50270 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 30, 2009 / Notices 

alleviate current and potential 

environmental impacts and hazards 

associated with traffic congestion at 

existing at-grade crossings along an 

approximately 5-mile long segment of 

the Burlington Northern Santa Fe 

(BNSF) railroad tracks in the Cities of 

Placentia and Anaheim and 

unincorporated Orange County, in 

Orange County, California. The OCG 

project will provide grade separations 

on eight local arterials at their crossings 

with the BNSF tracks. The OCG project 

is subject to federal, as well as City of 

Placentia and State, environmental 

review requirements because the City 

proposes the use of federal funds from 

FHWA. Project documentation, 

therefore, was prepared in compliance 

with both the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and the California 

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The 

FHWA project reference number is 

FHWA–EIS–CA21. The actions by the 

Federal agencies, and the laws under 

which such actions were taken, are 

described in the Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) for the project, 

approved on June 30, 2009 in the FHWA 

Record of Decision (ROD) issued on 

September 23, 2009, and in other 

documents in the FHWA project 

records. The FEIS, ROD, and other 

project records are available by 

contacting FHWA or the City of 

Placentia at the addresses provided 

above. Pending federal actions for the 

project are: 

• United States Army Corps of 

Engineers 404 permit under the 

Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). 

• 401 Water Quality Certification from 

the Regional Water Quality Control 

Board under Section 401 permit of the 

Federal CWA. 

This notice applies to all Federal 

agency decisions as of the issuance date 

of this notice and all laws under which 

such actions were taken, including but 

not limited to: 

1. Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations. 

2. National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). 

3. Department of Transportation Act of 

1966.

High-Speed Passenger Rail Safety 

Strategy; Highway-Rail Grade Crossing 

Guidelines for High-Speed Passenger 

Rail: Creation of Docket 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On June 17, 2009, FRA issued 

a Notice of Funding Availability and 

Interim Program Guidance detailing the 

application requirements for obtaining 

funding for high-speed rail projects 

under the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the 

Department of Transportation 

Appropriations Acts for fiscal year (FY) 

2008 and FY 2009. The Notice and 

Interim Guidance was published in the 

Federal Register on June 23, 2009. FRA 

is currently evaluating grant 

applications submitted in the first round 

of the application process, in 

accordance with evaluation criteria 

included in the Interim Guidance. FRA 

will also develop high-speed passenger 

rail (HSPR) safety strategy and highwayrail grade crossing guidelines for HSPR 

as part of a plan to address the Nation’s 

transportation challenges by investing 

in an efficient, high-speed passenger rail 

network of 100-mile to 600-mile 

intercity corridors that connect 

communities across America. 

To date, FRA has received more than 

30 comments on its HSPR Safety 

Strategy and Grade Crossing Guidelines, 

and FRA anticipates that the current 

high level of interest in high-speed rail 

projects will continue. For this reason, 

FRA is creating a combined docket for 

comments on the HSPR Safety Strategy 

and Grade Crossing Guidelines. FRA 

will place previously published 

documents and previously received 

comments in this docket to make these 

materials available to the public. This 

docket will be kept open indefinitely, 

since FRA is interested in receiving 

comments from all interested parties. 

Comments filed as soon as practicable 

will be of the greatest use.
