SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Tennessee 
Department of Transportation, will prepare an environmental impact 
statement (EIS) on a proposal to construct a partial access-controlled 
four-land divided facility from State Route 13 at the existing 
Cumberland Heights Drive intersection to the State Route 76/North 
Parkway interchange west of Liberty Church Road in Montgomery County, 
Tennessee. The proposed State Route 374 would be primarily on new 
location and will be approximately 10.8-12.2 kilometers (6.7-7.6 miles) 
in length, depending upon the choice of proposed alternative. 
Improvements to the corridor are considered necessary to provide for 
both present and projected traffic needs.
    Options under consideration include: (1) Taking no action and (2) 
constructing a partial access-controlled four-lane divided facility on 
primarily new location. There are two major build alternatives being 
proposed.
    Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments were 
sent to appropriate federal, state, and local agencies on September 23, 
1996. A public hearing will be held at a future date. Public notice 
will be given of the time and place of this hearing. The Draft EIS will 
be available for public and agency review and comment. These activities 
are providing input regarding the scope of the EIS.
    To insure that the full range of issues to this proposed action are 
addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and 
suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments and 
suggestions concerning the proposed action and the EIS should be 
directed to the FHWA at the address above.
