in Maricopa County, Arizona.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT),
will prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) on proposed operational
improvements to the Interstate 17 (I–17)
corridor in Maricopa County, Arizona.
The proposed improvements for I–17
would occur along a 21-mile stretch of
highway through metropolitan Phoenix
from the I–17 merge with Interstate 10
near Sky Harbor Airport and extend
north to the I–17 interchange with State
Route 101L. The proposed project
evaluation will include, but will not be
limited to, potential impacts to
residential and commercial
development, cultural resources,
threatened and endangered species,
jurisdictional waters of the U.S., air and
noise quality, hazardous materials, and
secondary and cumulative impacts.
Improvements to the corridor are
considered necessary to address current
traffic volumes that exceed the existing
roadway capacity resulting in heavy
congestion and to accommodate the
projected traffic demand associated with
regional growth. The proposed I–17

improvements, which would increase
capacity and improve operational
efficiency, were identified as important
elements of the Maricopa Association of
Government’s Regional Transportation
Plan Freeway Program. A full range of
reasonable alternatives will be
considered including: (1) Taking no
action; (2) using alternate travel modes;
(3) making transportation system
management improvements; and (4)
widening the existing freeway to
provide additional general travel and
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
The EIS will conform to the
environmental review process
established in Section 6002 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: a Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU). The Section 6002
environmental review process requires
the following activities: the
identification and invitation of
cooperating and participating agencies;
the establishment of a coordination
plan; and opportunities for additional
agency and public comment on the

project’s purpose and need, alternatives
and methodologies for determining
impacts. Additionally, a public hearing
following the release of the draft ElS
will also be provided. Public notice
advertisements and direct mailings will
notify interested parties of the time and
place of public meetings and the public
hearing.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
