13068 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 11, 2008 / Notices 

The plans suggest that the most effective 

method of handling transportation 

demand would be the addition of a Fox 

River bridge and connecting roadway 

segments. Federal, state and local 

agencies recognize the need to complete 

an environmental analysis to identify 

the best solutions to the projected travel 

demand issues. 

The study area for this EIS includes 

the Cities of Green Bay and DePere, the 

Villages of Allouez, Ashwaubenon, 

Bellevue, and Hobart, and the Towns of 

Lawrence, Rockland, Glenmore, and 

Ledgeview. 

Public involvement will be solicited 

throughout this process including 

involvement from minority and lowincome populations in the project study 

area to ensure that any construction in 

the area does not create 

disproportionately high and adverse 

environmental and health impacts to 

these communities. Public workshops 

and a series of public information 

meetings will be held during the project 

study. Public notice will be given as to 

the time and place of all workshops and 

public information meetings. All 

meetings and workshops will be held at 

accessible times and locations. In 

addition, a public hearing will be held 

after the Environmental Impact 

Statement has been prepared. 

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.

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

proposed collections of information. 

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can 

collect certain information from the 

public, it must receive approval from 

the Office of Management and budget 

(OMB). Under procedures established 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), before seeking OMB approval, 

Federal agencies must solicit public 

comment on proposed collections of 

information, including extensions and 

reinstatements of previously approved 

collections. This document describes 

one collection of information or which 

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 12, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to U.S. Department of Transportation 

Dockets, W12–140, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laurie Flaherty, Office of Emergency 

Medical Services, NTI–140, telephone 

(202) 366–2705, fax (202) 366–7721, 

NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, before an agency submits a 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for approval, it must first publish 

a document in the Federal Register 

providing a 60-day comment period and 

otherwise consult with members of the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

each proposed collection of information. 

OMB has promulgated regulations 

describing what must be included in 

such a document. Under OMB’s 

regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an 

agency must ask for public comment on 

the following: 

(i) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(iii) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(iv) How to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks for public 

comments on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: Enhance 911 (E9–1–1) Grant 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the 

approval date. 

Type of Request: New collection.

Affected Public: Eligible applicants as 

defined by the E9–1–1 Act of 2004. 

Form Number: HS–217. 

Abstract: U.S. Code Title 47, Chapter 

8, Subchapter III, Section 942 authorizes 

the establishment of a joint grant 

program between the Assistant 

Secretary of Commerce and the 

Administrator of the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

U.S. Department of Transportation to 

facilitate coordination among all parties 

involved in the organization of E9–1–1 

services and for the establishment of an 

E9–1–1 Implementation Coordination 

Office (ICO). The ICO shall develop, 

collect, and disseminate information 

concerning practices, procedures, and 

technology used in the implementation 

of E9–1–1 services. 

Eligibility for a section 942 grant is 

based upon the entity’s ability to certify 

in its application the following: (1) The 

entity has coordinated its application 

with the public safety answering points 

(PSAP’s); (2) The entity has designated 

a single officer or governmental body to 

serve as the coordinator of 

implementation of E9–1–1 services; (3) 

The entity has established a plan for the 

coordination of and implementation of 

E9–1–1 services; (4) The entity has 

integrated telecommunications services 

involved in the implementation of E9–

1–1 services; (5) No portion of any 

designated E9–1–1 charges imposed by 

a State or other taxing jurisdiction 

within which the applicant is located 

are being obligated or expected for any 

purpose other than the purposes for 

which such charges are designated 

during the period beginning 180 days 

immediately preceding the date of 

application and continuing though the 

period which the grant funds are 

available. 

