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 (EIS)

will be prepared for a proposed highway

facility from S.C. Route 267 near Lone

Star in Calhoun County to S–52 near

Rimini and Pinewood in Clarendon and

Sumter Counties, South Carolina.

Building, Columbia, South Carolina

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the South

Carolina Department of Transportation

(SCDOT), will prepare an environmental

71350 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 231 / Thursday, November 30, 2000 / Notices

impact statement on the proposed Lone

Star to Rimini Connector from S.C.

Route 267 near Lone Star in Calhoun

County across Lake Marion to S–52 near

Rimini and Pinewood in Clarendon and

Sumter Counties, South Carolina. The

proposed route would be approximately

9.3 miles in length and would consist of

one travel lane for each direction of

traffic with shoulder widths of eight

feet. Alternatives under consideration

include: (1) Taking no action (no-build;

(2) locating the proposed roadway

immediately adjacent to the northwest

side of the existing CSX railroad trestle;

and, (3) locating the proposed roadway

immediately adjacent to the southeast

side of the existing CSX railroad trestle.

The FHWA and SCDOT are seeking

input as a part of the scoping process to

assist in determining and clarifying

issues relative to this project. Letters

describing the proposed action and

soliciting comments have been sent by

the SCDOT to appropriate Federal,

State, and local agencies, and to private

organizations and citizens who have

previously expressed or are known to

have interest in this proposal. Formal

public scoping meetings are planned for

early 2001. Early coordination with

State and Federal permit and resource

agencies will be completed in the

development of the draft EIS. The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service, and the National

Marine Fisheries Service are being

requested to be cooperating agencies

due to the likely involvement of the

proposal with wetlands and wildlife

habitat in the Lake Marion flood plain

area. At least one location public

hearing will be held for which public

notice will be given of the time and

place of the hearings. 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.

Federal Railroad Administration

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 for a waiver of compliance

with certain requirements of its safety

standards. The individual petition is

described below, including the party

seeking relief, the regulatory provisions

involved, the nature of the relief being

requested, and the petitioner’s

arguments in favor of relief.

The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe

Railway Company

[Docket Number FRA–2000–7782]

The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe

Railway Company (BNSF) seeks a

permanent waiver of compliance with a

provision of the Locomotive Safety

Standards, 49 CFR 229.21(a), as it

pertains to the record keeping

requirement for locomotive daily

inspection reports. If the petitioner’s

request is granted, BNSF would file the

required report electronically in a

secure centralized database that would

be set up to track and store the records

for the required ninety-two days. The

railroad states that each employee

performing the inspections has been

provided a unique electronic

identification which will be utilized in

place of the signature. All requirements,

date, time location, person conducting

inspection, and any non-complying

conditions will be reported

electronically. BNSF utilizes an onboard

record of daily inspection and will

continue to do so if their request is

granted.

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, that

party should notify FRA, in writing,

before the end of the comment period

and specify the basis for their request.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number and must be

submitted to the Docket Clerk, DOT

Central Docket Management Facility,

Room Pl–401, Washington, DC 20590–

0001. Communications received within

45 days of the date of this notice will

be considered by FRA before final

action is taken. Comments received after

that date will be considered as far as

practicable. All written communications

concerning these proceedings are

available for examination during regular

business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) at the

above facility. All documents in the

public docket are also available for

inspection and copying on the Internet

at the docket facility’s Web site at

http://dms.dot.gov.
