Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 17, 1995 / Notices 26469

specifically selected sections of part 23

of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(FAR) that have historically been

deemed burdensome for small simple

airplanes to show compliance. In

general terms, a small simple airplane

could be defined as non-turbine single

engine, unpressurized, and under 4,000

pound maximum weight; however,

applicability of these means of

compliance remains the responsibility

of the certification manager for each

specific project. Utilization of these

means of compliance does not affect the

applicability of any other certification

requirements that fall outside the scope

of this AC. This material is neither

mandatory nor regulatory in nature and

does not constitute a regulation.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the

proposed AC to: Federal Aviation

Administration, Attention: Standards

Office, ACE–110, Small Airplane

Directorate, Aircraft Certification

Comments Invited

Interested parties are invited to

submit such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Commenters must identify the AC and

submit comments to the address

specified above. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered by the

Standards Staff before issuing the final

AC. Comments may be inspected at the

Standards Office, ACE–110, Suite 900,

1201 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri,

between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00

p.m. weekdays, except Federal holidays.

Background

Some industry and aviation

organizations expressed concern that

the typical means of compliance for

some regulations might be more

demanding than justified. As a

consequence, industry, aviation groups,

and the FAA formed a team to

investigate the issue. Historical files,

Designated Engineering Representatives

(DER’s), Aircraft Certification Offices

(ACO’s), and industry were used to

determine target regulations and

provide known means of compliance.

This AC is a compilation of the study

results, listing the regulations and

attendant means of compliance that

offered an improvement in certification

efficiency. The listed means of

compliance have been found acceptable

and historically successful, but they are

not the only methods which can be used

to show compliance. In some cases,

highly sophisticated airplanes may

require more accurate or substantial

solutions.

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Marietta, Washington County, Ohio

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 bridge

replacement project in Marietta,

Washington County, Ohio.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Herman Rodrigo, Planning and

Program Development Manager, Federal

Highway Administration, 200 North

High Street, Room 328, Columbus, Ohio

43215, Telephone (614) 469–5877.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the Ohio

Department of Transportation and the

Washington County Engineer will

prepare an environmental impact

statement (EIS) on a proposal to replace
26470 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 17, 1995 / Notices

the Putnam Street Bridge over the

Muskingum River in Marietta,

Washington County, Ohio. The

preferred alternative (Putnam Street to

Putnam Avenue alignment) would

involve constructing a new bridge of

greater vertical and horizontal clearance

immediately south of the current twolane, 786-foot facility and the removal of

the existing bridge. Replacement of the

existing bridge is considered necessary

to provide for the existing and projected

traffic demands. The existing Putnam

Street Bridge is structurally deficient

and is posted for a maximum vehicle

weight of three tons. Local truck traffic

is presently routed three blocks north to

the bridge on Ohio Route 7. Alternatives

under consideration include: (1) Taking

no action; and alignments connecting

(2) Butler Street to Gilman Street; and

(3) Putnam Street to Putnam Avenue.

Other alignment alternatives and

rehabilitation of the existing bridge were

considered early on, but are not being

carried forward for further evaluation

for various reasons.

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

meeting was held on May 27, 1993. In

addition, a public hearing will be held

in conjunction with the public

availability of the draft EIS. Public

notice will be given of the time and

place of any further meetings that may

be held and the public hearing. The

draft EIS will be available for public and

agency review and comment prior to the

public hearing. Cooperating agency

requests have been made to the Coast

Guard and Army Corps of Engineers. No

formal scoping meeting is planned at

this time.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all relevant 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.

Research on the Feasibility of

Standardized Diagnostic Devices to

Aid in the Inspection and Maintenance

of Commercial Motor Vehicles; Public

Meeting

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA); DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: The FHWA announces a

public meeting to present the final

results of its contractual research study

to assess the feasibility of employing

standardized electronic diagnostic

devices for use by truck maintenance

personnel and roadside safety and

emissions inspectors. This meeting will

be held for the benefit of representatives

of the motor carrier industry,

enforcement organizations, trade

associations, and other interested

persons.

DATES: The public meeting will be held

on June 19, 1995, from 10 a.m. to 12

noon.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be

held in Conference room 2230 of the

NASSIF Building, U.S. Department of

Transportation, 400 7th Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20590.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Stan Hamilton, Federal Highway

Administration, Office of Motor

Carriers, 400 7th Street SW., room 3103,

Washington, DC 20590, telephone (202)

366–0665. Office hours are from 7:45

a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through

Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA announces a public meeting to

provide the results of its two-year

assessment of the feasibility of

standardized electronic diagnostic

devices for commercial motor vehicle

maintenance and inspection. Mandated

by the Congress in Fiscal Year 1992, this

research was performed for the FHWA

by the Trucking Research Institute in

cooperation with the Texas

Transportation Institute. The research

reviewed current literature on

microelectronic technology that was, or

could be, available for heavy-duty

vehicle usage, and then proceeded to

identify and evaluate sensors for

application in diagnostic systems for

major vehicle components on heavy

trucks. Also evaluated were potential

cost-sharing opportunities that would be

available from the private sector to

assist in the development of

standardized diagnostic tools.

Commercial motor carriers, original

equipment manufacturers, engine

manufacturers, components suppliers,

diagnostic service tool suppliers, and

other involved in the manufacture and

use of heavy trucks were interviewed

and provided extensive information for

this study. Most of the organizations

interviewed appeared willing to assist

in some fashion in the implementation

and testing of the diagnostic systems

identified.
