49472 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 25, 2017 / Notices 

related to roadway and interchange 

ramp embankment fill slopes and the 

need to eliminate fragmented residual 

parcels. Additionally, in an email dated 

July 28, 2017, the FHWA, Ohio 

Division, upon review of the project’s 

Interchange Modification Study, 

notified ODOT that the project’s 

preferred alternative constituted the 

creation of a new interchange, not a 

modification of the existing US 36/SR 

37 interchange. FHWA also determined 

that the preferred alternative is a partial 

interchange as a direct connection from 

I–71 southbound to Sunbury Parkway is 

not provided. As part of the required 

documentation to obtain FHWA 

approval of the interchange study, 

ODOT was required by FHWA to 

consider a full interchange that 

provided all movements, even though it 

would not be constructed. ODOT 

reconsidered the above changes and 

compared them to the findings in the 

EA. ODOT conducted additional studies 

as needed and summarized the 

coordination and findings in an 

Addendum to the EA, September 20, 

2017 Based upon ODOT’s review and 

consideration of the analysis and 

evaluation contained in the EA and the 

Addendum to the EA for this project, 

and after careful consideration of all 

social, economic, and environmental 

factors, including input from the state/ 

federal agencies, ODOT has determined 

that the changes contained within this 

document do not rise to the level of 

significance and therefore do not 

required the recirculation of the EA nor 

the creation of a supplemental EA 

document. 

The actions by the Federal agencies, 

and the laws under which such actions 

were taken, are described in the 

Environmental Assessment (EA), the 

Addendum to the EA, and the Finding 

on No Significant Impact (FONSI), 

approved on October 16, 2017. The EA, 

Addendum to the EA, FONSI, and other 

project records are available by 

contacting ODOT at the address 

provided above and can be viewed and

Background 

On September 12, 2017, DOT released 

Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A 

Vision for Safety and requested public 

comment. NHTSA has issued 2.0 as the 

next step on the path forward for the 

safe testing and deployment of ADSs. 

Together, the Voluntary Guidance for 

ADS and Technical Assistance to States 

serve to support industry, Government 

officials, safety advocates, and the 

public. By replacing the Federal 

Automated Vehicles Policy, 2.0 

responds to public comments, continues 

the voluntary guidance framework, and 

assures industry, the States, and the 

public that the Agency will remain a 

leader in innovation and safety. The full 

Automated Driving Systems 2.0: A 

Vision for Safety can be found at 

www.nhtsatransportation.gov/av.

Systems and Section 2: Technical 

Assistance to States. Input received at 

the public meeting will be used to make 

any necessary clarifications to 2.0, in 

support of its voluntary 

implementation. As appropriate, 

NHTSA will post clarification 

information on the NHTSA Web site in 

the Frequently Asked Questions section. 

The meeting agenda follows:

Advisory; Public Comment 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA) is in 

the process of reviewing the Traffic 

Records Program Assessment Advisory, 

DOT HS 811 644, (Advisory) and 

requests comments to determine if 

updates or improvements are 

appropriate. States need timely, 

accurate, complete, and uniform traffic 

records to identify and prioritize traffic 

safety issues and to choose appropriate 

safety countermeasures and evaluate 

their effectiveness. The Advisory 

provides information on the contents, 

capabilities, and data quality attributes 

of an effective traffic records system, 

and includes assessment questions that 

qualified independent assessors use to 

evaluate the capabilities of a State’s 

traffic records systems. Based on the 

input received in response to this 

notice, and NHTSA’s experience in 

applying the previous Advisory to 

conduct assessments in the past, we 

anticipate issuing a revised Advisory by 

June 2018. 

DATES: Written comments may be 

submitted to this agency and must be 

received no later than December 26, 

2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by DOT Docket ID number 

NHTSA–2017–0081 by any of the 

following methods:
