SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is issuing this

Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the US 301 
Waldorf Area Transportation Improvements Project in Charles and Prince

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the US 301 Waldorf Area 
Transportation Improvements Project was published in the Federal 
Register at 72 FR 13552 on March 22, 2007. The purpose and need for the 
project was to improve safety and accommodate existing and projected 
travel demand in the vicinity of Waldorf, Maryland. No alternative was 
selected at that time.
    The proposed transportation project included a portion of US 301 
extending from the US 301 intersection with Turkey Hill Road/Washington 
Avenue in Charles County, Maryland to the US 301/MD 5 interchange in 
Prince George's County, Maryland. The project was approximately 13 
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foreseeable future, the Notice of Intent is hereby rescinded.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.
