Federal Highway Administration November 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FHWA is issuing this rescinded notice to advise the public that the FHWA will not be preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed project involving approximately 3.8 miles of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE), Interstate 278 (I-278) in Kings County, New York (Project Identification Number X729.94). This segment of the BQE referred to as the Gowanus Expressway, extends from Sixth Avenue to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and contains 23 structures with a total deck area of approximately 2,000,000 square feet. A Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register in November 1996.

This document modifies an existing FHWA notice and request for application, originally published on October 21, 2011, at 76 FR 65561. The original notice invited eligible entities to apply for participation in the FHWA Multistate Corridor Operations and Management Program as authorized in 23 U.S.C. 511. This notice and correction clarifies the ``How to Apply'' process for that notice and request for applications, clarifies the application evaluation criteria for that notice and request for applications, and extends the deadline for submission of proposals for that notice and request for applications. Applications should still be submitted through https://www.grants.gov.
