Environmental Impact Statement: Outagamie and Shawano Counties, 
Wisconsin

AGENCY: Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), Federal 
Highway Administration (FHWA).

ACTION: Rescind notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this revised notice to advise the public 
that FHWA and WisDOT will not prepare a Tier 1 Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for long-range transportation improvements in the WIS 
47 corridor in Outagamie and Shawano Counties, Wisconsin. A Notice of 
Intent to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on 
November 18, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tracey Blankenship, Major Projects 
Program Manager, Federal Highway Administration, 525 Junction Road, 
Suite 8000, Madison, WI 53717; Telephone: (608) 829-7500. You may also 
contact Matthew Haefs, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, 944 
Vanderperren Way, Green Bay, WI 54304; Telephone: (920) 492-5702.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with WisDOT, will 
not prepare an EIS as previously intended on long-range improvements to 
address transportation demand, traffic operations, safety concerns, and 
corridor preservation needs on an approximate 33-mile portion of WIS 47 
between US 41 in Outagamie County and WIS 29 in Shawano County. The EIS 
for this corridor is no longer needed because sufficient funds are not 
available at this time to program design or construction projects that 
would result from this study.
