Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent for an Environmental Impact 
Statement: Columbia, Sauk, and Juneau Counties, Wisconsin

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of Intent for a Tier 1 Environmental 
Impact Statement.

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

SUMMARY: A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a Tier 1 Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) was published in the Federal Register for 
proposed transportation improvements along the Interstate (I)-90/94 
corridor, from the United States Highway (US) 12/Wisconsin State 
Highway (WIS) 16 interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in 
Columbia, Sauk, and Juneau Counties in Wisconsin. The FHWA is issuing 
this notice to advise the public that FHWA and the Wisconsin Department 
of Transportation (WisDOT) will no longer prepare a Tier 1 EIS in this 
corridor due to recent and on-going reprioritization of major 
transportation projects.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Davies, Division 
Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 525 Junction Road, Suite 
8000, Madison, Wisconsin 53717-2157, Telephone: (608) 829-7500. You may 
also contact Steve Krebs, Director, Bureau of Technical Services, 
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 7965, Madison, 
Wisconsin 53707-7965, Telephone: (608) 246-7930.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA originally issued an NOI to prepare 
an EIS in the Federal Register Vol. 79 No. 221, Nov. 17, 2014 for 
proposed transportation improvements along the approximately 25-mile I-
90/94 corridor, from the US 12/WIS 16 interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 
interchange in Juneau, Sauk, and Columbia Counties in Wisconsin. A 
revised NOI was published in the Federal Register Vol. 80 No. 229, Nov. 
30, 2015 to advise the public that FHWA and WisDOT would be preparing a 
Tier 1 EIS for proposed transportation improvements along the I-90/94 
corridor, from US 12/WIS 16 Interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange 
in Juneau, Sauk, and Columbia Counties in Wisconsin. The project is 
being canceled due to recent and on-going reprioritization of major 
transportation projects. As such the preparation of the Tier 1 EIS for 
proposed transportation improvements along the I-90/94 corridor, from 
the WIS 16 Interchange to the I-39/WIS 78 interchange in Columbia, 
Sauk, and Juneau Counties will not be completed. Any future 
transportation improvements along the corridor will progress under a 
separate environmental review process in accordance with all applicable 
laws and regulations.
