ACTION: Notice of withdrawal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is issuing this notice to advise the public, that our October 17, 1994, Notice of Intent to complete a Supplement to the Final Environmental Impact Statement is withdrawn. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Geiger, P.E., Division Administrator, FHWA 3300 S.W. Topeka Boulevard, Suite 1, Topeka, Kansas 66611-2237, Telephone: (913) 267-7281. [[Page 10306]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It was the intent of FHWA to re-evaluate the Final Environmental Impact Statement for that portion of the South Lawrence Trafficway project from U.S. 59 east to K-10. FHWA wanted to consider the effects of the proposed trafficway on the spiritual sites, cultural issues, and academic programs at the Haskell Indian Nations University. FHWA prepared and circulated a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and received many comments. FHWA was in the process of evaluating these comments when Douglas County and the Kansas Department of Transportation decided not to use Federal-aid Highway funds for the project. Therefore, FHWA is no longer the lead Federal agency for this project and is discontinuing the Supplemental Environmental document process. The Record of Decision dated June 5, 1990, is now valid only for that portion of the Trafficway from the western terminus to U.S. 59. Issued on: February 27, 1997. David R. Geiger, Division Administrator, Kansas Division, Federal Highway Administration, Topeka, Kansas. [FR Doc. 97-5531 Filed 3-5-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-22-M
