SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared for a proposed highway 
project in Barbour County, Alabama.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Joe D. Wilkerson, Division Administrator, Federal Highway 
Administration, 500 Eastern Boulevard, Suite 200, Montgomery, Alabama 
36117-2018, Telephone (205) 223-7370.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Alabama 
Department of Transportation, will prepare an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) on a proposal to improve a segment of U.S. Highway 431 
in Barbour County, Alabama. The purpose of the proposed project is to 
provide a safe, efficient, cost-effective, multi-lane facility, capable 
of handling existing and future traffic demands. The EIS will evaluate 
the realigning of a portion of U.S. 431 to function as a bypass around 
the City of Eufaula, Alabama. The proposed project will begin on U.S. 
Highway 431, south of the City of Eufaula near Cheneghatchee Creek.

    The route will extend to the northeast, passing around the City, 
and terminating with the intersection of U.S. 431 near Hoboken. The 
length of the proposal is approximately 6.4 kilometers (4 miles). 
Alternatives under consideration include: (1) alternate route 
locations, (2) taking no action, and (3) postponing the action.
    Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will 
be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies and private 
organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or are known 
to have an interest in this proposal. A public involvement meeting and 
a public hearing will be held in the City of Eufaula. Public notice 
will be given of the time and the place of the meeting and hearing. No 
formal scoping meeting is planned at this time.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments 
and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or 
questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA at the address provided above.
