and/or Interstate 40, Dickson County,

Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of
Intent to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS).
AGENCY:

The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) is issuing this
notice to advise the public that the
Notice of Intent published on September
24, 2007 to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed
transportation project in Dickson
County, Tennessee, is being rescinded.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Theresa Claxton, Planning and Program
Management Team Leader, Federal
Highway Administration—Tennessee
Division Office, 404 BNA Drive, Suite

SUMMARY:

The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
Tennessee Department of
Transportation (TDOT), is rescinding
the notice of intent to prepare an EIS for
the proposed Southwest Dickson Bypass
from US–70 to State Route (SR) 46 and/
or Interstate 40, in Dickson County,
Tennessee. The proposed project was
approximately 9.7 miles in length.
The FHWA approved the Draft EIS
(DEIS) on August 8, 2011. The project as
described in the DEIS proposed
improvements to the SR 46 corridor
from the Interstate 40 interchange to US

improve mobility through the City of
Dickson. During the DEIS process TDOT
conducted public involvement and
agency coordination, developed a
purpose and need for the project, and
developed preliminary alternatives. The
preliminary alternatives included a NoBuild alternative, a Transportation
System Management (TSM) alternative,
and build alternatives that would
involve constructing a roadway on new
location to the west of the City of
Dickson and SR 46.
Based on the findings of the DEIS and
public and agency input, FHWA and
TDOT determined that the TSM
alternative, which includes various
improvements primarily along existing
SR 46, would meet the purpose and
need of the project and could be
accomplished without significant
adverse impacts to the environment.
Proposed improvements may include
the addition of turn lanes at
intersections, synchronization of traffic
signals, and installation of new traffic
signals, if warranted. As such, FHWA
and TDOT are rescinding the Notice of
Intent to prepare an EIS and will
evaluate the proposed TSM
improvements as a Categorical
Exclusion.
Comments and questions concerning
the proposed action should be directed
to FHWA at the address provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Background
Due to several recent fatal motorcoach
crashes, the Congress, the Department of
Transportation (DOT), specifically the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), and other
Federal oversight agencies, including
NTSB, have increased their scrutiny
over the motorcoach industry and the
enforcement and compliance of the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs). On February 26,
1999, NTSB issued safety
recommendation H–99–8 to DOT,
requiring motorcoach operators to
provide passengers with pre-trip safety
awareness information. This
recommendation resulted from NTSB’s
investigation of two motorcoach crashes
from the late 1990s which revealed that
passengers felt a general sense of panic
not knowing what to do on a
motorcoach in the case of an emergency.
The intent of the recommendation is to
empower passengers to take their
personal safety into their own hands in
the event of an imminent hazardous or
emergency situation. The FMCSA

decided to implement the
recommendation through voluntary
adoption and compliance of pre-trip
safety briefings in the motorcoach
industry.
The goals and objectives of this
survey are to assess the current levels of
voluntary compliance by motorcoach
operators and to obtain passenger
opinions of the implementation of the
pre-trip safety awareness and emergency
preparedness information. The Form
MCSA–5868 will be used to survey
motorcoach passengers. This
information, along with its conclusions,
will be used to inform future initiatives,
policies, and rules as appropriate; will
be presented to NTSB and Congress; and
will contribute to the general literature
regarding practices for improving
motorcoach safety in the United States.

Awareness and Emergency
Preparedness Information.

Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
