SYSTEM NAME: 

Dwight David Eisenhower 

Transportation Fellowship Program. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Sensitive, unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

This system of records is in the Office 

of Professional and Corporate 

Development, Federal Highway 

Administration. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM OF RECORDS: 

This system contains information on 

students that participate in FHWA’s 

DDETFP. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The information in the system 

consists of documents related to the 

administration of the program that 

include the students’ name, home 

mailing address, e-mail address, date of 

birth, education records, home 

telephone number, race (optional), 

gender (optional), and citizenship. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement: Travis County, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 40 CFR 1508.22 

and 43 TAC § 2.5(e)(2), the FHWA and 

Texas Department of Transportation 

(TxDOT) are issuing this notice to 

advise the public that a limited-scope 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement (SEIS) will be prepared for a 

transportation project in Travis County, 

Texas. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Salvador Deocampo, District Engineer, 

District A, Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Texas 

Division, 300 East 8th Street, Rm 826, 

Austin, Texas 78701, Telephone 512–

536–5950. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA in cooperation with TxDOT will 

prepare a limited-scope SEIS for the 

proposed improvement of U.S. 290 from 

Ranch-to-Market Road (RM) 1826 to east 

of Williamson Creek, in Travis County, 

Texas. The limited scope SEIS will also 

include improvements to SH 71 from 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 159 / Friday, August 15, 2008 / Notices 48009 

Silvermine Drive to U.S. 290 in Travis 

County. The proposed improvements 

were originally considered in a Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) 

covering improvements to U.S. 290/SH 

71 from RM 1826 to Farm to Market 

(FM) 973. A Record of Decision (ROD) 

was issued by FHWA on August 22, 

1988. The mid-section of the original 

project limits, between east of 

Williamson Creek and Riverside Drive, 

has been constructed. Since the 

issuance of the U.S. 290/SH 71 ROD, the 

proposed design concept for the current 

project has changed as a result of 

changes in adjacent land use, State and 

federal listing of the Barton Springs 

salamander as endangered, changes in 

funding mechanisms to include tolling, 

a proposed shift in the alignment, and 

public input. The original FEIS will be 

supplemented to evaluate the changes 

in potential impacts from the proposed 

improvements. The proposed project 

limits of the U.S. 290/SH 71 limited 

scope SEIS would extend beyond the 

limits of the original FEIS to allow for 

a transition back to existing U.S. 290 

west of Scenic Brook Drive and along 

SH 71 at Silvermine Drive. The 

proposed project limits, including 

transitional area, cover approximately 

3.6 miles along U.S. 290 and 1.2 miles 

along SH 71. 

The project is listed in the Capital 

Area Metro Planning Organization 

(CAMPO) Mobility 2030 Plan, as 

amended, (the long-range transportation 

plan) as a six-lane tolled freeway west 

of Scenic Brook to east of Williamson 

Creek. The proposed action would 

include continuous non-tolled frontage 

roads with two to three lanes in each 

direction. The need for the proposed 

project, as stated in the 1988 FEIS, 

stems from congestion and low travel 

speeds caused by rapid population 

growth in the Austin metropolitan area. 

Crash data have also indicated safety 

concerns as a primary need for this 

project. Additionally, the economic 

growth of the U.S. 290/SH 71 corridor 

is dependent on the ability of the 

roadway network to accommodate both 

local trips created by recent nearby 

development as well as regional through 

traffic. In order to address these needs, 

the purpose of the proposed project is 

to increase traffic flow capacities and 

improve mobility in the roadway 

corridor while enhancing safety and 

system interconnectivity, in compliance 

with the adopted CAMPO Mobility 2030 

Plan. 

The SEIS will evaluate potential 

impacts from construction and 

operation of the proposed roadway 

including, but not limited to, the 

following: Transportation impacts 

(construction detours, construction 

traffic, and mobility improvement), air 

quality and noise impacts from 

construction equipment and operation 

of the facilities, water quality impacts 

from construction area and roadway 

storm water runoff, impacts to waters of 

the United States including wetlands 

from right-of-way encroachment, 

impacts to historic and archaeological 

resources, impacts to floodplains, and 

impacts and/or displacements to 

residents and businesses, land use, 

vegetation, wildlife, aesthetic and visual 

resources, socioeconomic resources, and 

cumulative and indirect impacts. 

Public involvement is a critical 

component of the project development 

process and will occur throughout the 

planning and study phases. A public 

scoping meeting is planned, but has not 

yet been scheduled. The purpose of the 

public scoping meeting is to solicit 

public comments on the proposed 

action as part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act process. 

Opportunities for public involvement 

would also exist during public meetings 

and public review of the draft SEIS. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

the appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies, and private organizations and 

citizens who have previously expressed 

or are known to have interest in this 

proposal. To ensure that the full range 

of issues related to this proposed action 

is 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 SEIS should be directed 

to FHWA at the address above.
