52954 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 179 / Monday, September 17, 2007 / Notices 

Impact Statement for the Jackson South 

Segment (MP 141.3–148.6). The termini 

for this segment were deemed to have 

independent utility and logical termini 

because the alternatives under 

consideration will not require 

additional improvements or 

modification to the recently completed 

five-lane section south of Jackson or 

restrict consideration of alternatives at 

Hoback Junction. The Jackson South 

Segment primarily addresses travel 

demand, safety, and roadway deficiency 

needs, and includes construction of two 

Snake River crossings, two landslide 

areas, potential archaeological impacts 

and potential wetland impacts. The 

proposed alternatives will tie into the 

recently completed five-lane section 

south of Jackson, and will follow 

essentially the existing roadway 

alignment. 

FHWA and WYDOT have solicited 

public input throughout the EIS process. 

Notice of future public meetings and 

public hearing will continue to be given 

through various forums providing the 

time and place of the meeting along 

with other relevant information. The 

Draft EIS will be available for public 

and agency review and comment prior 

to the public hearing. 

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48. 

Dated: September 11, 2007.
