create an intermodal transportation

center. The New Rochelle train station

is located in the central business district

of the City of New Rochelle,

Westchester County, New York. The

station site is bordered on the north by

the New England Section (I–95) of the

New York State Thruway; on the south

by Metro-North’s New Haven Division;

on the east by North Avenue, and on the

west by Division Street. It is a major

commuter stop along the MTA MetroNorth Railroad’s New Haven Division as

well as Amtrak’s New England Express,

Springfield, and Vermont lines. In

addition, the New Rochelle station will

be the only stop in Westchester for

Amtrak’s high speed Northeast Corridor

service between Washington, DC and

Boston, Massachusetts. The station is

also a hub for the County’s Bee-Line bus

service.

The City, the New York State

Department of Transportation, and

WCDOT will consolidate to the

maximum extent feasible various

transportation services into a single

intermodal hub adjacent to the train

station building. The overall goals and

objectives of this project are to provide

a convenient, secure, operationally

efficient transportation center which

considers internal circulation, site

access, user friendliness, bus pick up

and drop-off areas, commuter parking,

ADA access, taxi layover, kiss-and-ride,

and pedestrian as well as bicycle access.

Alternatives

The EIS will evaluate reasonable

alternatives that will assist in achieving

the objectives of the New Rochelle

Intermodal Transportation Center

Project. Alternatives to be analyzed

would include a No Build Alternative

under which no change to the New

Rochelle Station would occur. Other

alternatives to be considered would be

developed during the scoping and

public comment period and could

include design alternatives.

Probable Effects/Potential Impacts for

Analysis

The EIS will evaluate all potential

significant social, economic, and

environmental impacts of the

alternatives. Primary issues include

traffic and transportation, air quality,

noise, and the landmark-eligibility of

the Train Station Building. Both

positive and negative impacts will be

evaluated for the construction period

and for the long term period of

operation. Measures to mitigate adverse

impacts will be identified, where

reasonable and appropriate. The Build

year for the proposed project is

anticipated to be 2001.

FTA and State Procedures

The EIS process will be conducted in

accordance with the regulations and

guidance established by NEPA, as well

as FTA’s regulations under 23 CFR 771

and associated guidance documents.

Following the completion of the

scoping process, a draft EIS will be

prepared and made available for public

review. There will be a 45-day public

comment period and public hearing on

the draft EIS. After its publication and

the public hearing, a final EIS will be

prepared with appropriate revisions and

additions responding to all substantive

comments received. The final EIS will

serve as the basis for a Record of

Decision issued on the proposed action.

Because the proposed action also

includes actions by New York State,

county, and local agencies, it will also

be assessed in accordance with the New

York State Environmental Quality

Review Act (SEQRA). The City of New

Rochelle will serve as the lead agency

for SEQRA documentation. The content

and format of the Federal EIS will be

designed to also meet the requirements

of SEQRA for the action. All time

frames, public notices, public hearings,

and comment periods will be

coordinated in accordance with both

NEPA and SEQRA requirements.

Final Theft Data; Motor Vehicle Theft

Prevention Standard

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Publication of final theft data.

SUMMARY: This document publishes the

final data on thefts of model year (MY)

1996 passenger motor vehicles that

occurred in calendar year (CY) 1996.

The final 1996 theft data indicate a

decrease in the vehicle theft rate when

compared to the theft rate experienced

in CY/MY 1995. The final theft rate for

MY 1996 passenger vehicles stolen in

calendar year 1996 (3.28 thefts per

thousand vehicles produced) decreased

by 8.1 percent from the theft rate for CY/

MY 1995 vehicles (3.57 thefts per

thousand vehicles produced).

Publication of these data fulfills

NHTSA’s statutory obligation to

periodically obtain accurate and timely

theft data and publish the information

for review and comment. The data were

calculated for informational purposes

only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Rosalind Proctor, Office of Planning and

Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

20590. Ms. Proctor’s telephone number

is (202) 366–0846. Her fax number is

(202) 493–2739.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA

administers a program for reducing

motor vehicle theft. The central feature

of this program is the Federal Motor

Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49

CFR Part 541. The standard specifies

performance requirements for inscribing

and affixing vehicle identification

numbers (VINs) onto certain major

original equipment and replacement

parts of high-theft lines of passenger

motor vehicles.

The agency is required by 49 U.S.C.

33104(b)(4) to periodically obtain, from

the most reliable source, accurate and

timely theft data and publish the data

for review and comment. To fulfill this

statutory mandate, NHTSA has

published theft data annually beginning

with MYs 1983/84. Continuing to fulfill

the section 33104(b)(4) mandate, this

document reports the final theft data for

CY 1996, the most recent calendar year

for which data are available.

In calculating the 1996 theft rates,

NHTSA followed the same procedures it

used in calculating the MY 1995 theft

rates. (For 1995 theft data calculations,

see 62 FR 44416, August 21, 1997.) As

in all previous reports, NHTSA’s data

were based on information provided to

NHTSA by the National Crime

Information Center (NCIC) of the

Federal Bureau of Investigation. The

NCIC is a government system that

receives vehicle theft information from

nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies

and other law enforcement authorities

throughout the United States. The NCIC

data also include reported thefts of selfinsured and uninsured vehicles, not all

of which are reported to other data

sources.

