SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the FHWA has taken
final agency action subject to 23 U.S.C.
139 (l)(1) by issuing a decision for the
following highway project in the State
of North Carolina: U.S. 64
Improvements, Federal Aid No. NHF–
64(19), Randolph County, North
Carolina. This project identified a need
to address capacity constraints and
safety considerations on the current U.S.
64 in Asheboro, North Carolina. The
proposed action will improve 14 miles
of U.S. Highway 64 from just east of SR
1424 (Stutts Road) to 0.6 miles east of
SR 2345 (Presnell Street). The selected
alternative (Alternative 29) constructs a
four-lane, median divided facility with
full access control on new location as
well as a two-lane parkway facility
known as the Zoo Connector. The
actions by the Federal agencies, and the
laws under which such actions were
taken, are described in the Abbreviated
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the project, approved on May
12, 2007, in the FHWA Record of
Decision (ROD) issued on December 6,
2007, and in other documents in the
FHWA administrative record. The FEIS,
ROD, and other documents in the
FHWA administrative record file are

Registered motor carriers (including
private carriers) and freight forwarders
must designate: (1) An agent on whom
service of notices in proceedings before
the Secretary may be made (49 U.S.C.
13303); and (2) for every State in which
they operate and traverse in the United
States during such operations, agents on
whom process issued by a court may be
served in actions brought against the
registered transportation entity (49
U.S.C. 13304). Every broker shall make
a designation for each State in which its
offices are located or in which contracts
are written. Regulations governing the
designation of process agents are found
at 49 CFR part 366. This designation is
filed with the FMCSA on Form BOC–3,
‘‘Designation of Agent for Service of

Respondents: Motor carriers, freight
forwarders and brokers.
