Federal Highway Administration May 29, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that 12 States have rescinded Notices of Intent (NOI) to prepare 17 Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for proposed highway projects. FHWA Division Offices, in consultation with the State Departments of Transportation (State DOT), determined that eight projects were no longer viable and have formally cancelled the projects. No resources will be expended on these projects; the environmental review process has been terminated. Seven projects are being reevaluated and, or have been reduced in scope and now meet the criteria for an Environmental Assessment (EA) or a Categorical Exclusion (CE). Two projects rescinded NOIs and will issue new NOIs as the project limits and impacts have changed.
