DATES:

Per the original notice, any claim seeking review of the Federal agency actions on this highway project will be barred unless filed on or before June 18, 2018.

Background

On January 19, 2018, FHWA posted a Federal Register notice at 83 FR 2867 announcing a limitation of claims for the following highway project in the State of Rhode Island: Toll Locations 1 and 2 in the Towns of Hopkinton, Richmond, and Exeter. The actions by FHWA, and the laws under which such actions were taken, are described in the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project approved on December 15, 2017, and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on December 20, 2017. The EA, FONSI, and other project records are available by contacting FHWA or the Rhode Island Department of Transportation at the addresses provided above. The EA and FONSI can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at http://www.dot.ri.gov/rhodeworks/.

The January 19 notice incorrectly stated that FHWA assumed environmental responsibilities for this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. The FHWA clarifies that 23 U.S.C. 327 is not applicable here and that Federal environmental review responsibilities remain with FHWA for this project. That notice also incorrectly listed 5 Executive Orders in paragraph 10: E.O. 11514, Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality; E.O. 11593, Protection and Enhancement of Cultural Resources; E.O. 13007, Indian Sacred Sites; E.O. 13287, Preserve America; and E.O. 13112, Invasive Species. The FHWA clarifies that it only intended to list the following: E.O. 11990, Protection of Wetlands; E.O. 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations; E.O. 11988, Floodplain Management; and E.O. 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments.

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 139( l)(1).

Issued on: February 8, 2018.

Carlos C. Machado,

FHWA Rhode Island Division Administrator, Providence, Rhode Island.
