DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 8711] 

Notice of Receipt of an Application by 

Otay Water District for Issuance of a 

Presidential Permit Authorizing the 

Construction, Connection, Operation, 

and Maintenance of a Cross-Border 

Pipeline Facility for the Importation of 

Desalinated Water on the Border of the 

United States and Mexico 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of Receipt of an 

Application by Otay Water District for 

Issuance of a Presidential Permit 

Authorizing the Construction, 

Connection, Operation, and 

Maintenance of a Cross-border Pipeline 

Facility for the Importation of 

Desalinated Water on the Border of the 

United States and Mexico. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that on 

November 25, 2013, the Department of 

State (DOS) received notice from the 

Otay Water District (‘‘Otay Water’’) that 

it seeks a Presidential Permit 

authorizing the construction, 

connection, operation, and maintenance 

of a cross-border pipeline facility for the 

importation of desalinated seawater on 

the border of the United States and 

Mexico in San Diego County, California. 

The Department will be working with 

Otay Water to conduct environmental 

analyses consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (‘‘NEPA’’) 

and the California Environmental 

Quality Act (‘‘CEQA’’) for the Otay Mesa 

Conveyance System Project that would 

convey desalinated seawater from the 

new border crossing approximately four 

miles northeast to Otay Water’s Roll 

Reservoir in San Diego County (‘‘the 

Project’’). The Project would provide a 

new water supply source from the U.S.- 

Mexico border to Otay Water’s potable 

water system and ultimately delivered 

to end-user customers in the United 

States which Otay Water contends will 

reduce the strain and demand on the 

overall region’s limited water supply.’’ 

Under E.O. 11423, as amended, the 

Secretary of State is designated and 

empowered to receive all applications 

for Presidential Permits for the 

construction, connection, operation, or 

maintenance at the borders of the 

United States of facilities for the 

exportation or importation of water or 

sewage to or from a foreign country. The 

Department of State has the 

responsibility to determine whether 

issuance of a new Presidential Permit in 

light of Otay Water’s application would 

serve the U.S. national interest. 

Otay Water’s application is available 

at http://www.state.gov/e/enr/applicant.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2127—New. 

Title: Physical Fitness and Driving 

Performance. 

Form No.: NHTSA Form 1227. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Respondents: Drivers age 70 and older 

who have responded to a solicitation for 

participation in a study of aging, 

physical fitness, and driving safety and 

have initiated a phone call expressing 

their interest in study participation. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

An estimated that 270 respondents who 

contact researchers in response to 

descriptive solicitations. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time to respond to questions 

in the telephone conversations is 15 

minutes for each conversation with a 

respondent. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 67.5 hours. 

Frequency of Collection: The 

questions will be presented a single 

time. 

Abstract: Older adults comprise an 

increasing proportion of the (driving) 

population and there is concern about 

the consequences of declining physical 

abilities such as strength, flexibility, and 

range of motion on the safe operation of 

motor vehicles. Previous research 

indicates that gains in physical fitness 

improve a number of abilities important 

for safe driving. NHTSA needs to learn 

more about these relationships between 

fitness and driving performance to 

support the development of 

recommendations and educational 

materials aimed at improving older 

driver safety. The objective in this 

project is to assess the effect(s) of
