Notice To Rescind Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement: Benton County, MO

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that we 
are rescinding the Notice Of Intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental 
impact statement (EIS) for a proposed project in central Missouri. The 
NOI was published in the Federal Register on April 20, 1994. This 
rescission is based on a reduction in scope from the 1994 proposal to 
build a 17.5-mile, four-lane relocation of U.S. Route 65 in Benton 
County.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy J. Casey, Environmental Projects 
Engineer, FHWA Division Office, 3220 West Edgewood, Suite H, Jefferson 
City, MO 65109; Telephone: (573) 638-2620 or Mr. Kevin Keith, Chief 
Engineer, Missouri Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 270, 
Jefferson City, MO 65102, Telephone: (573) 751-2803.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This project as now proposed involves 
widening approximately 15 miles of U.S. Route 65 in Benton County, 
Missouri, from two lanes to four lanes with consideration of relocation 
in the vicinity of Lincoln. We will also consider a two plus one 
improvement, which calls for two lanes with the addition of a passing 
lane, where needed. The proposed project begins south of the Missouri 
Route 52 South Junction and proceeds southward to the Missouri Route 7 
North Junction at Warsaw.
