Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 63646 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2023 / Notices analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). 4. Identification of Alternative P as the Preferred Alternative in the DEIS. 5. Refinement to the Preferred Alternative P based on public input (Refined Preferred Alternative P). 6. Identification of Refined Preferred Alternative P as the Selected Alternative in the FEIS and ROD. The Selected Alternative, Refined Preferred Alternative P, begins at the I– 64/US 231 interchange and continues north and west to the I–69/US 231 Interchange, and includes local improvements along the existing US 231. The analysis showed that Refined Alternative P has the lowest impacts to environmental resources and the lowest cost of the three alternatives determined to meet the Purpose and Need. In response to public comments and in the interest of minimizing any potential economic impacts, Refined Alternative P contains three additional variations in the area near Loogootee, Indiana, which will be further evaluated in Tier 2 studies to determine a single alignment. Interested parties may consult the FEIS and ROD for details about each of the decisions described above and for information on other issues decided. The FEIS and ROD can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at https://midstatescorridor.com/. People unable to access the website may contact FHWA or INDOT at the addresses listed above.
