AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice to rescind a 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) and Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed Loop 9 from US 287 to IH 20. A NOI 
to prepare an EIS for proposed Loop 9 was published in the Federal 
Register on August 2, 2002 (Volume 67, No. 149, Page 50504), with a 
subsequent revision to the project limits published in the Federal 
Register on January 20, 2004 (Vol. 69, No. 12, Page 2809).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Salvador Deocampo, District 
Engineer, District A, Federal Highway Administration, Texas Division, 
300 East 8th Street, Room 826, Austin, Texas 78701. Telephone: (512) 
536-5950, Email: [email protected]. The FHWA Texas Division 
Office's normal business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Time).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, in cooperation with the Texas 
Department of Transportation (TxDOT), published a NOI in the Federal 
Register on August 2, 2002 (Volume 67, No. 149, Page 50504), and a NOI 
revision was made on January 20, 2004 (Vol. 69, No. 12, Page 2809) to 
prepare an EIS for Loop 9 from US 287 to IH 20 in Dallas and Ellis 
Counties. The original notice

can be viewed electronically at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2002-08-02/html/02-19541.htm. The revised notice can be viewed 
electronically at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2004-01-20/html/04-1131.htm. As a result of the retirement of the Trans Texas Corridor 
concept plan and change in the regional growth projections in the study 
area, it was determined that the travel demand in the Loop 9 project 
area would not warrant the project as originally proposed. TxDOT 
intends to conduct a feasibility study to determine a new direction for 
this transportation corridor. As a result, the above mentioned notices 
are rescinded.
