Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 28, 2011 / Notices

The
proposed action evaluated in the
Environmental Assessment (EA)
includes construction of a multi-use
trail facility following the Metro red line
from Fort Totten to Takoma and the
Metro green line from Fort Totten to the
District border.
This EA analyzed the potential
impacts resulting from constructing and
operating the MBT on sections of land
owned by the NPS within the area north
of Fort Totten (Reservation 451 West),
the area east of Fort Totten (Reservation
451 East), the Community Gardens
(Reservation 497), and Tacoma Park
(Reservation 531). Following the public
comment period, DDOT identified
Alternatives A1, B1, C1 and/or C2 as the
Preferred Alternatives.
The FHWA has determined that the
Preferred Alternative and options will
not have a significant impact on the
natural, human or built environment as
defined by CEQ. This Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is based on
the findings of the proposed project’s
Final EA, and comments submitted
during preparation of the EA. The Final
EA has been evaluated by the FHWA,
using CEQ regulations and FHWA and
NPS guidelines, and determined to
adequately discuss the need,
environmental issues, and impacts of
the proposed project and appropriate
mitigation measures. It provides
sufficient evidence and analysis for
determining that an environmental
impact statement is not required.

Notice and request for

ACTION:

In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice
announces that the Information
Collection abstracted below has been
forwarded to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and

Notice with a 60-day comment period

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Maritime

Title: MARAD Maritime Operator
Survey Concerning Mariner
Availability.
OMB Control Number: 2133–0537.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Vessel operating
companies representing different sectors
of the U.S. maritime industry.
Form(s): MA–1048.
Abstract: Part of the stated statutory
policy of the Merchant Marine Act,
1936, is to foster the development and
maintenance of an adequate U.S.-flag
merchant marine manned with trained
and efficient citizen personnel. In order
to successfully meet this mandate,
MARAD must determine whether a
current or projected shortage of
mariners exists and if there is an
operational or business impact on the
merchant marine. MARAD believes that
a brief preliminary survey is necessary
at this time because it has received an
abundance of anecdotal information
indicating that there is a serious existing
and projected mariner shortage in
different market sectors. If the
preliminary survey indicates that there
is a projected shortage that appears to be
more than short-term, MARAD will
follow-up with a more detailed survey
to analyze the shortage and ascertain the
best means to address it.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 33.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
these information collections to the

Affairs, Office of Management and
