Federal Highway Administration
Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent
and Draft Environmental Impact
Statement: Highway 35, Between
Norfolk and South Sioux City, NE
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice to rescind a Notice of
Intent and Draft Environmental Impact
Statement.
AGENCY:
The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that we are
rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI)
and Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) for improvements that
were proposed for the Highway 35
Corridor from Norfolk to South Sioux
City (N35) in Nebraska [DPS–35–
4(119)]. The NOI was published in the
Federal Register on March 4, 2002, and
the DEIS availability was published in
the Federal Register on January 11,
2008. This rescission is based on a lack
of available funding for the full corridor
proposal, which led to a reduction in
scope to focus on the area of more
defined need within the Norfolk area.
The reduction in scope has brought the
proposed action below the threshold of
an EIS.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:55 Jul 13, 2011
Jkt 223001
Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR),
is rescinding the NOI and DEIS for a
proposal to improve N–35 between
Norfolk and South Sioux City in
Madison, Stanton, Wayne, Dixon, and
Dakota Counties in Nebraska. The
previous proposed action, described in
the 2008 DEIS, was to upgrade the
existing two lane, 70 mile rural highway
to a four lane divided highway on
partially new alignment. The NOI is
being rescinded in large part due to
funding constraints, which led to a
reduction of scope to focus on the more
imminent N–35 needs within the
Norfolk area only. The current proposed
actions would improve the capacity of
N–35 within Norfolk, from the junction
of N–35 with US 275 to Nucor Road,
and would improve the intersection of
N–35 with Norfolk Avenue and Victory
Road. NDOR will be holding a public
meeting to solicit community input on
the new proposal, which will be
advertised through the local media.
Given the reduction in scope and the
associated potential impacts of the
proposed action, FHWA intends to
prepare a lower-level NEPA document
to determine if the project has the
potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment. If, at
a future time, FHWA determines that
the proposed action is likely to have a
significant impact on the environment,
a new NOI to prepare an EIS will be
published.
Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS
was prepared pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq., the Council on Environmental
Quality NEPA implementing
regulations, 40 CFR Parts 1500–1508,
and the FRA NEPA procedures, 64 FR
28545 (May 26, 1999). FRA is the lead
Federal agency and the Mississippi
Department of Transportation (MDOT)
is the lead State agency. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
included the DEIS in the Notice of
Availability (NOA) published on June
24, 2011.
The DEIS evaluates the environmental
impacts of the Tupelo, Mississippi
Railroad Relocation Project, through
which MDOT proposes to relocate an
existing BNSF Railway Company
(BNSF) main line. Currently, the BNSF
line runs at grade and through several
busy intersections in the City of Tupelo.
The purpose of the Project is to improve
mobility and safety by reducing
roadway congestion caused by the
operation of BNSF trains through the
City, particularly at the intersection of
Main Street (US 278/MS 6) and Gloster
Street (MS 145). The build alternatives
considered included operational
improvements, alternative corridors,
and in-town options such as railroad
and highway grade separations.
Through the alternatives development
process, an elevated rail viaduct with a
relocated interchange yard was
considered to be the only reasonable
build alternative and, therefore, was
brought forward for detailed study.
Potential environmental impacts of
the No-Build Alternative include noise,
safety and mobility impacts, while the
primary impacts of the Build
Alternative include high construction
costs, and impacts to farmlands, cultural
and historic resources, streams,
floodplains and utilities. Mitigation
strategies are described to avoid or
minimize potential impacts. Such
strategies would be further refined in
subsequent environmental review.
Availability of the DEIS
MDOT has placed copies of the Draft
EIS and appendices at the following
locations:
Tupelo City Hall, 71 East Troy Street,
Tupelo, MS 38804.
