DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 5749] 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law: Study Group on Consumer 

Protection 

One of the goals of the Organization 

of American States is to harmonize 

private international law through InterAmerican Specialized Conferences on 

Private International Law (CIDIP). The 

OAS has hosted these conferences every 

four to six years. Currently states are 

drafting instruments for ‘‘CIDIP–VII,’’

which will focus inter alia on consumer 

protection. States are currently 

reviewing a draft Brazilian treaty on 

choice of law, a Canadian draft model 

law on choice of law and jurisdiction, 

and a U.S. proposal for a model law on 

the availability of consumer dispute 

resolution and redress. OAS member 

states discussed the three proposals at 

an initial meeting held in Porto Alegre, 

Brazil in December. No dates have been 

set for future meetings, but the views of 

participating states have been requested. 

The Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International Law 

(ACPIL) will hold a public meeting to 

continue reviewing the results of the 

Porto Alegre meeting and the views on 

the three proposals with regard to 

consumer protection, that were begun at 

the March 22, 2007 meeting. 

Time: The public meeting will take 

place at the Federal Trade Commission, 

600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Room H–

481, Washington, DC on April 24, 2007 

from 10 a.m. EST to 12 p.m. EST. If you 

are unable to attend the public meeting 

and you would like to participate by 

teleconferencing, please contact Trisha 

Smeltzer to receive the conference call 

number and the relevant materials (the 

Brazilian proposal for a treaty on choice 

of law, the Canadian proposal for a 

model law on jurisdiction and choice of 

law, and the U.S. proposal for a model 

law on the availability of consumer 

dispute resolution and redress). 

Public Participation: Advisory 

Committee Study Group meetings are 

open to the public. Persons wishing to 

attend should contact Trisha Smeltzer at 

smeltzertk@state.gov or at 202–776–

8423 and provide your name, e-mail

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Clackamas County, Oregon 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration, Oregon Department of 

Transportation, and Clackamas County, 

Oregon. 

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 a proposed 

transportation project on Harmony Road 

in Clackamas County, Oregon. 

DATES: A public scoping meeting will be 

held on Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at the 

Sunnybrook Service Center Auditorium, 

9101 SE., Sunnybrook Blvd., Clackamas, 

OR 97015. The public scoping meeting 

will include an open house from 4 p.m. 

to 7 p.m. and informational 

presentations at 4:30, 5, 5:30, 6, and 

6:30 p.m. The informational

question and answer period. An agency 

scoping meeting will be held on May 10,

scoping meeting will be from 2:30 P.M. 

to 4:30 P.M. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff 

Graham, P.E., Operations Engineer, 

Federal Highway Administration, 530 

Center Street NE., Suite 100, Salem, OR 

97301, Telephone: (503) 587–4727 or 

Ron Weinman, Principal Transportation 

Planner, Clackamas County, 9101 SE., 

Sunnybrook Blvd., Clackamas, OR 

97015, Telephone: (503) 353–4533. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Oregon 

Department of Transportation (ODOT), 

and Clackamas County Department of 

Transportation and Development, will 

prepare an EIS on a proposal to improve 

the transportation system in the SE 

Harmony Road corridor, from SE 82th 

Avenue to State Highway 224 

(approximately 1.5 miles). The project 

will consider alignment and 

improvement options on SE Harmony 

Road and intersections at SE Railroad 

Avenue/SE Linwood Avenue and SE 

Lake Road/SE International Way. In 

addition, the project study will consider 

alignment options for the extension of 

SE Sunnybrook Boulevard west of SE 

82nd Avenue and its western terminus. 

A significant project consideration is 

grade separation of the road and the 

Union Pacific rail line at the Harmony 

Road/Linwood Avenue/Railroad 

Avenue intersection. 

Improvements to the corridor are 

considered necessary to enhance safety 

and to reduce congestion associated 

with existing and projected traffic 

demand. Levels of service at 

intersections in the area are currently 

failing and are anticipated to worsen 

without improvements. By 2030, the 

number of households in the study area 

is expected to increase by 24 percent 

and the number of jobs by 43 percent. 

Growth is anticipated in association 

with planned development in and 

around the extension of regional lightrail service to the Clackamas Regional 

Center, which encompasses the 

Harmony Road corridor and is adopted 

in the Metro 2040 Growth Concept. 

The at-grade railroad mainline that 

crosses on the southwest side of the 

Harmony Road/Linwood Avenue/ 

Railroad Avenue intersection is part of 

the future high-speed rail corridor 

between Eugene, OR and Vancouver, 

BC. Operation of high-speed passenger 

trains along this corridor mandates 

grade separation of the rail line and the 

roadway for safety and operational 

purposes. Currently, there are 

approximately 6 passenger trains and 24 

freight trains crossing at this location 

each day, resulting in an average daily 

gate activation time of 150 minutes. 

These train crossings further burden the 

Harmony Road corridor with traffic 

delay. 

The EIS will identify transportation 

needs and deficiencies in the project 

study area, including mobility, access, 

system linkages and continuity, and 

safety. The range of evaluated 

transportation alternatives in the EIS 

will be developed to meet the identified 

project purpose and need. Potential 

alternatives and combinations thereof 

may include but are not limited to: (1) 

Taking no action; (2) adding capacity to 

existing roadways; (3) extending 

Sunnybrook Boulevard to the west of SE 

82nd Avenue and determining its 

alignment and terminus; (4) redesigning 

intersections along Harmony Road at 

Linwood Avenue/Railroad Avenue and 

Lake Road/International Way; (5) grade 

separating the road from the railroad 

crossing at the Harmony Road/Linwood
