[Federal Register: September 4, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 171)]
[Notices]              
[Page 45900-45901]

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

Surface Transportation Environment and Planning Cooperative
Research Program (STEP)

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 5207 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) established
the Surface Transportation Environment and Planning Cooperative
Research Program (STEP). The FHWA anticipates that resources for STEP
or a similar program to carry out national research on issues related
to planning, environment, and realty are likely to be included in
future surface transportation legislation even though SAFETEA-LU
expires at the end of this fiscal year. Legislation preceding SAFETEA-
LU--the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-
21)--provided resources for FHWA to carry out surface transportation
research initiatives that included planning, environment, and realty
research. SAFETEA-LU continued FHWA's research program funding and
established STEP.
    The purpose of this notice is to announce the proposed FY 2010 STEP
implementation strategy in anticipation that the FHWA is likely to
receive resources for national research on issues related to
environment and planning as a part of future transportation legislation
and to request suggested lines of research for FY 2010 via the STEP Web
site at: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/step/index.htm. Stakeholder
feedback from the STEP Web site provides useful research ideas and
helps to prevent redundant areas of research, saving valuable research
funds.

DATES: Suggestions for lines of research should be submitted to the
STEP Web site on or before December 3, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Felicia Young, Office of Interstate
and Border Planning, (202) 366-1263, Felicia.young@dot.gov; or Grace
Reidy, Office of the Chief Counsel, (202) 366-6226; Federal Highway
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.
