SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a 
Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS) for a proposed highway project located in the City of Lawrence, 
Douglas County, Kansas, is cancelled. The NOI was originally published 
in the Federal Register on November 5, 1993. The cancellation is based

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Lawrence Eastern Parkway Environmental 
Impact Study was initiated by the City of Lawrence in 1989. In 1997, 
the City elected to withdraw its support and sponsorship of the 
Lawrence Eastern Parkway EIS. The City has directed that their staff 
bring closure to the study effort. The EIS documentation compiled to 
date for the proposed Lawrence Eastern Parkway will become a resource 
document and will not be considered a completed study document. There 
is agreement that there will be transportation needs that warrant this 
improvement in the future. Comments and questions concerning this 
proposed action and the EIS should be directed to the FHWA, KDOT, or 
the City of Lawrence at the addresses provided.

    Issued on: January 9, 1998.
