Background 

The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) develops building, 

fire, and electrical safety codes and 

standards. Federal agencies frequently 

use these codes and standards as the 

basis for developing Federal regulations 

concerning safety. Often, the Office of 

the Federal Register approves the 

incorporation by reference of these 

standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 

CFR Part 51.

Beltway Transportation Project From 

I–79 to the Mon/Fayette Expressway, 

Washington County, PA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) is issuing this notice 

to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for proposed 

transportation improvements between 

Interstate 79 (I–79) and the Mon/Fayette 

Expressway (Turnpike 43), known 

locally as a Southern Beltway 

Transportation Project, in Washington 

County, Pennsylvania.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corps, in cooperation with the 

Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, 

will now prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal for 

a limited access toll highway in 

Washington County, south of Pittsburgh, 

Pennsylvania. The proposed highway 

would extend from Interstate 79 south 

of the Allegheny County and 

Washington County line, easterly to the 

Mon/Fayette Expressway (Turnpike 43), 

near Finleyville, Washington County. 

The study corridor is approximately 19 

kilometers (12 miles) long and 2.5 

kilometers (1.5 miles) wide. Previously, 

the Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) served as the lead federal 

agency, with the Corps as a cooperating 

agency. The Financial Plan most 

recently submitted by the Pennsylvania 

Turnpike Commission to the 

Southwestern Pennsylvania 

Commission (SPC), the local 

Metropolitan Planning Organization, 

was not considered reasonable by SPC. 

As a result, the I–79 to Mon/Fayette 

Expressway Project was not included on 

SPC’s Transportation Improvement Plan 

(TIP) when it was updated and adopted 

in July 2007. Subsequently, the FHWA
