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 for proposed transportation improvements along the Interstate (I)-90/94 corridor, from the United States Highway (US) 12/Wisconsin State Highway (WIS) 16 interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Columbia, Sauk, and Juneau Counties in 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. 221, Nov. 17, 2014 for proposed transportation improvements along the approximately 25-mile I- 90/94 corridor, from the US 12/WIS 16 interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Juneau, Sauk, and Columbia Counties in Wisconsin. A revised NOI was published in the Federal Register Vol. 80 No. 229, Nov. 30, 2015 to advise the public that FHWA and WisDOT would be preparing a Tier 1 EIS for proposed transportation improvements along the I-90/94 corridor, from US 12/WIS 16 Interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Juneau, Sauk, and Columbia Counties in Wisconsin. 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-90/94 corridor, from the WIS 16 Interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Columbia, Sauk, and Juneau Counties will not be completed. Any future transportation improvements along the corridor will progress under a separate environmental review process in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
