Environmental Impact Statement:
Rockingham and Hillsborough
Counties, New Hampshire
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public of its intent
to prepare a supplemental
environmental impact statement (SEIS)
in cooperation with the New Hampshire
Department of Transportation for the
proposed improvements to Interstate 93
in Rockingham and Hillsborough
Counties, New Hampshire.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Jamison S. Sikora, Environmental and
Right of Way Programs Manager, New
Hampshire Division, Federal Highway
Administration, 19 Chenell Drive, Suite
One, Concord, NH 03301, Tel. (603)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
EIS (FEIS) for the I–93 improvements
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(FHWA–NH–EIS–02–01–F) was
approved on April 28, 2004 and the
FHWA Record of Decision (ROD) issued
on June 28, 2005. The proposed
improvements to this approximately
19.8-mile segment of the Interstate 93
corridor between Salem and
Manchester, New Hampshire provide
for widening the existing four lane
Interstate highway to eight lanes,
improvements at each of the five
interchange locations along this segment
of highway, and addressing existing
geometric deficiencies. Improvements to
the corridor are considered necessary to
improve transportation efficiency and
reduce safety deficiencies.
The SEIS will supplement the April
2004 FEIS for the I–93 Salem to
Manchester project, which was the
subject of litigation and a court decision
in Conservation Law Foundation v.
Federal Highway Administration, et. al.
(U.S. District Court for the District of
New Hampshire, Case no.: 1:06–cv–45).
In accordance with the court’s decision
rendered in August 2007, FHWA will
prepare an SEIS that specifically
considers how the Delphi Panel’s
population forecasts affect the analysis
of both the effectiveness of the Selected
Alternative as a traffic congestion
reduction measure and the indirect
effects of the additional population
predicted by those forecasts on
secondary road traffic and air quality
issues. The court ruled in favor of
FHWA and the NHDOT regarding the
plaintiff’s remaining alleged FEIS
deficiencies. Therefore, the SEIS will be
of limited scope with the purpose of
determining whether the FHWA’s 2005
ROD regarding the Selected Alternative
remains reasonable once the narrow
issues enumerated in the court’s
memorandum opinion are thoroughly
examined and considered. Additionally,
the FEIS will be re-evaluated to
determine if any other information
should be updated and revised as part
of the SEIS process in accordance with
FHWA’s NEPA regulations at 23 CFR
771.129.
In accordance with 23 CFR 771.130(d)
and 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4), scoping will
not be reinitiated for the project. 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. Public meetings will be
held during development of the SEIS. In
addition, a public hearing will be held.
Public notice will be given of the time
and place of the meetings and hearing.
The draft supplemental EIS will be
available for public and agency review

and comment prior to the public
hearing.
To ensure 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.
Any comments that are received during
the public comment period that address
the issues for which the SEIS is being
prepared will be considered before
FHWA renders its decision regarding
the existing selected alternative. Any
comments that are received which
address issues which the court has
already determined have been
adequately addressed will be reviewed
but not considered unless they raise
significant new information.
Comments or questions concerning
the development of the SEIS should be
directed to the FHWA and/or NHDOT at
the addresses provided above.
Preparation of the SEIS does not require
the withdrawal of any previous
approvals or documents.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public of its

the proposed improvements to Interstate 93 in Rockingham and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final EIS (FEIS) for the I-93
improvements (FHWA-NH-EIS-02-01-F) was approved on April 28, 2004 and
the FHWA Record of Decision (ROD) issued on June 28, 2005. The proposed
