SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Wisconsin 
Department of Transportation (WisDOT), will no longer be preparing an 
EIS for proposed improvements at the I-39/90 and US 12/18 interchange 
(Beltline Interchange) and adjacent local road systems. This change 
occurred because of a change in priorities at WisDOT. An EA will be 
prepared for a proposed improvement project at this location with 
reduced scope. The agency coordination process outlined in 23 CFR 
771.119 will be followed for the EA. Comments and questions concerning 
this action should be directed to FHWA or WisDOT at the addresses 
provided above.

implementing the procedural requirements of the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and FHWA's NEPA 
implementing regulations (23 CFR part 771).
