Background

The FHWA, in cooperation with the

Montana Department of Transportation

(MDT), will prepare an EIS to acquire

land, design, and construct a new or

improved US 89 between Browning,

Montana and the Hudson Bay Divide.

The EIS will examine the short and

long-term impacts on the natural and

physical environment. The impact

assessment will include, but not be

limited to, impacts on wetlands,

wildlife, and fisheries; social

environment; changes in land use;

aesthetics; changes in traffic; and

economic impacts. Environmental

Justice (as outlined in Executed Order

12898) will also be addressed as part of

the impact assessment. The EIS will also

examine measures to mitigate

significant adverse impacts resulting

from the proposed action.

Comments are being solicited from

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies and from private organizations

and citizens who have interest in this

proposal. Public information meetings

will be held in the project area to

discuss the potential alignments. The

draft EIS will be available for public and

agency review; and a public hearing will

be held to receive comments. Public

notice will be given of the time and

place of all meetings and hearings.

Comments and/or suggestions from all

interested parties are requested, to

ensure that the full range of all issues,

and significant environmental issues in

particular, are identified and reviewed.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and/or its EIS should

be directed to the FHWA or the MDT at

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

In accordance with Part 211 of Title

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),

notice is hereby given that the Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA) received

a request for a waiver of compliance

with certain requirements of its safety

standards. The individual petition is

described below, including the party

seeking relief, the regulatory provisions

involved, the nature of the relief being

requested, and the petitioner’s

arguments in favor of relief.

Canadian Pacific Railway

(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–

1999–6639)

Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) is

seeking a permanent waiver of

compliance with the Railroad Freight

Car Safety Standards, 49 CFR 215.3(c)(3)

and 215.305. Section 215.3(c)(3)

excludes maintenance of way

equipment from compliance with

Section 215 when it is not used in

revenue service and is stenciled in

accordance with § 215.305 of this part.

Title 49 CFR 215.305 requires that

maintenance of way equipment be

stenciled with the letters ‘‘MW’’ in

clearly legible print at least 2 inches in

height on each side of the car. CPR

states that § 19.1 of the Canadian rules

excludes maintenance of way

equipment when stenciled with the

letters ‘‘RSE.’’

CPR and its subsidiaries, Delaware

and Hudson and Soo Line, request a

permanent waiver to allow CPR marked

service equipment to be excluded from

the requirements of Part 215.

CPR claims that this request is issued

to harmonize the enforcement

differences in these regulations, as

contemplated by the NAFTA Trade

Agreement, and they further claim that

stenciling these cars to comply with

FRA requirements would present an

undue financial burden and impede

transportation opportunities between

the respective countries.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in these proceedings by

submitting written views, data, or

comments. FRA does not anticipate

scheduling a public hearing in

connection with these proceedings since
