interchanges, grade separations, and
access roads (which include new roads,
road relocations, and realignments). The
FHWA had previously issued a Tier 1
FEIS and ROD for the entire I–69 project
from Evansville to Indianapolis,
Indiana. A Notice of Limitation on
Claims for Judicial Review of Actions by
FHWA and United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), DOI, was
published in the Federal Register on
April 17, 2007. A claim seeking judicial
review of the Tier 1 decisions must have
been filed by October 15, 2007, to avoid
being barred under 23 U.S.C. 139(l).
Decisions in the FHWA Tier 1 ROD that
were cited in that Federal Register
notice included, but were not limited to,
the following:
1. Purpose and need for the project.
2. Range of alternatives for analysis.
3. Selection of the Interstate highway
build alternative and highway corridor
for the project, as Alternative 3C.
4. Elimination of other alternatives
from consideration in Tier 2 NEPA
proceedings.
5. Process for completing the Tier 2
alternatives analysis and studies for the
project, including the designation of six
Tier 2 sections and a decision to prepare
a separate environmental impact
statement for each Tier 2 section.
The Tier 1 ROD and Notice
specifically noted that the ultimate
alignment of the highway within the
corridor, and the location and number
of interchanges and rest areas would be
evaluated in the Tier 2 NEPA
proceedings. Those proceedings for
section 4 of the I–69 project from
Evansville to Indianapolis have
culminated in the September 8, 2011,
ROD and this Notice. Interested parties
may consult the Tier 2, section 4 ROD
and FEIS for details about each of the
decisions described above and for
information on other issues decided.
The Tier 2, section 4 ROD can be
viewed and downloaded from the
project Web site at https://
www.i69indyevn.org/. People unable to
access the Web site may contact FHWA
or INDOT at the addresses listed above.
Decisions in the section 4, Tier 2 ROD
that have final approval include, but are
not limited to, the following: 1. National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) [42
U.S.C. 4321–4351]. 2. Endangered

Previous actions taken by the USFWS
for the Tier 1, I–69 project, pursuant to
the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C.
1531–1544, included its concurrence
with the FHWA’s determination that the
I–69 project was not likely to adversely
affect the eastern fanshell mussel
(Cyprogenia stegaria) and that the
project was likely to adversely affect,
but not jeopardize, the bald eagle. The
USFWS also concluded that the project
was not likely to jeopardize the
continued existence of the Indiana bat
and was not likely to adversely modify
the bat’s designated Critical Habitat.
These USFWS decisions were described
in the Programmatic Biological Opinion
issued on December 3, 2003, the
Revised Programmatic Biological
Opinion issued on August 24, 2006, and
other documents in the Tier 1 project
records. A Notice of Limitation on
Claims for Judicial Review of these
actions and decisions by the USFWS,
DOI, was published in the Federal
Register on April 17, 2007. The USFWS
affirmed its decisions in the
Amendment to the Revised
Programmatic Biological Opinion issued
on May 25, 2011. A Notice of Limitation
on Claims for Judicial Review of these
actions and decisions by the USFWS,
DOI, was published in the Federal
Register on July 20, 2011. A claim
seeking judicial review of the
Amendment to the Revised
Programmatic Biological Opinion must
be filed by January 17, 2012, to avoid
being barred under 23 U.S.C. 139(l).
For the Tier 2, section 4, 26.7 mile I–
69 project in Greene and Monroe
Counties, an individual Biological
Opinion was issued on July 6, 2011, that
concluded that the section 4 project was
not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the Indiana bat and was not
likely to adversely modify the bat’s
designated Critical Habitat. In addition,
the USFWS issued an Incidental Take
Statement subject to specified terms and
conditions. The USFWS also issued a
Bald Eagle Take Exempted Under ESA
permit (No. MB218918–0) for the
incidental take of the bald eagles for all
sections of the I–69 project. The permit
was effective as of June 25, 2009, and is
subject to the terms and conditions of
the Endangered Species Act section 7
incidental take statement and the
August 24, 2006, Revised Programmatic
Biological Opinion. The biological
opinions, Bald Eagle permit no.
MB218918–0, and other project records
relating to the USFWS actions, taken
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act,
16 U.S.C. 1531–1544, are available by
