SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in coordination with NDOT,
published an NOI on March 22, 2024, at 89 FR 20530, to prepare an EIS
for transportation improvements to a
[[Page 90350]]
section of Interstate 11 (I-11)/U.S. Highway 95 (US 95)/US Highway 93
(US 93) in the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, known as the
Downtown Access Project. The agencies hereby notify the public of the
withdrawal of this NOI. The EIS process is being rescinded due to
recent and ongoing reprioritization of major projects within Nevada, as
well as the escalating overall cost of the project.
Any future federally assisted action within this corridor would
comply with the environmental review requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); 23 U.S.C.
139, CEQ regulations for implementing NEPA (40 Code of Regulations
[CFR] 1500-1508); FHWA regulations implementing NEPA (23 CFR parts 771,
772, and 774); and applicable Federal, State, and local laws and
regulations.
Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48.
Khoa Nguyen,
Division Administrator, Carson City, Nevada.
