SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Transportation, the National Park Service and impacted counties initiated preparation of a study to identify and study alternative means of transportation for vehicular traffic currently using the two main public roadways (VA Routes 29 and 234) running through the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The preferred alternative would utilize the proposed Bi-County Parkway alignment (as independently proposed by VDOT) with a new roadway located outside but adjacent to the park’s east and north boundary as a full corridor (for Routes 29 and 234) Battlefield Bypass. The NOI for the previously notified EIS is being rescinded due to funding constraints for the proposed new road alignments proposed by the Draft EIS. A lack of funding and withdrawal of local planning approval for the Bi-County Parkway make it impossible to create a complete Battlefield Bypass without this essential roadway segment.

The NOI was published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2006. A draft EIS was released in January 2012. This rescission is based on a lack of available funding for the full corridor proposals and has led to identification of numerous individual projects of independent utility.

The study limits were generally between South Capitol Street in DC and Arlington Ridge Road in Arlington County, VA. The NOI was noticed in the Federal Register on July 18, 2006. The NOI for this EIS is being rescinded due to funding restraints that have led to a reduced set of separate projects with independent utility. Several of the proposed separate projects would today likely qualify as Categorical Exclusions. Anticipated funding for several of the proposed actions/alternatives could be provided by DDOT and VDOT but they have yet to do so. Comments or questions concerning the rescission of this NOI and the EIS should be directed to the FHWA at the address provided above. Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Issued on: January 31, 2018.

Fairfax, Fauquier and Prince William Counties, VA

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Rescind notice of intent to prepare an EIS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that the 
Notice of Intent (NOI) for the preparation of an EIS to identify and 
study alternative means of transportation for traffic currently using 
the two main public roadways (VA Routes 29 and 234) running through the 
Manassas National Battlefield Park is being rescinded. The NOI was 
published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2001. A draft EIS was 
released in January 2005. This rescission is based on a lack of 
available funding for the proposed new road alignments proposed by this 
project as well as lack of funding and planning approval for the Bi-
County Parkway.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Dowden, Chief of Business 
Operations, Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, FHWA, 21400 
Ridgetop Circle, Sterling, VA 20166, Telephone (571) 434-1598.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA in cooperation with the Virginia 
Department of Transportation, the National Park Service and impacted 
counties initiated preparation of a study to identify and study 
alternative means of transportation for vehicular traffic currently 
using the two main public roadways (VA Routes 29 and 234) running 
through the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The preferred 
alternative would utilize the proposed Bi-County Parkway alignment (as 
independently proposed by VDOT) with a new roadway located outside but 
adjacent to the park's east and north boundary as a full corridor (for 
Routes 29 and 234) Battlefield Bypass.
    The NOI for the previously notified EIS is being rescinded due to 
funding constraints for the proposed new road alignments proposed by 
the Draft EIS. A lack of funding and withdrawal of local planning 
approval for the Bi-County Parkway make it impossible to create a 
complete Battlefield Bypass without this essential roadway segment.
