SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: United States Army Generic 

Clearance; OMB Control Number 0702– 

TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The proposed 

information collection activity provides 

a means to garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Responses will be assessed to plan 

and inform efforts to improve or 

maintain the quality of service offered to 

the public. If this information is not 

collected, vital feedback from customers 

and stakeholders on the Agency’s 

services will be unavailable.

Intent To Prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Route 460 Location Study From 

Prince George County to the City of 

Suffolk, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) and the United 

States Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), Norfolk District, as joint lead 

federal agencies, and in cooperation 

with the Virginia Department of 

Transportation (VDOT), will prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 249 / Friday, December 27, 2013 / Notices 78949 

Statement (SEIS) for the Route 460 

Location Study Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS). The purpose of 

this SEIS is to evaluate new information 

regarding the aquatic resource impacts 

and alternatives described in the June 

2008 FEIS and the September 2008 

Record of Decision (ROD). In addition, 

FHWA is evaluating proposed changes 

to the termini of the selected alternative 

and the proposed interchange at Route 

620, and proposed changes to the 

selected alignment to avoid and 

minimize aquatic resource impacts. 

The USACE is preparing the 

document to produce a supplemented 

FEIS that fully evaluates the new 

information and to gather information 

that informs and supports the USACE’s 

evaluation of the Department of the 

Army Individual Permit (IP) application 

submitted by U.S. Route 460 Mobility 

Partners (the Applicant) for the 

discharge of fill material into waters of 

the United States in conjunction with 

the construction of the Route 460 

Corridor Improvements Project (Project). 

The USACE was a cooperating agency in 

the preparation of the June 2008 FEIS 

and will adopt that document as 

appropriate. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

January 27, 2014.

Administrator, Federal Highway 

Administration, 400 North 8th Street, 

Suite 750, Richmond, VA 23219. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alice Allen-Grimes, email: alice.w.allenarimes@usace.army.mil; (757) 201–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Description of the Proposed Action 

and Background: U.S. Route 460 

Mobility Partners proposes to construct 

a limited access principle arterial tolled 

facility on new location for 

approximately 55 miles which would be 

located to the south and roughly parallel 

to the existing Route 460 corridor 

between Interstate 295 in Prince George 

County and Route 58 in the City of 

Suffolk, Virginia. The typical section 

consists of a four-lane, divided highway 

with two 12-foot lanes in each direction, 

a 40-foot median, and paved shoulders. 

Seven interchanges are proposed along 

the project at the secondary roads. The 

Applicant has entered into a designbuild contract with VDOT to design and 

construct the Project. Upon determining 

that the submitted permit application is 

complete, the USACE will issue a public 

notice and continue processing the 

permit application. 

An FEIS for the Route 460 Location 

Study was approved by FHWA in June 

2008 and a ROD was issued by FHWA 

in September 2008. U.S. Route 460 

Mobility Partners has entered into a 

contract with VDOT to obtain permits 

and construct the Preferred Alternative 

identified in the 2008 FEIS/ROD. In 

November 2012, based upon the 

information before them at the time, 

FHWA completed a National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Reevaluation of the FEIS concluding that 

an SEIS was not needed. Based on new 

information bearing on the 

environmental impacts, including the 

aquatic impacts, it was later decided 

that an SEIS is required. 

This SEIS will review information 

from the Route 460 Location Study 

FEIS/ROD, incorporate new 

information, update the alternatives and 

impacts analyses, and assess impacts 

not previously evaluated in the FEIS/

ROD. To streamline federal processes, 

the SEIS will also include the USACE’s 

NEPA evaluation. 

2. Alternatives: Alternatives to be 

considered for the proposed project are 

the No-Build Alternative, the FHWA/

VDOT preferred alternative (Preferred 

Alternative from the 2008 FEIS/ROD) 

and the FHWA/VDOT preferred 

alternative revised to include one or 

more of the following proposed changes: 

changes to the termini, the proposed 

interchange at Route 620, and alignment 

shifts to avoid and minimize impacts. 

Additionally, so that the USACE may 

fulfill its required alternatives analysis 

responsibilities, consideration will also 

be given to the alternative from the DEIS 

to improve the existing Route 460 

corridor (CBA–2), an alternative to 

provide a limited access tolled facility 

along the existing Route 460 corridor 

(CBA–2 Tolled), and potentially, other 

alternatives identified during the SEIS 

process. 

The SEIS will also document the 

alternatives previously eliminated from 

consideration by FHWA. Actions 

available to the USACE for the proposed 

project are to issue the IP, issue the IP 

with special conditions, or deny the IP. 

3. Scoping and Public Review Process: 

Throughout the development of the 

project, a variety of scoping and public 

involvement opportunities were 

provided to alert the public about the 

project, provide information and 

updates, and solicit feedback. These 

opportunities included but were not 

limited to a series of public hearings in 

the corridor when the DEIS was issued 

in 2005 and a series of public meetings 

in 2007 under Virginia’s PPTA to 

evaluate conceptual proposals received 

from the private sector in response to 

the solicitation of proposals. Most 

recently, VDOT hosted public meetings 

in 2012 to update the public on the 

project and respond to public input. 

To ensure that a full range of issues 

related to the Project are addressed and 

all significant issues identified, 

comments and suggestions are invited 

from all interested parties. Comments 

and suggestions concerning the range of 

issues to be evaluated under the SEIS 

should be submitted to FHWA and the 

Corps at (see ADDRESSES) within 30 days 

of the issuance of this notice to ensure 

timely consideration. 

Based on the extensive public 

involvement to date on the proposed 

Project, no public input on the scope of 

the SEIS will be requested beyond the 

solicitation by this notice for comments 

on the range of issues to be evaluated. 

No formal scoping meetings will be 

held. 

Notification of the availability of the 

draft SEIS for public and agency review 

will be made in the Federal Register 

and using other methods to be jointly 

determined by FHWA, USACE and 

VDOT. Those methods will identify 

where interested parties can go to 

review a copy of the draft SEIS. 

For the draft SEIS, public meetings 

will be held and a minimum 45-day 

comment period will be provided. The 

public meetings will be conducted by 

VDOT and announced a minimum of 15 

days in advance of the meetings. VDOT 

will provide information for the public 

meetings, including date, time and 

location through a variety of means 

including their Web site (http://

www.virginiadot.org/default_

noflash.asp) and by newspaper 

advertisement. In addition to the draft 

SEIS public involvement opportunities, 

the USACE will issue a public notice for 

a minimum 30-day comment period 

following receipt of a complete 

application. 

4. Issues: Based on coordination 

between FHWA, USACE, and VDOT, 

the issues to be analyzed in the SEIS 

will include, but are not limited to, 

alternatives based on the updated effects 

to aquatic resources including wetland 

and stream impacts, threatened and 

endangered species, relocations, 

cultural resources, and cost. 

5. Additional Review and 

Consultation: The SEIS will comply 

with other federal and state 

requirements including, but not limited 

to, the state water quality certification 

under Section 401 of the CWA; 

protection of water quality under the 

Virginia/National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System; consideration of

under Executive Order 12898; 

protection of endangered and threatened 

species under Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act; and protection 

of cultural resources under Section 106 

of the National Historic Preservation 

Act. 

6. Availability of the Draft SEIS: The 

Draft SEIS is expected to be published 

and circulated during the Spring of 

2014, and a public meeting will be held 

by VDOT after the publication of the 

Draft SEIS.
