Environmental Impact Statement:

Contra Costa County, California

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that a draft

environmental impact statement will be

prepared for a proposed highway project

in Contra Costa County, California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. John Schultz, Chief, District

Operations-A, Federal Highway

Administration, 980 9th Street, Suite

400, Sacramento, California 95814–

2724, Telephone: (916) 498–5041.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

California Department of Transportation

(Caltrans), will prepare a draft

environmental impact (EIS) for a

proposal to improve State Route 4

between I–80 and the Cummings

Skyway in Contra Costa County, a

distance of about 8 kilometers.

Improvements are considered necessary

to improve operation and safety, and

relieve congestion.

Alternatives under consideration

include (1) taking no action, (2)

constructing a new four-lane freeway,

and (3) constructing a four-lane divided

highway. Incorporated into and studied

with various build alternatives will be

design variations of grade and

alignment. Transportation System

Management strategies will be

considered in conjunction with build

alternatives.

Letters 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 previously

expressed or are known to have interest

in this proposal. A scoping meeting will

be held in Hercules, California. In

addition, a public hearing will be held

when the draft EIS is completed. Public

notice will be given of the time and

place of the meeting and hearing. The

draft EIS 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 or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to the FHWA at the address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Many

countries and international transport

organizations throughout the world

have adopted the standards of the

IAEA’s ‘‘Regulations for the Safe

Transport of Radioactive Material’’

(Safety Series No. 6). The Hazardous

Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR

Parts 171–180) permit the import and

export of radioactive materials, under

certain conditions, if packages are

prepared for shipment in accordance

with the IAEA regulations. The HMR for

domestic transportation are periodically

amended to achieve consistency with

most of the IAEA regulations. This most

recent draft of the IAEA regulations was

prepared in January 1995. It is the result

of many meetings at the IAEA since

1987 in which representatives from

member nations proposed and reviewed

needed changes to improve

effectiveness of regulation for

radioactive materials transportation.

The IAEA transport regulations are

considered by the UN Committee on the

Transport of Dangerous Goods as the

standards to be followed for the

international transportation of Class 7

hazardous materials. For many years,

the International Civil Aviation

Organization (ICAO), ‘‘Technical

Instructions for the Safe Transport of

Dangerous Goods by Air’’ and the

International Maritime Organization

(IMO), ‘‘International Maritime

Dangerous Goods Code’’ have
