SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Tennessee 
Department of Transportation (TDOT), is rescinding the notice of intent 
to prepare an EIS for the proposed Southwest Dickson Bypass from US-70 
to State Route (SR) 46 and/or Interstate 40, in Dickson County,

    The FHWA approved the Draft EIS (DEIS) on August 8, 2011. The 
project as described in the DEIS proposed improvements to the SR 46 
corridor from the Interstate 40 interchange to US 70. The purpose of 
the project was to improve mobility through the City of Dickson. During 
the DEIS process TDOT conducted public involvement and agency 
coordination, developed a purpose and need for the project, and 
developed preliminary alternatives. The preliminary alternatives 
included a No-Build alternative, a Transportation System Management 
(TSM) alternative, and build alternatives that would involve 
constructing a roadway on new location to the west of the City of 
Dickson and SR 46.
    Based on the findings of the DEIS and public and agency input, FHWA 
and TDOT determined that the TSM alternative, which includes various 
improvements primarily along existing SR 46, would meet the purpose and 
need of the project and could be accomplished without significant 
adverse impacts to the environment. Proposed improvements may include 
the addition of turn lanes at intersections, synchronization of traffic 
signals, and installation of new traffic signals, if warranted. As 
such, FHWA and TDOT are rescinding the Notice of Intent to prepare an 
EIS and will evaluate the proposed TSM improvements as a Categorical 
Exclusion.
