under these schemes in 

an experiment. The study will present 

participants with a number of choice
