SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans, as the delegated 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) agency, is rescinding the NOI 
to prepare an EIS for the Hopland Bypass Project in Mendocino County, 
California. The 8.8 mile project proposed to construct a four-lane 
freeway or expressway on State Route 101 in southern Mendocino County 
and bypass the community of Hopland. Since the NOI to prepare an EIS 
was published in the Federal Register on September 5, 2002, Caltrans 
conducted public involvement and agency coordination, developed a 
purpose and need for the project, and studied seven preliminary 
alternatives. The NOI is being rescinded due to a lack of funds being 
identified in this program type. Comments or questions concerning this 
proposed action should be directed to Caltrans at the address provided 
above.
