focus will include land use and 

economic development impacts and 

benefits, transit, parking and traffic 

operations impacts, service to 

environmental justice populations, 

cultural resource impacts and impacts 

associated with a potentially new 

Missouri River crossing. 

The EIS will take into account both 

short-term construction-related impacts 

and long-term impacts associated with 

operation of the transit system. The EIS 

will identify measures to avoid or 

mitigate adverse environmental and 

community impacts. 

To ensure that all significant issues 

related to this proposed action are 

identified and addressed, comments and 

suggestions are invited from all 

interested parties on the impact areas to 

be studied and the methodologies. 

Comments and questions should be 

directed to KCATA as noted in the 

ADDRESSES section above. 

V. FTA Procedures 

KCATA is seeking FTA financial 

assistance provided by 49 United States 

Code (U.S.C.) § 5309 to construct the 

proposed project and will, therefore, be 

subject to the regulation at 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 611 

related to such New Starts projects. The 

New Starts regulation requires that an 

Alternatives Analysis be conducted to 

support a local decision on the preferred 

alternative that is then incorporated into 

the official metropolitan transportation 

plan adopted by MARC. KCATA and 

FTA propose to perform the 

Alternatives Analysis (AA) and 

preparation of the draft EIS together and 

produce an AA/DEIS document. The 

AA/DEIS will be distributed for public 

and agency review and a public hearing 

will be held. KCATA and MARC will 

select a locally preferred alternative 

based on the AA/DEIS and the public 

and agency comments received. 

Following selection of the locally 

preferred alternative and its adoption by 

MARC into the transportation plan, 

KCATA will seek FTA approval to 

initiate preliminary engineering (PE) of 

that alternative. The NEPA review will 

be completed during PE with 

publication of the final EIS. 

The EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with the NEPA 

implementing regulations issued by the 

Council on Environmental Quality (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508) and with the 

FTA/Federal Highway Administration 

regulations ‘‘Environmental Impact and 

Related Procedures’’ (23 CFR part 771). 

In accordance with 23 CFR 771.105(a) 

and 771.133, KCATA and FTA will 

comply with all Federal environmental 

laws, regulations, and executive orders 

applicable to the proposed project to the 

maximum extent possible during the 

environmental review process. These 

requirements include, but are not 

limited to, the environmental and 

public hearing provisions of Federal 

transit laws (49 U.S.C. 5323(b) and 

5324(b)); the project-level air quality 

conformity regulation of the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

(40 CFR part 93); the section 404(b)(1) 

guidelines of EPA (40 CFR part 230); the 

regulation implementing section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act 

(36 CFR part 800); the regulation 

implementing section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act (50 CFR part 

402); section 4(f) of the Department of 

Transportation Act (23 CFR 771.135); 

and Executive Orders 12898 on 

environmental justice, 11988 on 

floodplain management, and 11990 on 

protection of wetlands.

2007 [Vol. 72 FR 64275]. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before February 22, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, 

before seeking OMB approval, Federal 

agencies must solicit public comment 

on proposed collections of information, 

including extensions and reinstatement 

of previously approved collections.

OMB Number: 2127–0616. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Under Chapter 301 of Title 

49 of the United States Code, 

manufacturers of motor vehicles and 

items of motor vehicle equipment are 

periodically required to submit certain 

information to NHTSA, including 

information about claims and notices 

about deaths and serious injury, 

property damage data, communications 

to customers and others, and 

information on incidents resulting in 

fatalities or serious injuries from 

possible defects in vehicles or 

equipment in the United States or in 

identical or substantially similar 

vehicles or equipment in foreign 

countries. The statute also authorizes 

NHTSA to require the submission of 

other data that may assist in the 

identification of safety-related defects in 

vehicles and equipment. Information 

and documents submitted are intended 

to provide NHTSA with ‘‘early 

warning’’ of potential safety related 

defects in motor vehicles and motor 

vehicle equipment. NHTSA relies on the 

information provided (as well as other 

relevant information) in deciding 

whether to open safety defect 

investigations. Please note that the 

currently approved ICR, ‘‘Reporting of 

Information About Foreign Safety 

Recalls and Campaigns Related to 

Potential Defects’’ (OMB Control 

Number 2127–0620) is incorporated 

with this request for collections. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers of 

motor vehicles and motor vehicle 

equipment sold in the U.S. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

annual burden is estimated to be 82,381 

hours. The estimated annual cost is 

$8,916,602.

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
