BILLING CODE 4910–13–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Multnomah County, Oregon 

AGENCIES: Federal Highway 

Administration, Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice of intent to advise agencies and 

the public that an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) will be prepared to 

assess the impacts of proposed repair or 

replacement of the Sellwood Bridge 

over the Willamette River in Portland, 

Oregon. 

DATES: Public and Agency meetings will 

be advertised and held in Portland, 

Oregon during the development of the 

EIS. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Edward J. DeCleva, Environmental 

Protection Specialist, Federal Highway 

Administration, The Equitable Building, 

Suite 100, 530 Center Street, NE., Salem, 

OR 97301, (503) 587–4710. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Oregon 

Department of Transportation (ODOT) 

and Multnomah County, will prepare an 

EIS for proposed repair or replacement 

of the Sellwood Bridge Project across 

the Willamette River in Portland, 

Oregon. The existing Sellwood Bridge 

has been identified by the ODOT 

Statewide Bridge Inventory as deficient 

for load and seismic purposes. It has a 

sufficiency rating of 2 out of 100. The 

sufficiency rating is a measure of a 

bridge’s structural integrity and 

transportation function with respect to 

current design standards. The bridge has 

narrow travel lanes and no shoulders 

and one narrow sidewalk, with light 

poles that intrude in the travel path of 

the sidewalk. It is currently load limited 

to 10 tons and restricts freight, 

emergency vehicle, and bus traffic. The 

western terminal of the bridge is located 

on an active slide area. The structure 

requires ongoing maintenance and 

repairs. With 30,000 vehicles per day, it 

has the highest traffic volumes of any 

two-lane bridge in the state of Oregon. 

The FHWA, ODOT and Multnomah 

County will evaluate potential 

transportation, environment, social, 

cultural, and economic impacts of a 

range of alternatives, including a no 

build alternative. The project purpose 

and need and range of alternatives will 

be identified through consultations with 

the public, Federal, State and local 

agencies, and interested federally 

recognized tribes. ODOT and 

Multnomah County solicited public 

comments on the propose project 

through a public scoping meeting held 

in Portland, Oregon on October 25, 

2006. Federal, State and local agencies, 

and interested federally recognized 

tribes will be invited to attend agency 

scoping meetings in December 2006. 

Additional public, agency, and tribal 

meetings will be held during the 

development of the EIA. A public 

hearing will also be held. In addition to 

mailings, meetings and hearing dates, 

times and locations will be announced 

on the project Web site accessible at 

http://www.sellwoodbridge.org/ and in 

local and regional newspapers. The 

draft EIS will be made available for 

public, agency and tribal review and 

comment prior to the public hearing. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

above.

BILLING CODE 4910–22–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Maritime Administration 

[USCG–2005–21232] 

Beacon Port LLC Liquefied Natural 

Gas Deepwater Port License; Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) 

and the Maritime Administration 

(MARAD) announce the availability of 

the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the Beacon Port 

liquefied natural gas deepwater port 

license application. The application 

describes a project that would be 

located in the Gulf of Mexico, in lease 

block High Island Area 27, on the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS). The main 

terminal would be located 

approximately 45 miles south of High 

Island and 50 miles east-southeast of 

Galveston, Texas, with a riser platform 

in lease block West Cameron 167, 

approximately 27 miles south of Holly 

Beach and 29 miles south-southeast of 

Johnson’s Bayou, Louisiana. 

DATES: Material submitted in response 

to the request for comments must reach 

the Docket Management Facility on or 

before December 11, 2006. 

On November 3, 2006 the applicant 

informed MARAD and the Coast Guard 

that they are withdrawing the Beacon 

Port LLC Liquefied Natural Gas 

Deepwater Port License application. 

Therefore, public hearings on the 

Deepwater Port License will not be held 

since a license will not be granted on 

the withdrawn application. 

In their withdrawal notification the 

applicant indicated that they may 

determine at some future date to 

resubmit the Beacon Port license 

application (either modified or a new 

application for this location). In that 

event this Environmental Impact 

Statement may be used as the basis for 

any additional or updated NEPA 

documentation that would be necessary 

should the application be resubmitted. 

For that reason, comments relating to 

the FEIS are still being solicited.
