SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that FTA has taken 
final agency actions by issuing certain approvals for the public

well as the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in 
the documentation issued in connection with the project to comply with

    Project name and location: Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project 
North Carolina Central University Station Refinement, Chapel Hill and 
Durham, NC. Project sponsor: Research Triangle Regional Public 
Transportation Authority d/b/a Triangle Transit Authority d/b/a

Impact Statement/Record of Decision expired on August 1, 2016, as 
noticed in the Federal Register on March 2, 2016 (81 FR 10952). This 
notice only applies to the discrete actions taken by FTA at this time, 
as described below. Final agency actions: No use determination of
