Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement for Transportation Improvements on I-84 in Fairfield 
County and New Haven County, CT

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of Intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that, 
effective immediately, we are rescinding the Notice of Intent (NOI) to 
prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed 
transportation improvements along the I-84 Corridor in Fairfield County 
and New Haven County, CT. The NOI was published in the Federal Register 
(FR) on April 11, 2005 (FR Vol. 70, No. 68, p. 18454; FR Doc 05-7232).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eloise Powell, Team Leader for 
Planning, Environment, and Research, FHWA Connecticut Division, 628-2 
Hebron Avenue, Suite 303, Glastonbury, CT 06033, Telephone: (860) 494-
7566, Email: eloise.powell@dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the 
Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), issued a NOI on April 
11, 2005, to prepare an EIS for proposed transportation improvements

[[Page 24060]]

along the I-84 Corridor in Fairfield County and New Haven County, CT, 
for a distance of approximately 32 miles. The purposes of the proposed 
improvements were to improve safety and provide increased capacity to 
meet future traffic demands. Due to the re-prioritization of major 
transportation projects in Connecticut and funding constraints, the 
CTDOT is no longer pursuing this project. Therefore, the NOI for this 
project is rescinded. Studies are being done to determine specific 
safety and capacity improvements along the I-84 corridor, and any 
future transportation improvements will progress under a separate 
environmental review process, in accordance with all applicable laws 
and regulations.

    Dated: April 23, 2014.

FHWA Connecticut Division Administrator, Glastonbury, Connecticut.
