ACTION: Notice to rescind a Notice of Intent for a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was published in the Federal Register Vol. 80 No. 184, Sept. 23, 2015 for a proposed freeway corridor improvement project on Interstate (I)-39/90/94 from the United States Highway (US) 12/18 interchange to the I-39/Wisconsin State Highway (WIS) 78 interchange in Dane and Columbia counties in south-central Wisconsin. The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that FHWA and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will no longer prepare a Tier 1 EIS in this corridor due to recent and on-going reprioritization of major transportation projects. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Davies, Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 525 Junction Road, Suite 8000, Madison, Wisconsin, 53717-2157, Telephone: (608) 829-7500. You may also contact Steve Krebs, Director, Bureau of Technical Services, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 7965, Madison, Wisconsin 53707-7965, Telephone: (608) 246-7930. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA originally issued an NOI to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register Vol. 79 No. 224, Nov. 20, 2014 for an approximately 35-mile freeway corridor improvement project on I-39/90/ 94 from the United States Highway (US) 12/18 interchange to the I-39/ Wisconsin State Highway (WIS) 78 interchange in Dane and Columbia counties in south Central Wisconsin. A revised NOI was published in the Federal Register Vol 80 No. 184, Sept. 23, 2015 to advise the public that FHWA and WisDOT would be preparing a Tier 1 EIS for proposed transportation improvements along the I-39/90/94 corridor, from the US 12/18 Interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Dane and Columbia Counties in south-central Wisconsin. As part of the Tier 1 EIS, more detailed analysis for a 6.6 mile portion of the corridor from Columbia County Highway CS to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange (south of Portage) had been planned. The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that FHWA and WisDOT will no longer prepare a Tier 1 EIS for the I-39/90/94 corridor in Dane and Columbia Counties, Wisconsin generally along the I-39/90/94 corridor, from the US 12/18 interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange. The project is being canceled due to recent and on-going reprioritization of major transportation projects. As such the preparation of the Tier 1 EIS for proposed transportation improvements along the I-39/90/94 corridor, from the US 12/18 Interchange to the I- 39/WIS 78 interchange in Dane [[Page 13920]] and Columbia Counties in south-central Wisconsin will not be completed.
