SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FHWA has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(0)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of Kentucky: The U.S. 60 Capacity and Safety Improvement 
project involves widening U.S. 60 to the north of the existing roadway 
between Morganfield and KY 141 (South) in Waverly, a bypass around the 
south side of Waverly and widening U.S. 60 between Waverly and Highland 
Creek. At the Highland Creek crossing the project extends northeast on 
new alignment bypassing Corydon to the west, reconnecting with existing 
U.S. 60 to widen the remaining 3.7 miles terminating at KY 425, the 
Henderson Bypass. The roadway will be four lanes with a forty foot 
depressed grass median with twelve foot outside shoulders and six foot 
inside shoulders. The purpose of the project is to meet the 
transportation demands and capacity needs necessary to make the U.S. 60 
highway corridor in the area function effectively, and to address 
safety concerns. The study area is between the cities of Morganfield 
and Henderson, in Union and Henderson Counties, and U.S. 60 is the only 
major east-west corridor in this portion of the state.
    The actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such 
actions were taken, are described in the Finding of No Significant 
Impact (FONSI) for the project, approved on April 9, 2012 (FHWA) and
