compliant light rail vehicles. FRA 

compliant vehicles, which would 

include passenger coaches powered by 

diesel locomotives or diesel multiple 

units (DMUs), would operate on 

improved tracks in the HHPA Railroad 

right-of-way between Noblesville and 

approximately 10th Street in 

Indianapolis, then in the CSX Railroad 

right-of-way to Union Station. NonFRA-compliant DMU light rail vehicles 

would operate on improved tracks in 

the HHPA Railroad right-of-way 

between Noblesville and approximately 

10th Street in Indianapolis, then in the 

CSX Railroad right-of-way to Union 

Station. As an option for reaching a 

downtown transit center at or adjacent 

to Union Station, an alignment through 

the street network of downtown 

Indianapolis will be analyzed to avoid 

potential freight conflicts and to allow 

opportunities for additional stops in the 

core downtown employment district. 

Based on public and agency input 

received during scoping, variations of 

the above alternatives will be 

considered for the Northeast Corridor. 

IV. Potential Impacts for Analysis 

The scoping process will identify 

which of the following environmental 

impact areas are most relevant to the 

project, and merit further exploration in 

the AA/EIS. The impact areas include: 

land use, zoning, potential 

displacements, parkland, economic 

development, community disruptions, 

environmental justice, aesthetics, air 

quality, noise and vibration, wildlife, 

vegetation, threatened and endangered 

species, farmland, water quality, 

wetlands, waterways, floodplains, 

hazardous materials, and cultural, 

historic and archaeological resources. 

The AA/EIS will take into account 

both positive and negative impacts, 

direct and indirect impacts, short-term 

and long-term impacts and site specific 

and corridor wide impacts. Evaluation 

criteria will be consistent with all 

Federal, State, and local criteria, 

regulations and policies. The AA/EIS 

will identify measures to avoid or 

mitigate significant adverse 

environmental impacts. 

To ensure that all significant issues 

related to this proposed action are 

identified and addressed, scoping 

comments and suggestions are invited 

from all interested parties. 

The Public Involvement Program will 

include a full range of involvement 

activities. Activities will include 

outreach to local and regional officials 

and community and civic groups; a 

public scoping process to define the 

issues of concern among all parties 

interested in the project; organizing 

periodic meetings with various local 

agencies, organizations and committees; 

a public hearing on release of the DEIS; 

and development and distribution of 

project newsletters. There will be 

additional opportunities to participate 

in the scoping process in addition to the 

public meetings announced in this 

notice. Specific mechanisms for 

involvement will be detailed in the 

Public Involvement Program. 

V. Evaluation Criteria 

The Indianapolis MPO may seek New 

Starts funding for the proposed project 

under 49 U.S.C. 5309 and will therefore 

be subject to New Starts regulations (49 

CFR Part 611). The New Starts 

regulations require a planning 

Alternatives Analysis that leads to the 

selection of a locally preferred 

alternative and inclusion of the locally 

preferred alternative as part of the longrange transportation plan adopted by 

the Indianapolis MPO. The New Starts 

regulations also require the submission 

of certain project-justification 

information in support of a request to 

initiate preliminary engineering, which 

is normally developed in conjunction 

with the NEPA process. Pertinent New 

Starts evaluation criteria will be 

included in an appendix of the FEIS. 

VI. The EIS Process and the Role of 

Participating Agencies and the Public 

The regulations implementing NEPA, 

as well as provisions of the Safe, 

Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU), call for public 

involvement in the AA/EIS process. 

Section 6002 of SAFETEA–LU requires 

the following: (1) Extend an invitation 

to other Federal and non-Federal 

agencies and Native American 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 to 

help define the purpose and need for a 

proposed project, as well as the range of 

alternatives for consideration in the AA/ 

EIS; and (3) establish a plan for 

coordinating public and agency 

participation in, and comment on, the 

environmental review process. 

The AA/EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with NEPA and its 

implementing regulations issued by the 

Council on Environmental Quality (40 

CFR Parts 1500–1508) and with the 

FTA/Federal Highway Administration 

regulations ‘‘Environmental Impact and 

Related Procedures’’ (23 CFR Part 771). 

In accordance with 23 CFR 771.105(a) 

and 771.133, FTA will comply with all 

Federal environmental laws, 

regulations, and executive orders 

applicable to the proposed project 

during the environmental review 

process to the maximum extent 

practicable. These requirements 

include, but are not limited to, the 

environmental and public hearing 

provisions of Federal transit laws (49 

U.S.C. 5301(e), 5323(b), and 5324), the 

project-level air quality conformity 

regulation of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) (40 CFR part 

93), the section 404(b)(1) guidelines of 

EPA (40 CFR part 230), the regulation 

implementing section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act (36 

CFR part 800), the regulation 

implementing section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act (50 CFR part 

402), section 4(f) of the Department of 

Transportation Act (23 CFR 771.135), 

and Executive Orders 12898 on 

environmental justice, 11988 on 

floodplain management.
