underground station south of Ponce de

Leo ́n Avenue. Tail tracks would extend

underground parallel to PR–22 north,

beyond Ponce de Leo ́n to approximately

Latimer Street. In addition to the center

platform station at Ponce de Leo ́n, an

intermediate stop would be built along

PR–1 at Los Angeles Street. This station

would be elevated and have side

platforms.

Alternative B: Underground Alignment

along Ponce de Leo ́n Avenue

This alternative is the currently

approved alignment by the Puerto Rico

Planning Board, and has been in the

Plan Vial for the San Juan Metropolitan

Region since the Board and the

Governor approved it in 1982. Under

this alternative, the extension of Tren

Urbano would be via an underground

alignment beneath Ponce de Leo ́n

Avenue. Similar to the previous

alternative, two stations would be

constructed. As part of this alternative,

both stations would be underground.

The alignment would extend west from

the Sagrado Corazo ́n station along the

north marginal road of PR–1 until west

of Pedro de Castro Street. At this point,

the alignment would curve northwest

and descend to a tunnel portal south of

Ferna ́ndez Juncos Avenue. The Minillas

station would be located immediately

west of PR–22 under Ponce de Leo ́n and

have a center platform. The tail tracks

would extend to a point west of Dos

Hermanos Street. An intermediate

center platform station would be located

at or near the corner of Fidalgo Dı ́az

Avenue.

Pipeline Risk Management

Demonstration Program; Electronic

Update

AGENCY: Office of Pipeline Safety, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On Wednesday, September

17, 1997, the Office of Pipeline Safety

(OPS) will sponsor the second in a

series of satellite-based video

presentations on the status of the

Pipeline Risk Management

Demonstration Program. The broadcast

will show how communities can learn

about demonstration projects in their

area, and the potential benefits that may

result. It will be aired as part of the

Federal Emergency Management

Agency’s (FEMA) Emergency Education

Network (EENET) 150th broadcast, from

2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight

Time, and will be easily accessible

involvement and effective

communication are critical elements in

the success of the Demonstration

Program.

will be aired on September 17, 1997,

from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Eastern

Daylight Time.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Eben M. Wyman, (202) 366–0918, or by

e-mail (eben.wyman@rspa.dot.gov),

regarding the subject matter of this

Notice. Contact the Dockets Unit, (202)

366–5046, for other material in the

docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Demonstration Program tests an

innovative regulatory approach to

achieving superior safety performance

by allowing pipeline operators to

customize safety activities. OPS aired an

electronic town meeting on June 5,

1997, to discuss the risk management

program and candidate projects. Based

on feedback received from this effort,

OPS is using this method as a regular

feature of risk management

communication efforts. During the June

5th live broadcast, viewers had an

opportunity to pose questions and voice

concerns to OPS, State, industry and

community representatives. OPS is

seeking ways to expand the audience to

include local safety and environmental

protection officials as well as other

community representatives. These

broadcasts are also available via new

Internet technology, which provided the

information via linkage to properly

equipped personal computers. Links to

the show and necessary software to

view it are found at the Town Meeting

Homepage. The Internet address is:

http://ops.dot.gov/tmvid.htm.

Videotapes of these broadcasts are

available to loan to interested parties

from their State pipeline safety office, or

from OPS Headquarters. Individuals can

request to borrow a copy of the June 5th

videotape via the OPS Homepage (http:/

/ops.dot.gov), or by contacting OPS by

e-mail (pipeline.safety@rspa.dot.gov).

During the coming months while OPS is

evaluating candidate projects,

stakeholders are encouraged to ask

questions and provide information they

feel is relevant.

OPS programs will be broadcast via

EENET, which has been broadcasting for

more than ten years and has an

extensive audience in the emergency

services and emergency management

communities. By using EENET, OPS has

the opportunity to involve thousands of

public safety and emergency

management officials who routinely

receive these programs. EENET sites use

the widely available ‘‘backyard satellite

dish’’ technology.

Here are the ways you can watch this

broadcast:

—View the broadcast via Internet

(address http://ops.dot.gov/

tmvid.htm.

—Contact your local television cable

company and ask if they will carry

this EENET video broadcast.

—Contact your local government cable

access office for specific information.

Many local governments have

dedicated internal cable systems

which carry programs such as these to

their offices and other facilities.

—Use a local facility which has a

TeleVision Receive-Only (‘‘dish’’).

Many schools (elementary, secondary,

and community colleges), hospitals,

or local hotels and motels have these

facilities.

—Rent a portable TeleVision ReceiveOnly (‘‘dish’’) and have it set up at

your viewing place.

—Set up a TeleVision Receive-Only

(‘‘dish’’) at your viewing facility.

The technical information necessary

to align the receiver dish with one of the

satellites is:
