Environmental Impact Statement: Logan and Payne Counties, 
Oklahoma

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for the proposed 
highway project in Logan and Payne Counties, Oklahoma.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mike Herron, Planning Team Leader, Federal Highway Administration, 715 
South Metropolitan Avenue, Suite 700, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73108, 
telephone [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA in cooperation with the Oklahoma 
Department of Transportation will prepare an EIS for a proposal to 
improve SH-33 from the I-35/SH-33 interchange east approximately 60 
kilometers (38 miles) to the western urban boundary of the City of 
Cushing, Logan and Payne Counties. Improvements to this segment of SH-
33 are considered necessary to provide for projected traffic demand, 
enhance safety, and replace structurally deficient bridge structures.
    The EIS will consider several alternatives, including: taking no 
action, reconstruction on existing alignment and construction on new 
alignment. The build alternatives will consider purchasing enough 
right-of-way to ultimately construct a four-lane facility but with an 
initial two-lane reconstruction or construction as recommended in the 
Statewide Intermodal Transportation Plan.
    The EIS process will solicit input from all appropriate federal, 
state, and local agencies. A public hearing will be held. Public notice 
will be given of the time and place of the hearing. The draft EIS will 
be available for public agency review and comment.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments 
and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or 
questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA at the address provided above.

    Issued on: July 17, 1995.
Mike Herron,
Planning Team Leader, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
