access to and within the Charles River
Reservation. Proposed improvements
are needed within the project area due
to existing roadway deficiencies which
include a structurally deficient viaduct
on the Interstate 90 mainline and
substandard geometric elements on both
the mainline and within the
interchange; existing safety deficiencies
which include substantially higher than
average crash rates for the mainline and
the interchange; existing mobility
deficiencies which include a deficient
level-of-service within the interchange,
commuter rail limitations, lack of
multimodal connections, and
inadequate bicycle and pedestrian
facilities; and limited multimodal access
to the Charles River Reservation.
The EIS will evaluate a range of build
alternatives and a no-build alternative.
Possible build alternatives include
improvements to the roadway network
to incorporate improvements to transit,
rail, bus, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities.
The EIS will evaluate potential
impacts from construction and
operation of the proposed project,
including, but not limited to, the
following: Traffic impacts, air quality
and noise impacts; water quality
impacts including stormwater runoff;
impacts to waters of the United States;
impacts to floodplains; impacts to
historic and archaeological resources;
socio-economic impacts including
environmental justice and limited
English proficiency populations;
impacts to land use, vegetation and
wildlife; impacts to or potential
displacement of residents and
businesses; and impacts to aesthetic and
visual resources. Anticipated state and
Federal approvals may include, but are
not limited to, the following: United
States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act permit, USACE Section 10 of the
Rivers and Harbors Act Permit, United
States Coast Guard (USCG) Section 9
Bridge Permit, Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP) Section 401 Water Quality
Certification, MassDEP Chapter 91
License, MassDEP Wetlands Protection
Act Permit, Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation (ACHP) Section

(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2,
109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its

evaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR

Before OMB decides whether to
approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60
days after the 30-day notice is

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,
Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
best ensure having their full effect. 5
CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983,

Title: National Transit Database 49
U.S.C. Section 5335(a)(b).
OMB Control Number: 2132–0008.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
previously approved information
collection.
Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 5335(a) and (b)
requires the Secretary of Transportation
to maintain a reporting system, using a
uniform system of accounts, to collect
financial and operating information
from the nation’s public transportation
systems. Congress created the NTD to be
the repository of transit data for the
nation to support public transportation
service planning. FTA has established
the NTD to meet these requirements,
and has collected data for over 35 years.
The NTD is comprised of four modules,
Rural, Urban Annual, Monthly, and
Safety Event Reporting. FTA continues
to seek ways to reduce the burden of
NTD reporting. FTA has added upload/
download capabilities to the reporting
system and greatly reduced the
sampling required to certify Automatic
Passenger Counters for use in reporting
data to the NTD.
Respondents: State or local
governmental entities that operates a
public transportation service.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2,334.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
327,524.
