ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that 11 States have rescinded Notices of Intent (NOI) to prepare 19 Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for proposed highway projects. FHWA Division Offices, in consultation with the State Departments of Transportation (State DOT), determined that 15 of these projects were no longer viable projects and have formally cancelled the projects. No resources will be expended on these projects; the environmental review process has been terminated. Four projects in four States have been reduced in scope and now meet the criteria for an Environmental Assessment (EA) rather than an EIS, or a revised NOI will be issued restarting the EIS process.
