the analyses contained in the Re-evaluation, Caltrans has made the 
determination that the existing FEIS is still valid and the preparation 
of a SEIS is not warranted and will therefore not be undertaken.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Caltrans conducted a Re-evaluation of the

including allowing the construction contractor to use city streets 
during construction of the project.
    The purpose of the Re-evaluation was to examine potential 
environmental impacts resulting from the new information and proposed 
changes to the Willits Bypass Project and in order to determine whether 
the FEIS was still valid or whether a SEIS should be prepared in 
accordance with 40 CFR 1502.9(c). Based upon the Re-evaluation, 
Caltrans made the determination that preparation of a SEIS was not 
warranted and would not be undertaken (Caltrans made the determination 
in January 2014).

determination to not undertake a SEIS will be barred if the claim is
