DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 6032] 

Termination of Statutory Debarment 

and Reinstatement of Eligibility To 

Apply for Export/Retransfer 

Authorizations Pursuant to Section 

38(g)(4) of the Arms Export Control 

Act, for Rotair Industries, Inc. (Rotair) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State has terminated 

the statutory debarment against Rotair 

pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of the Arms 

Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 

2778(g)(4)). 

DATES: Effective Date: December 7, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David C. Trimble, Director Office of 

Defense Trade Controls Compliance, 

Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, 

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, 

Department of State (202) 663–2807. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

38(g)(4) of the AECA (22 U.S.C. 2778) 

prohibits the issuance of export licenses 

to a person, if that person or any party 

to the export has been convicted of 

violating section 38 of the AECA and 

certain other U.S. criminal statutes 

enumerated at section 38(g)(1)(A) of the 

AECA. A person convicted of violating 

the AECA is also subject to statutory 

debarment under section 127.7 of the 

ITAR. 

In July 2004, Rotair was convicted of 

violating the AECA and the ITAR (U.S. 

District Court, District of Connecticut, 

3:04CR 149–JBA). Based on this 

conviction, Rotair was statutorily 

debarred pursuant to section 127.7 of 

the ITAR and, thus, prohibited from 

participating directly or indirectly in 

exports of defense articles and defense 

services. Notice of debarment was 

published in the Federal Register (70 

FR 57349, September 30, 2005). 

In accordance with section 38(g)(4) of 

the AECA, statutory debarment may be 

terminated after consultation with the 

other appropriate U.S. agencies and 

after a thorough review of the 

circumstances surrounding the 

conviction and a finding that 

appropriate steps have been taken to 

mitigate any law enforcement concerns. 

The Department of State, after 

consultation with other agencies, has 

determined that Rotair has taken 

appropriate steps to address the causes 

of the violations and to mitigate any law 

enforcement concerns. Therefore, the 

debarment against Rotair is rescinded, 

effective December 7, 2007. The effect of 

this action is that Rotair may participate 

without prejudice in the export of 

defense articles and defense services 

subject to Section 38 of the AECA and 

the ITAR. 

Dated: December 7, 2007.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Jefferson County, MO 

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 proposed 

improvements to Route MM between 

Route 21 and Route 30 in Jefferson 

County, Missouri. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Peggy J. Casey, Environmental Projects 

Engineer, FHWA Division Office, 3220 

West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson City, 

MO 65109, Telephone: (573) 636–7104; 

or Mr. Kevin Keith, Chief Engineer, 

Missouri Department of Transportation, 

P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO 65102, 

Telephone: (573) 751–2803. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Missouri Department of Transportation 

(MoDOT), will prepare an EIS to 

investigate the possible relocation or 

reconstruction of Route MM between 

Route 21 and Route 30 in Jefferson 

County, Missouri. A location study will 

run concurrently with the preparation of 

the EIS and will provide definitive 

alternatives for evaluation in the EIS. 

The EIS will fully analyze the issues, 

problems, and potential social and 

environmental impacts associated with 

improving or realigning Route MM. The 

goals of the proposed action are to 

increase capacity, reduce congestion, 

and improve safety. 

The proposed project is located 

between Route 21 on the east and Route 

30 on the west, entirely within Jefferson 

County. The project is approximately 

4.3 miles in length. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) no build; (2) improvements 

to the existing alignment; (3) new 

alignments; (4) safety improvements; 

and (5) transportation management 

options. 

To date, preliminary information has 

been issued to local officials and other 

interested parties. As part of the scoping 

process, an interagency coordination 

meeting will be held with federal and 

state resource agencies. In addition, 

informational meetings with the public 

and community representatives will be 

held to solicit input on the project and 

a reasonable range of alternatives. A 

location public hearing will be held to 

present the findings of the draft EIS 

(DEIS). Public notice will be given 

announcing the time and place of all 

public meetings and the hearing. The 

DEIS 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 are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments and questions concerning 

this proposed action and the EIS should 

be directed to the FHWA or MoDOT at 

the addresses provided above. Concerns 

in the study area include potential 

impacts to natural resources, cultural 

resources, neighborhoods, and the 

community of House Springs, located at 

the western end of the study area. 

Improvements to the existing alignment 

could impact cultural resources, 

adjacent residences, and the House 

Springs business district. Realignment 

of Route MM could impact a large 

undeveloped, wooded area with 

significant topographic relief,
