SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Department of 

Transportation (Department or DOT) has 

prepared a document listing Federal 

environmental statutes, regulations, and 

Executive Orders that establish 

requirements applicable to the 

development and review of 

transportation infrastructure projects 

that receive financial support from the

requirements in a manner that is both 

environmentally sound and expeditious. 

The goal of this list is to contribute to 

this important effort by providing a brief 

description of the primary statutes, 

regulations, and Executive Orders 

applicable to the development and 

review of these transportation 

infrastructure projects. Additionally, 

many agencies have developed guidance

guidance. This summary is not, and

list of statutes, regulations, and 

Executive Orders that could apply to a 

transportation infrastructure project or 

an official or independent interpretation 

or expression of policy on the matters 

summarized. This document replaces

BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

Notice To Rescind Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement for Proposed Transit 

Improvements to the Red and Purple 

Lines, Cook County, Illinois 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescind notice of intent to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Transit 

Administration (FTA), in cooperation 

with the Chicago Transit Authority 

(CTA), is issuing this notice to advise 

the public that the Notice of Intent 

(NOI) to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

transportation improvements on the Red 

and Purple lines between Belmont 

Station in Chicago and Linden terminal 

in Wilmette, Illinois is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Reginald Arkell, Community Planner, 

Federal Transit Administration, Region 

V, 200 West Adams Street, Suite 320, 

Chicago, IL 60606, phone 312–886– 

3704, email reginald.arkell@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTA, 

as the lead federal agency, in 

cooperation with the CTA published a 

NOI in the Federal Register on January 

3, 2011 (76 FR 207–210) to prepare a 

Tier 1 EIS for the Red and Purple 

Modernization (RPM) project to bring 

9.6 miles of the Red and Purple lines up 

to a state of good repair, from the track 

structure immediately north of Belmont 

Station in Chicago to the Linden 

terminal in Wilmette, Illinois. On July 

26, 2012, FTA in cooperation with CTA 

published a supplemental NOI in the 

Federal Register (77 FR 43903) to 

inform interested parties that the EIS 

would no longer be a Tier 1 EIS as 

originally proposed and instead would 

be a standard project-level EIS. Since 

that time, FTA and CTA have decided 

to pursue a more tailored approach of 

environmental review for each project of 

independent utility within the RPM 

corridor. FTA and CTA anticipate that 

environmental assessments, leading to 

Findings of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), and categorical exclusions 

would be the appropriate classes of 

action under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for 

these projects. Therefore, the FTA has 

decided to rescind the NOI for the EIS. 

Comments and questions concerning 

the proposed actions should be directed 

to FTA at the address provided above.
