Rescission of Record of Decision and Final Environmental Impact 
Statement

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

ACTION: Notice to rescind the Record of Decision (ROD) and the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that we 
are rescinding the 2003 Record of Decision (ROD) and the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that proposed to construct a 
segment of Interstate 66 (I-66) between eastern Pike County, Kentucky 
and western Mingo County, West Virginia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Nelson, Jr., Division 
Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, Kentucky Division, 330 
South Broadway Street, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601, Telephone: (502) 
223-6720.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, as the lead Federal agency, in 
cooperation with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), is 
rescinding the Record of Decision (ROD) and the Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (FEIS) for the proposal to construct a segment of 
Interstate 66 in Pike County, Kentucky and Mingo County, West Virginia. 
The Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) was published in the Federal Register on March 15, 
2000. The ROD was issued in October 27, 2003. The FHWA has determined, 
in conjunction with the KYTC, that the ROD and the FEIS for the project 
shall be rescinded for the following reasons: No foreseeable connection 
to the King Coal Highway; significant impacts of the 2003 Selected 
Alternative; other regional improvements meet the purposes and needs of 
the project; and the lack of funding for the construction of the 
project.
    Any future Federal-aided action within this corridor will comply 
with environmental review requirements of the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321), FHWA environmental regulations (23 
CFR 771) and related authorities, as appropriate. Comments and 
questions concerning this action should be directed to FHWA at the 
address provided above.

    Issued on June 15, 2018.
Thomas Nelson, Jr.,
Division Administrator, FHWA Kentucky Division, Frankfort, Kentucky.
