Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 101 / Friday, May 24, 2013 / Notices 31627 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for to renew an information 

collection. Feedback from surveys to be 

conducted under this generic 

information collection will be used in 

the prevention of runway collisions and 

in the medication of the severity and 

frequency of runway incursions. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by July 23, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Ms. Kathy 

DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation 

Administration, AES–200, 6500 S. 

MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 

73169. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954–9362, or by 

email at: Kathy.A.DePaepe@faa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0692 

Title: Information for the Prevention 

of Aircraft Collisions on Runways at 

Towered Airports 

Form Numbers: There are no FAA 

forms associated with this generic 

collection of information. 

Type of Review: Renewal of a generic 

information collection. 

Background: Information to be 

collected will focus on pilot, controller, 

or vehicle driver practices and/or 

feedback on specific runway safety 

initiatives, such as training programs, 

Runway Safety Action Team meetings, 

changes to procedures, changes to 

infrastructure made to enhance runway 

safety (such as changes to paint, signs, 

lights, and markings), or aspects of 

airport design. Feedback gathered on the 

perceived effectiveness of specific 

strategies to prevent runway incursions 

will be used by the FAA to refine 

current intervention strategies and to 

develop new strategies to help reduce 

the severity and frequency of runway 

incursions. 

Respondents: An estimated 8,900 

pilots, aircraft support vehicle drivers, 

airport/airfield maintenance staff, 

management, and other personnel 

engaged in the operations of aircraft or 

airports. 

Frequency: Information will be 

collected on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 10 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,480 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Milwaukee, WI to Minneapolis, MN 

Rail Corridor 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Revised notice of intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement. 

SUMMARY: On December 9, 2010, FRA 

published a notice of intent to advise 

the public that a Tier I environmental 

impact statement (EIS) would be 

prepared for the Milwaukee, WI to 

Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN (MilwaukeeTwin Cities) High-Speed Rail Corridor 

Program. The original project included 

passenger stations, maintenance 

facilities, and the construction of a highspeed rail line between Milwaukee and 

the Twin Cities. Alternatives originally 

under consideration included taking no 

action (No Build), as well as several 

build alternatives along a variety of 

corridors between Milwaukee and the 

Twin Cities. However, to prioritize the 

limited funding available for the EIS, 

the Minnesota Department of 

Transportation (MnDOT) now intends to 

focus the Tier 1 EIS on improvements to 

existing service using the existing route 

on the Milwaukee to Twin Cities 

passenger rail corridor (the Corridor) 

from Milwaukee Intermodal Station to 

the Minneapolis Transportation 

Interchange. 

Purpose and Need: The purpose of the 

current proposed action is to meet 

future regional travel demand and 

provide intermodal connectivity to 

existing and planned transportation 

systems in Minnesota and Wisconsin. 

The proposed action offers an 

opportunity to provide reliable and 

competitive passenger rail service as an 

attractive alternative transportation 

choice between Milwaukee and the 

Twin Cities by: decreasing travel times, 

increasing frequency of service, and 

providing safe and reliable service. The 

need for the proposed action is based on 

the limitations and vulnerabilities of 

available travel modes between 

Milwaukee and the Twin Cities. 

Existing transportation modes, 

including highway, bus, and air travel, 

have inherent problems including 

congested highways near the 

Milwaukee, Madison, and Twin Cities 

metro areas and airport capacity issues 

at Minneapolis-St. Paul International 

Airport and Milwaukee’s General 

Mitchell International Airport. 

Improved and expanded passenger rail 

service can provide an alternative mode 

and/or relief to these congested 

roadways and airports. 

The environmental process will 

identify improvements to infrastructure 

that would allow for increased train 

frequency and reduced travel times for 

passenger rail service along the existing 

route on the Corridor. The existing route 

currently has passenger service; 

Amtrak’s Empire Builder serves the 

Corridor, and, therefore, provides the 

best opportunity to implement a phased 

approach for infrastructure 

improvements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Krom, Director, Passenger Rail 

Office, Minnesota Department of 

Transportation (MnDOT), 395 John 

Ireland Boulevard, MS 480, St. Paul, 

MN 55155, telephone (651) 366–3193; 

or Ms. Colleen Vaughn, Office of 

Railroad Policy and Development, 

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), 

1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., MS–20/ 

W38–303, Washington, DC 20590, 

telephone (202) 493–6096. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Vision of the Minnesota Comprehensive 

Statewide Freight and Passenger Rail 

Plan is to develop a robust intrastate 

and interstate intercity passenger rail 

system which results in improved travel 

options, costs and speeds for Minnesota 

and interstate travelers. One of the 

priority program elements identified in 

the Statewide Rail Plan is to advance 

corridors incrementally and 

simultaneously with MnDOT’s support, 

sequencing corridors and improvements 

depending on financing, right-of-way 

(ROW) acquisition and agreements with 

freight railroads. 

MnDOT is cognizant of hurdles faced 

in completely funding the vision for the 

Corridor in a single funding cycle in 

favor of partial or incremental funding 

and building of a passenger rail route in 

phases allowing for incremental 

increases in frequency as well as 

‘‘phased’’ reduction in travel time. The 

existing passenger rail service route 

between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities 

provides the best opportunity to 

implement a phased approach for 

infrastructure improvements due to its 

potential to incrementally implement a 

reduction in travel time and increase in 

frequency. This phased approach 

recognizes the constraints associated 

with funding requirements for major 

infrastructure improvements at the state 

and federal levels and is consistent with 

the Minnesota Statewide Rail Plan. 

Currently, MnDOT and the Wisconsin 

Department of Transportation (WisDOT) 

are coordinating with Amtrak to 

determine the feasibility of increasing 

the frequency of the current service 

from one round-trip per day to two with 

the introduction of the second Empire 

Builder train between the Twin Cities 

and Chicago via Milwaukee. 

Environmental Review Process 

The EIS will be developed in 

accordance with Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR part 1500 et seq.) 

implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and 

FRA’s Procedures for Considering 

Environmental Impacts (64 FR 28545; 

May 26, 1999). FRA and MnDOT will 

use a tiered process, as provided for in 

40 CFR 1508.28 and in accordance with 

FRA guidance, in the completion of the 

environmental review of the Program. 

The Tier 1 EIS will address broad 

corridor-level issues. Subsequent Tier 2 

reviews would analyze, at a greater level 

of detail, narrower site-specific projects 

based on the decisions made in the Tier 

1 EIS. 

The Tier 1 EIS will result in a NEPA 

document with the appropriate level of
