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

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 
notice to advise the public that FHWA is rescinding its Notice of 
Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the US 1/MD 201 
project in Prince George's County, Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeanette Mar, Environmental Program 
Manager, Federal Highway Administration, Maryland Division, (410) 779-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the US 1/MD 201 project was 
published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 8332 on February 21, 2002. 
The purpose and need for the project was to improve safety and 
accommodate existing and projected travel demand in the vicinity of 
Beltsville, Maryland. No alternative was selected at that time.
    The proposed transportation project included portions of both the 
US 1 and MD 201 corridors between the Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495) and 
Muirkirk Road in Prince George's County, Maryland, a distance of 
approximately 5 miles in length.
    Due to Federal and State funding constraints, as well as the 
unlikelihood of adequate funding for all project phases in the 
foreseeable future, the Notice of Intent is hereby rescinded.

Gregory Murrill,
Division Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, Baltimore, 
Maryland.
