that are final. The actions relate to the I-526 Lowcountry Corridor

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FHWA and other 
Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing final 
approvals for the I-526 Lowcountry Corridor West (I-526 LCC West) 
project in Charleston County, South Carolina. The purpose of the I-526 
LCC West project is to increase capacity at the I-26/I-526 interchange 
and along the I-526 mainline from Paul Cantrell Boulevard to Virginia 
Avenue. The proposed project consists of 3.5 miles of work on I-26 and 
9.2 miles of work on I-526 for a total of 12.7 miles. The need for this 
project is derived from the following factors:
     Strong growth in population and employment.
     Decreased mobility and increased traffic congestion caused 
by base year traffic conditions and worsened by projected traffic 
conditions.
     Geometric deficiencies such as acceleration and 
deceleration lanes that are not long enough, short distances between 
entrance and exit ramps, tight curves on loop ramps, and poor sight 
distance.
     Pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and mobility needs.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Combined Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (FEIS)/Record of Decision (ROD) for the project, 
approved on September 30, 2022, and in other documents in the project 
records. The Combined FEIS/ROD and other documents in the project file 
are available by contacting the FHWA or SCDOT at the addresses above. 
The Combined FEIS/ROD along with referenced technical documents can 
also be viewed and downloaded from the project website at 
www.526lowcountrycorridor.com/west/feis-rod.
    The USACE Record of Decision and section 404 permit was issued on 
February 24, 2023. The USACE Section 404 permit and Record of Decision 
are available by contacting USACE at the address provided above. The 
USCG issued their Record of Decision and Bridge permit on March 23, 
2023. The USCG Section 9 permit and Record of Decision are available by