The 1996 theft rate for each vehicle

line was calculated by dividing the

number of reported thefts of MY 1996

vehicles of that line stolen during

calendar year 1996 by the total number

of vehicles in that line manufactured for

MY 1996, as reported to the

Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA).
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 128 / Monday, July 6, 1998 / Notices 36479

The final 1996 theft data show a

decrease in the vehicle theft rate when

compared to the theft rate experienced

in CY/MY 1995. The final theft rate for

MY 1996 passenger vehicles stolen in

CY 1996 decreased to 3.28 thefts per

thousand vehicles produced, a decrease

of 8.1 percent from the rate of 3.57 thefts

per thousand vehicles experienced by

MY 1995 vehicles in CY 1995. For MY

1996 vehicles, out of a total of 204

vehicle lines, 71 lines had a theft rate

higher than 3.5826 per thousand

vehicles, the established median theft

rate for MYs 1990/1991. (See 59 FR

12400, March 16, 1994.) Of the 71

vehicle lines with a theft rate higher

than 3.5826, 67 are passenger car lines,

4 are multipurpose passenger vehicle

lines, and none are light-duty truck

lines.

On Monday, February 9, 1998,

NHTSA published the preliminary theft

rates for CY 1996 passenger motor

vehicles in the Federal Register (63 FR

6603). The agency tentatively ranked

each of the MY 1996 vehicle lines in

descending order of theft rate. The

public was requested to comment on the

accuracy of the data and to provide final

production figures for individual

vehicle lines. In response to the

February 1998 notice, the agency

received written comments from the

Chrysler Corporation (Chrysler), the

General Motors Corporation (GM) and

Mercedes-Benz of North America

(Mercedes). In their comments, all three

manufacturers provided the agency with

either corrected production figures or

nameplate changes for their vehicle

lines. (The written corrections are

available at the docket number cited at

the beginning of this notice.)

The agency used all written

comments to make the necessary

adjustments to its data. As a result of the

adjustments, the final theft rate and

ranking of the vehicle lines changed

from those published in the February

1998 notice.

In its comments, Chrysler commented

that the Chrysler Sebring Convertible

and the Chrysler Sebring Coupe are

completely different vehicles. They had

been erroneously listed as one vehicle

line entry with combined theft and

production figures. In response to

Chrysler’s comment, NHTSA is making

the necessary corrections to list these

two vehicle lines as separate entries in

the final theft listing. As a result of these

corrections, the Chrysler Sebring

previously ranked No. 44 with a theft

rate of 4.7341 is now listed as the

Chrysler Sebring Convertible ranked No.

98 with a theft rate of 2.7315 and the

Chrysler Sebring Coupe ranked No. 12

with a theft rate of 7.6859. Additionally,

Chrysler commented that the listing

erroneously omitted the Jeep Wrangler

vehicle line. After further review of

vehicle production data and

confirmation by Chrysler, it was

revealed that the Jeep Wrangler vehicle

line was not produced for MY 1996.

Therefore, the Chrysler Jeep Wrangler

vehicle line will remain unlisted.

Chrysler also informed the agency

that the production volume for the Jeep

Cherokee was erroneously listed. In

response to this comment, the

production volume for the Jeep

Cherokee has been corrected and the

final theft list has been revised

accordingly. As a result of the

correction, the Jeep Cherokee previously

ranked No. 88 with a theft rate of

3.0596, remains ranked the same but

now has a theft rate of 3.0878. Chrysler

also informed the agency that the

production volume for the Dodge

B1500/B2500 line was incorrect. After

further analysis of the production

volumes, it was confirmed with

Chrysler that the production volume

listed by the agency was not in error.

Therefore, the production volume and

the theft rate for this line will remain

unchanged.

GM informed the agency that the

nameplate for the Oldsmobile Cutlass

Ciera SL should be changed to the

Oldsmobile Ciera, the Chevrolet Lumina

APV should be changed to the Chevrolet

Lumina Minivan, the Oldsmobile

Bravada APV should be changed to the

Oldsmobile Bravada, the Oldsmobile 88

should be changed to Oldsmobile

Eighty-Eight, and the Oldsmobile 98

should be changed to Oldsmobile

Ninety-Eight. The final theft list has

been modified to reflect these changes.

Additionally, Mercedes informed the

agency that because the 124 line has

been replaced by the 210 line, beginning

with MY 1996, the nameplate for the

124 (E-Class) vehicle line should be

changed to the 210 (E-Class) vehicle

line. The final theft list has been revised

accordingly.

The following list represents

NHTSA’s final calculation of theft rates

for all 1996 passenger motor vehicle

lines. This list is intended to inform the

public of calendar year 1996 motor

vehicle thefts of model year 1996

vehicles and does not have any effect on

the obligations of regulated parties

under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331, Theft

Prevention.
