60228 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 197 / Thursday, October 12, 2006 / Notices 

Advisory Circular (AC) 120–66B, 

Aviation Safety Action Programs 

(ASAP), as amended, and a 

memorandum of understanding between 

the FAA, the certificate holder and, 

where applicable, pilot or maintenancetechnician groups. As with ASAP, the 

objective of the RIIEP is to encourage 

the voluntary reporting of safety 

information not otherwise available that 

could be critical in identifying casual 

factors leading to accidents, incidents—

particularly runway incursions, and 

violations. 

We encourage certificate holders and 

representatives of pilot and 

maintenance-technician groups having 

ASAP programs to incorporate RIIEP as 

a voluntary part of their ASAP process 

by providing RIIEP awareness 

information to their pilot and 

maintenance-technician groups. 

We strongly encourage ASAP 

programs, and their event review 

committee (ERC) members to provide 

the RIIEP Questionnaire to pilot or 

maintenance technician who submits an 

ASAP report involving a runway 

incursion or surface incident, and to 

request voluntary completion of the 

questionnaire by that employee. 

Note that RIIEP Questionnaires are 

located in FSAW 04–09 et al. (see 

above), Appendices 8 and 9. 

In the case of a sole source report, the 

employee should be instructed not to 

enter the name identification 

information requested in Section 1 of 

the questionnaire. With the ERC’s 

concurrence, that ASI should provide 

the completed questionnaire to the 

appropriate FSDO or CMO, which 

would process the safety data in 

accordance with Joint FSIB FSAW 04–

09, et al. For runway incursions or 

safety events accepted under an 

accepted ASAP MOU, the guidance in 

FAA Order 8400.10, Volume 1, Chapter 

5, Section 1, paragraph 293E concerning 

enforcement investigation coordination 

of alleged violations applies. 

RIIEP Continuation 

This continuations of the RIIEP will 

be in effect for 24 months beginning the 

effective date listed above.

Billings County, ND 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for a proposed roadway project 

and river crossing over the Little 

Missouri River in Billings County, North 

Dakota.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the North 

Dakota Department of Transportation 

and Billings County, will prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

on a proposal to provide a roadway by 

either upgrading and/or new 

construction to a proposed river 

crossing over the Little Missouri River 

in Billings County, North Dakota. The 

proposed project would be located 

between the northern border of the 

Billings County line, the western border 

of ND Highway 16, the eastern border of 

U.S. Highway 85, and the southern 

border of the Theodore Roosevelt 

National Park. 

The proposed project in the corridor 

is considered necessary to provide for 

system linkage between ND Highway 16 

and U.S. Highway 85 and for a variety 

of socioeconomic demands, such as 

emergency management services, 

industry, agriculture, and recreation. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include: (1) Taking no action; (2) 

construction of a river crossing 

structure: bridge, low-water crossing, or 

box culvert; (3) different roadway 

alignments to the river crossing, 

including upgrading and/or
