SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The scope of the project has been adjusted 
to include only the construction of a 2-lane all-weather roadway within 
existing right-of-way owned by Sandoval County.
    The project will begin 3.06 miles north of the Bernalillo County 
line and extend north for 2.12 miles to Alice King Way. The proposed 
roadway will consist of two 12-ft driving lanes and 3.7-ft shoulders. 
The roadway will have a gravel surface and will be designed to meet a 
design speed of 50 miles per hour. Drainage improvements will be 
provided where the roadway crosses existing water flows.
    Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended, 
FHWA, in cooperation with the NMDOT, is preparing a categorical 
exclusion for the proposed improvements. While hard copy comments are 
preferred, comments by electronic mail may be sent to
