SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTA, as the lead Federal agency, in
cooperation with the NJ TRANSIT, published an NOI in the Federal
Register on October 2, 2007 (72 FR 56123) to prepare an EIS for the
proposed Northern Branch Project. The Northern Branch Project EIS was
being advanced to study the restoration of rail passenger service on
the Northern Branch rail corridor between North Bergen, Hudson County,
and Englewood, Bergen County. Based on FTA's most recent review of the
Project, FTA has decided to rescind the NOI due to all-encompassing
changes in the Project design and environmental impacts in the
following areas: floodplains, stormwater management, cultural
resources, hazardous materials, traffic and parking, and air quality,
all of which have occurred since 2007.
Comments and questions concerning the proposed action should be
directed to FTA at the address provided above.

Director of Planning and Program Development Federal Transit
