AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared for proposed 
transportation improvements in Davis County, Utah.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gregory Punske, Environmental Program 
Manager, Federal Highway Administration, 2520 West 4700 South, Suite 
9A, Salt Lake City, Utah 84118, Telephone: (801) 963-0182.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Utah 
Department of Transportation (UDOT) and Layton City, will prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal to address current 
and projected traffic demand and operations for the South Layton 
Interchange (1-15 Milepost 330) and to improve transportation access 
across the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to the developing area of west 
Layton. The proposed project study area will extend from the Kaysville 
200 North Interchange on the south to the Hill Field Interchange on the 
north and along an east-west corridor from Fort Lane Street to Flint 
Street or further west as determined during the environmental process. 
The project study area lies within Layton City and Kaysville City in 
Davis County.
    The public, as well as Federal, State, and local agencies, will be 
invited to participate in project scoping to ensure that a full range 
of alternatives is considered and that all appropriate environmental 
issues and resources are evaluated. The environmental process will 
include opportunities to provide comments on the purpose and need for 
the project, potential alternatives, and social, economic, and 
environmental issues of concern.
    The FHWA will consider a reasonable range of alternatives, based on 
agency and public input, to meet the project objectives of addressing 
current and projected traffic demand and operations at the 1-15 South 
Layton Interchange (1-15 Milepost 330) and improving transportation 
access to the area west of the Union Pacific Railroad.
    Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will 
be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and to 
private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or who 
are known to have an interest in this proposal.
    The public is invited to participate in a scoping meeting on May 
24, 2006 at the Layton Elementary School at 369 West Gentile Street, 
Layton, Utah. This public meeting will be an open house format from 5 
p.m. to 8 p.m.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed 
action is addressed and all significant issues are 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.
