Environmental Process: Clark County, Nevada

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Revised notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that the 
previously noticed environmental process for the Northern and Western 
Las Vegas Beltway, Clark County, Nevada (57 FR 37863 dated August 20, 
1992), is being terminated and withdrawn.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John T. Price, Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, 
Nevada Division, 705 N. Plaza St., Suite 220, Carson City, NV 89701, 
Telephone: 702-687-5320.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 20, 1992, the FWHA issued a notice 
of intent in the Federal Register to advise that a Tier 1 environmental 
impact

[[Page 46547]]

statement (EIS) would be prepared for the above project. This Tier 1 
EIS was approved on June 7, 1996, and a Record of Decision (ROD) was 
issued by FHWA on August 5, 1996. Subsequent to initiation of the Tier 
1 EIS, Clark County committed to obtaining all rights-of-way and 
constructing an interim facility with local funds. The 20-year design 
facility was originally expected to be at least partially Federally 
funded. Recently, Clark County concluded that no Federal-aid Highway 
funds will be required. Since the use of Federal-aid Highway funds for 
the project are no longer anticipated, their is no major Federal action 
warranting FHWA's involvement in the environmental process.

    Therefore, at the request of Clark County, Nevada, the previously 
noticed environmental process is hereby terminated and withdrawn. FHWA 
will not prepare a Tier 2 environmental document.
