SUMMARY: This notice is a revision of the July 11, 2007 Notice of 
Intent (Federal Register Volume 72, Number 132, Page 37814) which 
advised that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared 
for a project in San Diego, California. The purpose of this revised 
notice is to advise agencies and the public that environmental review, 
consultation, and any other action required in accordance with 
applicable Federal laws for this project is being, or has been, carried 
out by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) under its 
assumption of responsibility, pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Nagy, Senior Environmental 
Planner, California Department of Transportation, 4050 Taylor Street, 
San Diego, CA 92110, Telephone: (619) 688-0224.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise 
the public that an EIS will be prepared for proposed improvements on 
Interstate 805 (I-805) in San Diego, CA. Proposed improvements include 
construction of managed lanes, direct access ramps, in-line transit 
stations, and auxiliary lanes between Palomar Street and University 
Avenue. These proposed improvements are necessary to convey existing 
and projected traffic demand. Alternatives under consideration include 
(1) taking no action; (2) constructing two managed lanes from Palomar 
Street to State Route 94; and (3) constructing four managed lanes from 
Palomar Street to State Route 94. Incorporated into and studied with 
the build alternatives will be design variations for locations of 
direct access ramps, auxiliary lanes, and in-line transit stations. 
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 are known 
to have interest in this proposal. A public scoping meeting will be 
held for the project, and a separate mailing will be sent out to all 
interested parties with the specific date, time, and location for the 
meeting. In addition, a public hearing will be held during draft EIS 
circulation. Public notice will be given as to the time and place of 
the hearing. The draft EIS will be available for public and agency 
review and comment prior to the public hearing.
    To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues 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 contacts provided above.
