may be necessary to have some measure of anti-counterfeiting incorporated.
Format and design of the decals has not been determined and suggestions are open 
to review. Prior stickers have been manufactured in book form and this method is 
still open for review. Pad form and roll form are also being considered. 
Information concerning design, size, ink colors, etc., is being requested.
The TDCJ validation sticker plant currently has the equipment listed as follows.

concerning equipment that might be necessary to accomplish this project is also

letterpress printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, screen printing, 
and hot stamp printing.
The validation sticker plant currently employs six industrial supervisors as

Texas Department of Transportation
Notice of Intent
Pursuant to Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, sec.11.88, concerning 
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), the Texas Department of Transportation 
(TxDOT) is issuing this notice to advise the public than an environmental impact 
statement will be prepared for a proposed highway project in Harris County.
The TxDOT, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will 
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposal to improve 
Interstate Highway 610 (IH 610W) in Harris County. The proposed improvement 
would involve the reconstruction of the existing IH 610W from the vicinity of 
West Belfort Street to US 290 in the vicinity of Dacoma Avenue and IH 610N at 
West T. C. Jester Boulevard, a distance of approximately 9.2 miles.
Improvements to the corridor are considered necessary to provide for the 
existing and projected traffic demand. Included in this proposal is the 
construction of dedicated express lanes between US 59S (Southwest Freeway) 
through the IH 10W (Katy Freeway) interchange and continuing to US 290 
(Northwest Freeway). Alternatives under consideration include: taking no action; 
widen freeway, with elevated express lanes between US 59S and US 290; and widen 
freeway with at-grade express lanes from south of IH 10W, transitioning into 
elevated express lanes from south of IH 10W interchange to US 290/IH 610N. 
Incorporated into and studied with various build alternatives will be design 
variations of grade and alignment.
Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will be sent to 
appropriate federal, state, and local agencies, and to private organizations and 
citizens who have previously expressed or are known to have interest in this 
proposal. A public meeting will be held in the City of Houston on November 26, 
1991. In addition, a public hearing will be held. Public notice will be given of 
the time and place of the meeting and hearing. The draft EIS will be available 
for public and agency review and comment prior to the public hearing. No formal 
scoping meeting is planned at this time.
To insure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action are 
addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and suggestions are 
invited from all interested parties.
Agency Contact. Comments or questions concerning this proposed action and the 
EIS should be directed to Kenneth C. Bohuslav, P.E., Texas Department of 
Transportation, Division of Highway Design, 125 East 11th Street, Austin, Texas