The information collected for this 

grant program is to include application 

submissions and the certification 

requirements. An applicant that seeks to 

qualify must submit an application 

containing information demonstrating 

that it satisfies the grant criteria. With 

respect to each of the criteria selected, 

the proposed rule would require certain 

supporting submissions from the State 

to demonstrate that it meets grant 

criteria. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 5200 

hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

56. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

BILLING CODE 4910–59–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

[STB Docket No. AB–364 (Sub-No. 14X)] 

Mid-Michigan Railroad, Inc.—

Abandonment Exemption—in Kent, 

Ionia, and Montcalm Counties, MI 

On February 20, 2008, Mid-Michigan 

Railroad, Inc. (MMRR) filed with the 

Surface Transportation Board (Board) a 

petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 seeking 

an exemption from the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 10903 for the abandonment of a 

24.70-mile rail line between milepost 

103.20 at Lowell, MI, and milepost 

78.50, at Greenville, MI, at the end of 

the line in Kent, Ionia, and Montcalm 

Counties, MI. The line traverses United 

States Postal Service Zip Codes 48809, 

48838, 48887, and 49331 and includes 

the stations of Lowell, Belding, and 

Greenville. 

MMRR also seeks an exemption from 

the offer of financial assistance (OFA) 

procedures of 49 U.S.C. 10904. In 

support, MMRR states that it has 

entered into a Memorandum of 

Understanding to sell the line to West 

Michigan Trails and Greenway Coalition 

for interim trail use/rail banking. This 

request for exemption from the OFA 

provision will be addressed in the final 

decision. 

The line does not contain federally 

granted rights-of-way. Any 

documentation in MMRR’s possession 

will be made available promptly to 

those requesting it. 

The interest of railroad employees 

will be protected by the conditions set 

forth in Oregon Short Line R. Co.—

Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 

(1979). 

Petitioner indicates that the proposed 

abandonment may generate comments, 

and it requests that the Board adopt a 

procedural schedule to allow it to file 

rebuttal to any comments received. 

Instead of addressing the request at this 

time, the Board will instead allow 

petitioner to raise the matter again, if 

comments and replies in response to the 

petition are actually filed. Comments 

and replies to the petition for exemption 

will be due on March 31, 2008. Once 

comments and replies are filed, MMRR 

may request leave to file rebuttal. 

By issuance of this notice, the Board 

is instituting an exemption proceeding 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final 

decision will be issued by June 9, 2008. 

Any OFA under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) 

will be due no later than 10 days after 

service of a decision granting the 

petition for exemption, unless the Board 

grants the requested exemption from the 

OFA process. Each OFA must be 

accompanied by a $1,300 filing fee. See 

49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 

All interested persons should be 

aware that, following abandonment of 

rail service and salvage of the line, the 

line may be suitable for other public 

use, including interim trail use. Any 

request for a public use condition under 

49 CFR 1152.28 or for trail use/rail 

banking under 49 CFR 1152.29 will be 

due no later than March 31, 2008. Each 

trail use request must be accompanied 

by a $200 filing fee. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(27)(i). 

All filings in response to this notice 

must refer to STB Docket No. AB–364 

(Sub-No. 14X) and must be sent to: (1) 

Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423–

0001; and (2) Louis E. Gitomer, 600 

Baltimore Avenue, Suite 301, Towson, 

MD. Replies to the petition are due on 

or before March 31, 2008. 

Persons seeking further information 

concerning the abandonment 

procedures may contact the Board’s 

Office of Governmental and Public 

Affairs at (202) 245–0230 or refer to the 

full abandonment or discontinuance 

regulations at 49 CFR part 1152. 

Questions concerning environmental 

issues may be directed to the Board’s 

Section of Environmental Analysis 

(SEA) at (202) 245–0305. [Assistance for 

the hearing impaired is available 

through the Federal Information Relay 

Service at 1–800–877–8339.] 

An environmental assessment (EA) (or 

environmental impact statement (EIS), if 

necessary), prepared by SEA, will be 

served upon all parties of record and 

upon any agencies or other persons who 

commented during its preparation. 

Other interested persons may contact 

SEA to obtain a copy of the EA (or EIS). 

EAs in these abandonment proceedings 

normally will be made available within 

60 days of the filing of the petition. The 

deadline for submission of comments on 

the EA will generally be within 30 days 

of its service.
