be consistent, however, with the 

shoreline appearance in other locations 

and therefore would not be significant. 

Alternative B would, however, provide 

some environmental benefits. These 

benefits include reducing shoreline 

erosion at locations where the riprap 

stabilization measures are placed and 

completion of Brightwater Park 

providing accessible public land and 

recreation resources as was originally 

intended with the 2003 decision. 

Amended Decision 

TVA has decided to amend the 

September 2003 ROD to incorporate the 

approval of Alternative B—Section 26a 

Permit Approval. The rationale for 

approving Alternative B is consistent 

with the rationale provided in the 

September 2003 ROD. The changes to 

the original proposal described in 

Alternative B achieves both WindRiver’s 

objectives for development of the 

residential and recreational community 

and TVA’s overall goals for providing 

recreational opportunities in the 

Tennessee Valley. Environmental 

impacts associated with Alternative B 

would be minor and slightly greater 

than impacts associated with 

Alternative A. 

Mitigation Measures 

The September 2003 ROD lists 

mitigation measures associated with the 

2003 Rarity Pointe FEIS. These 

mitigation measures remain in effect 

across the development. TVA has 

identified the following 2003 mitigation 

measures to be specifically applicable to 

the current proposed actions related to 

the stabilization measures and 

Brightwater Park: 

• Fully shielded light fixtures or 

those with internal low-glare optics (so 

no light is emitted from the fixture at 

angles above the horizon) will be used 

in the development. This commitment 

would also apply to the actions at 

Brightwater Park. 

• Any future facilities or equipment 

subject to flood damage will be located 

at or above elevation of 820 feet. 

• Any future development proposed 

within the limits of the 100-year 

floodplain, elevation 816.7 feet MSL, 

will be consistent with the requirements 

of EO 11988. 

• All future development will be 

consistent with the requirements of 

TVA’s Flood Control Storage Loss 

Guideline. 

• WindRiver will continue to mitigate 

impacts to wetlands (W4 and W5) in the 

vicinity of Brightwater Park by 

implementing the wetland mitigation 

plan in Appendix C of the 2003 Rarity 

Pointe FEIS. 

TVA has identified the following new 

mitigation measures associated with the 

implementation of the Brightwater Park 

SEA Alternative B—Section 26a Permit 

Approval. 

• No flood-damageable facilities or 

equipment would be located within the 

Brightwater Park grand lawn. The lawn 

would be kept as a grassy area which 

would not be expected to incur damage 

during a flood. 

• The switch on the irrigation pump 

would be located at or above an 

elevation of 820 feet. 

• The minimum amount of rip-rap 

would be used while still meeting 

project objectives. 

• The Brightwater Park sun shelter 

will remain open to the elements and 

may never be enclosed in the future. 

Any flood-damageable equipment stored 

in the sun shelter will be elevated to or 

above elevation 820 feet. 

• For purposes of shoreline bank 

stabilization, all portions will be 

constructed or placed, on average, no 

more than two feet from the existing 

shoreline at normal summer pool 

elevation. 

• For all electrical services permitted, 

including the electrical plug, a 

disconnect must be located at or above 

elevation 818.1 that is accessible during 

flooding. 

• The floor elevation of the fixed 

courtesy pier will be a minimum of 2.0 

feet above the normal summer pool 

elevation 813.0. 

• The applicant should contact the 

local government official(s) to ensure 

that this facility complies with all 

applicable local floodplain regulations. 

• Any excess excavated material not 

needed to grade Edgewater Road and the 

parking lot will be disposed of and 

contained on land lying and being above 

the 816.7-foot contour. Every precaution 

will be taken to prevent the reentry of 

the spoil material into the reservoir. 

• In the stabilization areas, the only 

trees that would be removed are those 

already undermined and actively falling 

into the adjacent water. No trees greater 

than 3 inches in diameter at breast 

height would be removed. 

• A vegetated buffer zone of at least 

50 feet will be retained by TVA and 

maintained along the shoreline from the 

summer pool level in order to maintain 

continuity on the site, and reduce 

possible impacts to water quality and 

wetlands. 

• If the reservoir falls below the 

elevation of the intake, the applicant 

will be responsible for finding another 

source of raw water. 

• Cultural resource site 40LD29 

would be avoided for all construction 

activities. TVA would place a 

commitment within the permit that 

states that in the vicinity of cultural 

resource site 40LD346, rip-rap would be 

placed from the beach with no 

equipment allowed on top of the site 

and no bank shaping would be done. In 

addition, TVA would require that an 

archaeological monitor be present while 

work is being conducted in that area.

Blackmore, Staff Director, Positive Train 

Control Division, at (312) 835–3903 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In its 

PTCSP, PNWR asserts that its E–ATC 

system is designed as a vital overlay 

positive train control (PTC) system as 

defined in 49 CFR 236.1015(e)(2). The 

PTCSP describes PNWR’s E–ATC 

implementation and the associated E– 

ATC safety processes, safety analyses, 

and test, validation, and verification 

processes used during the development 

of E–ATC. The PTCSP also contains 

PNWR’s operational and support 

requirements and procedures. 

PNWR’s PTCSP and the 

accompanying request for approval and 

system certification are available for 

review online at http://

www.regulations.gov (Docket Number 

FRA–2010–0073) and in person at 

DOT’s Docket Operations Facility, 1200

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the PTCSP by submitting 

written comments or data. During its 

review of the PTCSP, FRA will consider 

any comments or data submitted. 

However, FRA may elect not to respond 

to any particular comment and, under 

49 CFR 236.1009(d)(3), FRA maintains 

the authority to approve or disapprove 

the PTCSP at its sole discretion. FRA 

does not anticipate scheduling a public 

hearing regarding PNWR’s PTCSP 

because the circumstances do not 

appear to warrant a hearing. If any 

interested party desires an opportunity 

for oral comment, the party should 

notify FRA in writing before the end of 

the comment period and specify the 

basis for his or her request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

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 request 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: Automated Driving Systems 2.0: 

A Vision for Safety. 

Type of Request: Modification of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

OMB Clearance Number: 2127–0723.
