SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Planning and Research Program 

Administration. 

OMB Control No.: 2125–0039. 

Background: Under the provisions of 

Title 23, United States Code, Section 

505, 2 percent of Federal-aid highway 

funds in certain categories that are 

apportioned to the States are set aside 

to be used only for State Planning and 

Research (SPR). At least 25 percent of 

the SPR funds apportioned annually 

must be used for research, development, 

and technology transfer activities. In 

accordance with government-wide grant 

management procedures, a grant 

application must be submitted for these 

funds. In addition, recipients must 

submit periodic progress and financial 

reports. In lieu of Standard Form 424, 

Application for Federal Assistance, the 

FHWA uses a work program as the grant 

application. This includes a scope of 

work and budget for activities to be 

undertaken with FHWA planning and 

research funds during the next 1 or 2 

year period. The information contained 

in the work program includes task 

descriptions, assignments of 

responsibility for conducting the work 

effort, and estimated costs for the tasks. 

This information is necessary to 

determine how FHWA planning and 

research funds will be utilized by the 

State Transportation Departments and if 

the proposed work is eligible for Federal 

participation. The content and 

frequency of submission of progress and 

financial reports specified in 23 CFR 

part 420 are specified in OMB Circular 

A–102 and the companion common 

grant management regulations. 

Respondents: 52 State Transportation 

Departments, including the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Estimated Average Annual Burden 

per Response: 560 hours per 

respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 29,120 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, 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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA). 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that an environmental 

impact statement will be prepared for 

the proposed State Route 95 

Realignment in Mohave County, 

Arizona.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Arizona 

Department of Transportation (ADOT), 

Mohave County, and the City of 

Bullhead City will prepare a National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

on a proposal to realign State Route 95 

in Mohave County, Arizona. The 

proposed highway improvement will 

involve the relocation of the existing 

route on a new alignment east of the 

current highway beginning 

approximately two miles south of 

Interstate 40 and extending north to 

State Route 68 for a distance of 

approximately 42 miles. An analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the development of access roads 

connecting the new highway alignment 

with the existing roadways to west will 

also be studied as part of this EIS. The 

reconstruction of State Route 95 is 

considered necessary to provide for an 

access controlled highway to facilitate 

regional traffic flow and reduce traffic 

congestion.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 105 / Friday, June 1, 2007 / Notices 30661 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) Taking no action and (2) 

consideration of at least two different 

alignments for potential relocation and 

development of the highway as a 

limited access facility located east of the 

existing State Route 95 highway 

primarily on public lands managed by 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). 

The BLM has accepted the role of 

Cooperating Agency for the study and 

will work closely with ADOT and 

FHWA to ensure NEPA evaluation 

includes analyses necessary for the BLM 

to utilize the FHWA EIS as a basis for 

decision to amend the BLM Kingman 

Resource Management Plan to allow for 

the highway to traverse public lands 

managed by BLM. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate federal, state, and local 

agencies, and to private organizations 

and citizens who have previously 

expressed interest in this proposal. 

Formal NEPA agency and public 

scoping meetings, a series of public 

information meetings, and a public 

hearing will be held. Public notice will 

be given of the time and place of the 

meetings and hearing. The draft EIS will 

be available for public and agency 

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 

provided above.
