Statement.

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

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) is issuing this notice to advise the public 
that the Notice of Intent (NOI) published on October 11, 2016 (Page: 
70247-70248 (2 pages), Document Number: 2016-24480) to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed highway project on 
Interstate 605 in Los Angeles County is being rescinded.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Kosinski, Deputy District 
Director, Division of Environmental Planning, District 7, 100 South 
Main Street, Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90012, (213) 897-0703.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, the Federal Highway 
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and the California Department of 
Transportation (Caltrans) assumed, environmental responsibilities for 
this project pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans, as the delegated 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) agency, is rescinding the NOI 
to prepare an EIS for the I-605/SR-60 Improvement Project in Los 
Angeles County, California.
    The Project proposes widening along southbound and northbound I-605 
and the addition of one mixed flow lane (a standard freeway lane where 
vehicles with any number of occupants can drive anytime) along 
westbound SR-60 within the Project limits. The Project will also 
include the addition of auxiliary lanes, where necessary (lanes used to 
separate entering, exiting, or weaving traffic from through traffic). 
Improvements to local streets and interchanges would be required as 
part of the Project. Interchanges that would be affected include the I-
605/Slauson Avenue Interchange, I-605/Washington Boulevard Interchange, 
I-605/Whittier Boulevard Interchange, I-605/Beverly Boulevard 
Interchange, I-605/Rose Hills Road Interchange, I-605/Peck Road 
Interchange, I-605/SR 60 Interchange, I-605/Valley Boulevard 
Interchange, and SR 60/Peck Road Interchange. The NOI is being 
rescinded due to the extension of project limits. Comments or questions 
concerning this proposed action should be directed to Caltrans at the 
address provided above.
