Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Regulation Project, 52954-52955 [E7-18285]

Download as PDF 52954 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 179 / Monday, September 17, 2007 / Notices Impact Statement for the Jackson South Segment (MP 141.3–148.6). The termini for this segment were deemed to have independent utility and logical termini because the alternatives under consideration will not require additional improvements or modification to the recently completed five-lane section south of Jackson or restrict consideration of alternatives at Hoback Junction. The Jackson South Segment primarily addresses travel demand, safety, and roadway deficiency needs, and includes construction of two Snake River crossings, two landslide areas, potential archaeological impacts and potential wetland impacts. The proposed alternatives will tie into the recently completed five-lane section south of Jackson, and will follow essentially the existing roadway alignment. FHWA and WYDOT have solicited public input throughout the EIS process. Notice of future public meetings and public hearing will continue to be given through various forums providing the time and place of the meeting along with other relevant information. The Draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the public hearing. Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48. Dated: September 11, 2007. Philip E.
