DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Jackson County, OR 

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 

transportation improvement in the City 

of Medford, Jackson County, Oregon. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Elton Chang, Environmental 

Coordinator, Federal Highway 

Administration, The Equitable Center, 

530 Center Street, NE., Suite 100, Salem, 

Oregon 97301, Telephone: (503) 399–

5749, elton.chang@fhwa.dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Oregon 

Department of Transportation (ODOT), 

will prepare an (EIS) on a proposal to 

solve the long-term (design year 2025) 

transportation demands in the Oregon 

Highway 62 / Crater Lake Highway 

Corridor. Improvements are considered 

necessary to provide for existing and 

projected traffic demand and a safe and 

efficient transportation system meeting 

modern design standards. The Oregon 

Highway Plan classifies this segment of 

Oregon Highway 62 as a Statewide 

National Highway and a freight route of 

statewide significance. Alternatives will 

be developed as part of the Alternatives 

Analysis component that will be 

incorporated into the EIS. Alternatives 

under consideration include (1) taking 

into action; (2) improving the existing 

Oregon Highway 62 / Crater Lake 

Highway corridor with a series of 

access/frontage roads; and (3) 

construction of a new roadway on new 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 212 / Thursday, November 3, 2005 / Notices 66893 

alignment to reduce congestion in the 

corridor. Phased construction/ 

improvements will be evaluated during 

the project development process, 

including evaluating interim solutions 

for a highway segment between the 

intersections of Poplar Drive and Delta 

Waters. Various build alternatives to be 

studied will include design variations of 

grade and alignment. Build alternatives 

will also consider improvements to the 

existing transit service; use of 

Transportation System Management, 

and Transportation Demand 

Management measures to alleviate 

traffic congestion; improvements to 

bicycle and pedestrian facilities; and 

access management. 

Information 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 

expressed or are known to have an 

interest in this proposal. Formal agency 

and public scoping meetings as well as 

additional public and agency meetings 

will be held during the course of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

process. In addition, a public hearing 

will be held. The draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comments 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.

motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) 

are eligible for importation into the 

United States because (1) they are 

substantially similar to vehicles that 

were originally manufactured for 

importation into and sale in the United 

States and that were certified by their 

manufacturer as complying with the 

safety standards, and (2) they are 

capable of being readily altered to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS shall be refused 

admission into the United States unless 

NHTSA has decided that the motor 

vehicle is substantially similar to a 

motor vehicle originally manufactured 

for importation into and sale in the 

United States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 

30115, and of the same model year as 

the model of the motor vehicle to be 

compared, and is capable of being 

readily altered to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

Petitions for eligibility decisions may 

be submitted by either manufacturers or 

importers who have registered with 

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 592. As 

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

of each petition that it receives, and 

affords interested persons an 

opportunity to comment on the petition. 

At the close of the comment period, 

NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 

petition and any comments that it has 

received, whether the vehicle is eligible 

for importation. The agency then 

publishes this decision in the Federal 

Register. 

US SPECS of Aberdeen, Maryland 

(Registered Importer 03–321) has 

petitioned NHTSA to decide whether 

non-U.S. certified 1999–2001 Ducati 996 

Biposto motorcycles are eligible for 

importation into the United States. The 

vehicles that US SPECS believes are 

substantially similar are 1999–2001 

Ducati 996 Biposto motorcycles that 

were manufactured for importation into 

and sale in the United States and were 

certified by their manufacturer as 

conforming to all applicable FMVSS. 

The petitioner claims that it carefully 

compared non-U.S. certified 1999–2001 

Ducati 996 Biposto motorcycles to their 

U.S. certified counterparts, and found 

the vehicles to be substantially similar 

with respect to compliance with most 

FMVSS. 

US SPECS submitted information 

with its petition intended to 

demonstrate that non-U.S. certified 

1999–2001 Ducati 996 Biposto 

motorcycles, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many FMVSS 

in the same manner as their U.S. 

certified counterparts, or are capable of 

being readily altered to conform to those 

standards. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

non-U.S. certified 1999–2001 Ducati 996 

Biposto motorcycles are identical to 

their U.S. certified counterparts with 

respect to compliance with Standard 

Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 116 Brake Fluid, 

119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles 

other than Passenger Cars, and 122 

Motorcycle Brake Systems. 

The petitioner further contends that 

the vehicles are capable of being readily 

altered to meet the following standards, 

in the manner indicated below:
