Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement

Suspension; Santa Fe and San Miguel

Counties, NM

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that we have

suspended preparation of an

environmental impact statement for a

proposed transportation improvement

project in Santa Fe and San Miguel

Counties, New Mexico.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Reuben S. Thomas, Division

Administrator, Federal Highway

Administration, 604 W. San Mateo,

Santa Fe, NM 87505. Telephone: (505)

820–2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the New

Mexico State Highway and
8306 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 36 / Monday, February 24, 1997 / Notices

Transportation Department (NMSHTD),

has decided to suspend preparation of

an environmental impact statement

(EIS) on three alternative alignments for

connecting NM 50 to I–25 in the vicinity

of the Glorieta Unit of the Pecos

National Historical Park.

In the late fall of 1996 the FHWA and

NMSHTD concluded from the

information prepared in the EIS study,

from public and agency input received

over the course of the study and from

the lack of available funding, that an

alternative outside the existing roadway

corridor would not be in the best

interest of the traveling public.

Likewise, the FHWA/NMSHTD

concluded that any improvements along

the existing roadway corridor within the

Pecos National Historical Park, Pigeon’s

Ranch Subunit, do not appear to be

compatible with National Park Service

preservation and interpretation

commitments. Therefore this notice of

EIS study suspension has been

published in the Federal Register. Work

to date is documented in an

Environmental Data Investigation

Report. This report is available for

review in the Santa Fe offices of

NMSHTD and FHWA.

Issued on: February 4, 1996.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Worcester County, Maryland

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

environmental impact statement will be

prepared for a proposed highway project

in Worcester County, Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Renee Sigel, Planning, Research and

Environment Team Leader, Federal

Highway Administration, The RotundaSuite 220, 711 West 40th Street,

Baltimore, Maryland 21211, Telephone:

(410) 962–4342.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Maryland State Highway

Administration and Worcester County,

will prepare an environmental impact

statement (EIS) on a proposal to

improve US 113 in Worcester County.

The proposed improvement would

address the project’s purpose and need

which is to improve safety and traffic

flow along US 113 from Snow Hill to

the Delaware State Line.

Improvements to this roadway are

considered necessary because of the

high number of fatal accidents in the

study area. Additionally, an increase in

travel demand is projected to lower the

level of service of this roadway

throughout the project area by the year

2020.

The alternatives under consideration

include: (1) Taking no action, (2)

construction improvements that are part

of an integrated plan of phased safely

and capacity improvements, as well as

traffic management strategies, that

would provide lower cost refinements to

the existing transportation system

without major alteration to the existing

two lane highway, (3) dualization on

existing alignment, (4) dualization on

new alignment and (5) a combination of

dualization on new alignment with

dualizing US 113 in selected areas.

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 or are known to have an

interest in this proposal. A public

hearing will be held in May of 1997.

Public notice will be given of the time

and place of this hearing.

The draft EIS will be available for

public and agency review and comment

prior to the public hearing. A formal

scoping meeting for this project was

held in May of 1995.

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 EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

provided above]. (Catalog of Federal

Domestic Assistance Program Number

20.205, Highway Research, Planning

and Construction. The regulations

implementing Executive Order 12372

regarding intergovernmental

consultation of Federal Programs and

activities apply to this program).

Federal Railroad Administration

[FRA Docket Number RST–95–3]

Amendment to Petition for Waiver of

Compliance

In accordance with Part 211 of Title

49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),

notice is hereby given that the Federal

Railroad Administration (FRA) received

a request from the New York State

Department of Transportation (NYDOT)

for a waiver of compliance with certain

requirements of 49 CFR Part 213, Track

Safety Standards.

In its original request, NYDOT

requested to operate the Rohr

Turboliner trainsets at higher cant

deficiencies on the Empire Corridor

extending from New York City, New

York, to Niagara Falls, New York, (see

60 Federal Register No. 230, November

30, 1995). Due to an FRA clerical error,

the notice of NYDOT’s request to add

various types of equipment to its

original petition did not clearly indicate

that NYDOT seeks to add equipment

owned by the Metro North Commuter

Railroad as well as equipment owned by

the National Railroad Passenger

Corporation.

The second paragraph of the notice,

Addendum to Petition for Waiver of

Compliance (see 61 Federal Register

No. 234, December 4, 1996), should read

as follows: NYDOT now requests to add

the National Railroad Passenger

Corporation’s (Amtrak) equipment and

the following Metro North Commuter

Railroad (Metro-North) equipment

types: FL–9, FL–9 AC, Genesis I and II

locomotives, Bombardier Shoreliner

coaches, M–1 and M–3 electricpropelled coaches. NYDOT also

proposes to limit its request to

underbalance levels up to six inches

and limit the territory of its request to

that portion of the Empire Corridor

extending between Penn Station, New

York, and Poughkeepsie, New York,

over track segments owned by Amtrak

and Metro North.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in these proceedings by

submitting written views, data, or

comments. FRA does not anticipate

scheduling a public hearing in

connection with these proceedings since

the facts do not appear to warrant a

hearing. If any interested party desires

an opportunity for oral comment, they

should notify FRA, in writing, before

the end of the comment period and

specify the basis for their request.

All communications concerning this

proceeding should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver
