Environmental Process: Clark County, Nevada
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Revised notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that the
previously noticed environmental process for the Northern and Western
Las Vegas Beltway, Clark County, Nevada (57 FR 37863 dated August 20,
1992), is being terminated and withdrawn.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John T. Price, Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration,
Nevada Division, 705 N. Plaza St., Suite 220, Carson City, NV 89701,
Telephone: 702-687-5320.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 20, 1992, the FWHA issued a notice
of intent in the Federal Register to advise that a Tier 1 environmental
impact
[[Page 46547]]
statement (EIS) would be prepared for the above project. This Tier 1
EIS was approved on June 7, 1996, and a Record of Decision (ROD) was
issued by FHWA on August 5, 1996. Subsequent to initiation of the Tier
1 EIS, Clark County committed to obtaining all rights-of-way and
constructing an interim facility with local funds. The 20-year design
facility was originally expected to be at least partially Federally
funded. Recently, Clark County concluded that no Federal-aid Highway
funds will be required. Since the use of Federal-aid Highway funds for
the project are no longer anticipated, their is no major Federal action
warranting FHWA's involvement in the environmental process.
Therefore, at the request of Clark County, Nevada, the previously
noticed environmental process is hereby terminated and withdrawn. FHWA
will not prepare a Tier 2 environmental document.
